How do you overcome your fears?

Good morning, or Good afternoon, or Good afternoon;
this post would take approximately five minutes to read from start to finish.

I would like to ask you the following questions and you may or may not ask yourself and answer the following questions either now or in your own time. What's your definition and understanding of the word "fear"?

What is your worst fear or fears that you have ever experienced in your life so far? Are you having fears
about the future?

Do you have a fear of someone's choices may have limited your choices about employment?
Do you have a fear of someone's choices may have limited your choices about education?

What are your current fears? What are you doing to overcome present fears?
Do you have a fear of losing someone such as a loved one or a friend?

What was some of your past fears and were you able to overcome any of those past fears?
How did you overcome those fears?
"Fear not, little flock." - President Uchtdorf. 
When I was childhood years, and even now at times; I had and I still have fear about noises from thunderstorms. 
If thunderstorms are happening overnight; I wouldn't be able to go to sleep straight away, I would get so scared that I would try to wake up my husband and cuddle up with me. I have been doing a strategy of praying to have comfort whenever there is thunderstorms and sometimes, I would even pray to ask for the thunderstorms to go away.

During my teens years, and even now at times; I had and I still have fear about death. I don't ever imagine myself to ever die at a young age. I have been able to share the topic of The Plan of Salvation to non-members and I have been able to remind myself about The Plan of Salvation.

During my teens years, and even now at times; I had and I still have fear about losing loved ones and friends who passed away before I do. I have learned it is okay to mourn with those who have passed away before I do, it certainly does take some time for me to overcome and move forward after they have passed away before I do, it certainly does take some time for me to build confidence to share the topic of The Plan of Salvation to other non-member friends and remind myself about The Plan of Salvation. It brings joy to me to know that I would be able to have multiple opportunities to see them again in Heaven when I return one day.

During my childhood years, my teens and even now at times; I had and I still have fear about losing friendships. There is always a season for everything and everything has its own purpose. I know that I often make a lot of friends and it's always great to talk to true friends. When the spark of friendships starts to disappear and goes away, it comes to reality for me to not be friends with them anymore.

At times, it does hurt especially after being a friend for a several years or so and did my very best to continue being friends with them. When it's time to let go, it's a good way to have refresh start and find other friends to talk to and spend some time with.

Sometimes former friends blocks me on social media accounts and could possibly block my phone number. I know that it is either something that I did or they have done to get me overthinking that I was friends or more than friends with them in the first place. When they don't block me on social media accounts, I used to check their social media accounts and found out that they have moved on with their lives especially with getting married and later on, having children. It is obvious that they just aren't interested of being friends anymore and doesn't want to repair a friendship.

I learned to tell myself that I need to constantly reassure myself to know who my real and true friends are. I know that I barely on social media accounts these days, I don't really talk to huge amount of friends anymore like I used to while I was living in Australia. I learned to be careful of what to say to friends and how to choose friends wisely.

Stay Tuned until next time.
