So we came to the conclusion that the fear has to be faced and opposed. But we need inner strength to face and fight this fear complex. It is not possible to fight fear without this inner strength. The question is how to muster this inner strength. In fact we do not need to muster this strength, it is already within us. We must be conscious of it. We must be aware that we will be able to face the fear with this understanding, determination, firmness and stubbornness that lie within us. All of us have this strength and does not need to be imported from outside. It is not like money that you can get it from a bank. We already have this strength. We must make a firm determination that we want to fight this fear. Once this is done the inner strength is already within us. It is not to be imported from out side. Why did we not use this inner strength? Because we did not think to use it.
For example we do not know about the sales, marketing and profits till the merchandise is put on sale in the market. Similarly we have never used this inner strength and are not aware of its powers.
When we face these complexes, its strength seems to intensify. Some may think that the strength of this fear gets to be less when we face it upfront. In fact fear seems to gather strength and appears more than it actually is. This is the time to show our worth and fight it. We can see that it is expanding in the negative side and at that time, with our firm determination it must be removed. Our inner strength that develops with this firm determination helps us a lot. This inner strength does not come from the sky at this time.
