Fear can hold you prisoner. Hope can set you free!!

For some strange reasons today, this fine line from arguably one of the finest movies ever made constantly reverberates in my head. Fear it seems does strange things to you. It stifles your senses and takes away every last ounce of confidence that you have. The fear of failure, it seems is the first one to hit. Every small failure adds to its monstrous power, till we are no longer willing to take risk, till every step of ours feels like one step away from fall. We wait for life to offer us an anti-dote. We wail and wait for the defining moment when we would be able to control our lives again. And then hope sets in. We are able to see clearly again. We tell ourselves for the umpteenth time that things would be fine, we rise. We are no more afraid to fall; there is a quite confidence, a clear vision. We are no more bounded by fear; hope has just unraveled the knot. Life is good again. A reason for living, a hope for redemption.

P.S. Did you know if you type ‘reject’ on your phone in the dictionary mode, it spells ‘select’. Probably Nokia knew it better.
