Refrain from permitting fear to dominate your actions.

Whatever you aspire to achieve in life, it is possible to accomplish it flawlessly and excel if you refrain from allowing fear to gain the upper hand, even if the task exceeds your perceived capabilities. 

How can you overcome the things that intimidate you the most when you have no desire to confront them? 

How can you emerge victorious over the things that intimidate you the most when you have no intention of engaging with them? 

Refrain from permitting fear to dominate your actions.

There are certain factors that must be eliminated from the outset; 

there are also certain elements that should be controlled from the beginning before they spiral out of control. 

If you are someone who consistently strives to provide for your family, it is essential to exercise sensibility and rationality. 

In a particular community, there lived a poor man alongside his neighbours. 

This individual faced numerous challenges prior to his demise, enduring significant hardship to provide for his family.

One day, one of his neighbours paid him a visit and was welcomed by the entire family, and they also engaged in some other conversations in the sitting room. 

The poor man requested that his wife prepare a meal for the visitor, as it was his first visit. 

Although the visitor insisted that they shouldn't bother, the poor man persuaded him to wait and partake in the meal, 

emphasizing that declining the offer would be inappropriate, given that it was his inaugural visit.

In addition, the neighbour who was the visitor paid them another visit several months later. 

The man requested that his wife replicate the actions she took previously, but on this occasion, the visitor did not express any disapproval regarding the food. 

The food was expertly prepared by the poor man's wife, and she served the visitor with the same courtesy as before. 

The visitor ate peacefully and even took extra food home, notwithstanding the family's socio-economic status.

Upon witnessing this occurrence once again, the poor man's wife summoned her husband after the visitor's departure and initiated a counseling session, reminding him of their circumstances. 

She admonished him to prevent a recurrence during the visitor's next visit, emphasizing the potential for uncontrollable consequences if left unchecked. 

"It's insignificant; is it not merely a matter of providing him with sustenance whenever he arrives?" the poor man responded.

Are you still interested?

 Let me summarize the story for you. 

Just read on. However, this behaviour continued to the extent that whenever the visitor visited them, 

he would simply greet the person present at the moment and proceed directly to the room, where he would consume any available food or take it home. 

On occasion, he would visit the impoverished individual's residence and take valuable items to his own home, disregarding their circumstances.

In conclusion, they were exceedingly fatigued to the point where they could no longer endure it. 

It became something beyond their control, prompting them to seek a solution. 

However, if it had been controlled from the beginning, a situation like this wouldn’t have happened.

What strategies do you think they could have employed to resolve this issue?
