My two biggest fears in life and what I do about them
What are your fears?
I was asked this very question during a coaching session. I couldn’t come up with an answer right away because thinking about my fears isn’t something I do often. Unlike strengths and weaknesses which are standard self-assessment and behavioural interview questions, I didn’t remember the last time I had to talk about my fears.
Even though I couldn’t give my answer right away, I thought about the question of “What are my fears?” over a few days and wrote them down in my notebook.
My two biggest fears are:
Not having any direction in life aka the fear of uncertainty
I am not someone who is so spontaneous and can decide things on a whim. I am adaptable with changes but I need to know the vision to be really comfortable. To know that I am heading in the right direction for my life is pretty important to me. That is why I have never done anything like taking a year off work and seeing where life would take me. Or moving to a remote country and waiting to see what opportunities would present.
