Fear is when you are confused about how your skill sets will match the situation life has thrown at you. Fear always asks questions – Can you do it? Can you make that happen?
The fear that simmers in you has to be addressed and answered – by you, with your skill sets. The better equipped and more knowledgeable you are, the higher the chances of putting your fear to rest.
You need to answer the questions fear asks you, and the moment you do that, fear turns into confidence.
On the other hand, shock is not a friendly chap at all.
Shock usually occurs when you are not prepared for a situation and don’t know how to react or respond. Shock numbs you, freezing your system from doing anything – mentally or physically.
Shock usually occurs when you’re not aware of things or have not seasoned yourself with the right learning, reading, and writing. It could occur to those who do not know what their skill sets really are or who have taken their skill sets too lightly.
Shock loves to stick in the pitfalls of ignorance, ego, and laziness, and it resides there until you get your act together.
One’s passion for music starts with a shock, moves into fear, and then into confidence.
