Fear is a natural feeling that exist in every human but some people just know how to control it and overcome their fear better than others... Fear really had a negative impact in my life for years before i finally decided to overcome it and guess what fear that was?

it was the fear of losing and because of this, i never participated in any competition, i hate losing so much and i tried to avoid anything that will make me compete with others, i thought that was the best thing to do until one day i had a competition with my brother, it was a race competition on a bicycle and even throughout that race, my heart was beating very fast, the fear of losing to him did not even make me enjoy the race and i end up losing to him, but one thing i learnt from it was that i did not feel that bad for losing , infact we all laughed over it and right there i realized i have missed so much in life and losing does not really mean anything as long as we are ready to try again, all winners have failed sometime in their life, so losing is what makes you stronger and pave way for you to win....

Adult hood made competition something you will engage in on daily basis, competition to survive, competition to be better than who you are yesterday and so many more and right now i can say my greatest fear in life is going broke!

Fear of being Broke

Men are really trying, isn't it funny that 80 percent of the money i am earning is not even spent by me but by family? and this is the case with all responsible men out there, we earn to take care of our family and our loved ones...

The fear of being broke in life is my greatest fear honestly, it would mean i have failed as a son, uncle, brother and a potential husband... What will i tell them? i would even feel bad when my people need money and i am not able to provide it for them.....

A situation that will make us go from grace to grass will never happen to us, imagine you that you always have three square meals to eat without any difficulty now finding it hard to eat breakfast, going from being rich to poor is one of the worst thing that can happen to a man and i don't wish it for my enemies...

Some people close to me would always say, i don't party, i don't go out, i don't do this and that, i just smile because i know they are ignorant, most of the people that went from being rich to poor is due to lack of management of their funds, some will waste money on things they do not really need to impress people that don't care about them, some will say we only live once and start spending anyhow, i guess they forgot that once can last for years....

The fear of being broke has kept me on my toes, especially anytime i am feeling lazy to work and i remember poverty, the energy will just come from no where and within a jiffy am back to hustling to earn more money and i think that will keep on going till i hit a jackpot that will make me rich forever and my next three generations won't suffer due to what i have achieved in my life time....

It is a wish, it is a big dream, i will work hard to achieve it but what will be will be, if God want it to be..

Fear of being broke is one fear I have too, how do one cope and cater for those around him or her.
Because of this I try to be hardworking as I can and be able to get all my needs to avoid being broke.

Exactly we just can’t stop working until we earn enough that we won’t need to work anymore

Tough time don’t last, it is ok to be down but giving up when down is what is termed failure, I believe in you that you are going to make it beyond your expectation …

Nothing in life is to be feared. It is only to be understood.

I will really appreciate the men out there because you guys are trying. You have a lot on your mind, taking care of the family and many more. It's not easy when you see a broke guy and I hope you get to make it in life.

Fear of being broke is one of the greatest fear of all time. I can't go broke, that's why I work tirelessly to pay for my needs and care for others and God has been doing it,I don't know how it happens most times but God truly comes in everyway.

Broke is not a good place indeed, only people that have been there will know just how terrible a place it is to be. But then, I also feel it is an important place to be at least once in a while, because when phase passes, we value that which we have and use it more wisely. We also get to know those who are our true friends.
Thank you for sharing this with us.

Financial brokenness is one thing. To be emotionally broken is another. Experiencing both, I am still looking for someone I know who survives.

My greatest fear as a man is to be betrayed by the person I love the most. When such a thing happens, a person who survives such betrayal will be fearless.

There is usually something valuable to be learned from losing. You learned from that race with your brother that losing wasn't that terrible.
