fear is said to be a state of mind but then if its in our minds why can't we over come it! after our mind is supposed to be under our control then why is fear taking over our lives and affecting us!

Fear is all about your mind, and usually it comes from not knowing the outcome or from a bad experience. All fear can be overcome, however, it is very hard for most people due to the fact that it comes from a very bad personal experience in the past or seeing a very bad experience in person or on TV. Its all in the mind!

fear therefore is put into the mind byother sources also and even though there nothing to fear our perception creates fear in our minds.
