Hope Builds Bridges, FEAR BUILDS WALLS
“Fear builds walls.” To me this phrase means a lot of different things. For one, it means that if you walk around in your life being afraid of everything, then you are never going to achieve anything. You have to be willing to take a risk and try something new. It’s almost like that old phrase, “you are going to miss a hundred percent of the shots you do not take”. If you are not willing to take a risk then your life is going to be very boring. People can also take this phrase in a whole other direction. Some people might say that fear builds walls in relationships as well. If you are going to go into a relationship and expect not to take risks, then you have another thing coming. That’s all a relationship is: a big risk. You have no idea whether or not it is going to work. So, if you are afraid to take risks, there is going to be a MASSIVE wall in your life because you are not going to be able to have a normal relationship without worrying about it failing. Another thing that people take into consideration when reading this phrase is sports. If you have fear, then you are going to have some problems if you play physical sports like football or soccer. If you are afraid to get hit, then there is a wall in football and if you are afraid to go up in the air to fight for the ball, there is the wall in soccer. Fear can sometimes be a good thing, but nine times out of ten, it will only hurt you.
