“The fear is simply because you are not living with life, you are living in your mind.”
— Sadhguru
Simplified Meaning:
When a person feels afraid, it often comes from thinking too much about the future or past rather than focusing on what is happening right now. For example, imagine you are about to give a speech. You might start to feel scared because you imagine all kinds of bad things happening, like forgetting your words or people laughing at you. But if you focus on the present moment—your breathing, the words you have prepared, and the friendly faces in the audience—you feel calmer and more in control. Living in the moment helps reduce fear because most of the time, the present is not as frightening as we imagine. If you spend less time worrying about "what ifs" and more time paying attention to what is really happening, you feel more peaceful. This approach can be applied to any situation—from daily challenges to big life changes—by training your mind to stay focused on now rather than drifting into anxious thoughts. Practicing mindfulness, which means paying attention to the current moment without judgment, can help achieve this state.
