For this I will take conscious effort to get involved in those events which will enable me to face this fear again and again until it subsides.

I feel people would not respond well to my idea and venture – Why not. Is health not important to people. Is fitness not needed in people’s lives. Are all people ignorant of the importance of healthy lifestyle. Why do you just assume and imagine that people might not respond well to something that is so valuable in their lives.

It is a noble thought and mission to provide healthy lifestyle options to people.
