When we are afraid we ought not to occupy ourselves with endeavoring to prove that there is no danger, but in strengthening ourselves to go on in spite of the danger.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
The sense of danger is never, perhaps, so fully apprehended as when the danger has been overcome.
Anything that we do to make ourselves feel worthy and safe is a flight from the pain of powerlessness. Every pursuit of external power - every attempt to change the world or a person in order to make yourself feel valuable and safe - is a distraction from the pain of powerlessness.
My motto is: feel the fear and do it anyway.
When fear makes your choices for you, no security measures on earth will keep the things you dread from finding you. But if you can avoid avoidance - if you can choose to embrace experiences out of passion, enthusiasm, and a readiness to feel whatever arises - then nothing, nothing in all this dangerous world, can keep you from being safe.
Nothing in life is to be feared, it is only to be understood. Now is the time to understand more, so that we may fear less.
If you let your fear of consequence prevent you from following your deepest instinct, your life will be safe, expedient and thin.
In this world there is always danger for those who are afraid of it.
Danger is ever-present in life, more for some than others.
To overcome a fear, here's all you have to do: realize the fear is there, and do the action you fear anyway.
Fear is the foundation of safety.
