It was high counsel that I once heard given to a young person, 'always do what you are afraid to do.'
Sentiment: POSITIVE
I've never been afraid of much, and like any normal kid, I liked to push the limits of what I could do.
I always tell my children, 'You have to face your fear. If not, it's like running from a dog that will bite you in the back.'
Just remember, you can do anything you set your mind to, but it takes action, perseverance, and facing your fears.
As a child, I thought, 'Once I am a grown-up, there will be no more fear, no more worries,' and it turns out that's not true.
I believe that anyone can conquer fear by doing the things he fears to do, provided he keeps doing them until he gets a record of successful experience behind him.
Always do what you are afraid to do.
I was in my thirteenth year when I heard a voice from God to help me govern my conduct. And the first time I was very much afraid.
My dad said, 'The thing that I was told that was really helpful was that I mustn't be afraid of the things I was afraid of when I was five years old'. The shock of his childhood had put him in this defensive crouch against the world, and he needed to know that he had a nice wife and kids and it wasn't the same any more.
Therapy can help you grow. Fears will just disappear.
Never take counsel of your fears.
