Fear can corrode a soul – can halt growth – can cause unnecessary pain and suffering – can keep us from living our heart’s secret desires. Feel the Fear and do it Anyway is a great book by Susan Jeffers I read many years ago. Susan writes:
“The only way to get rid of the fear of doing something is to go out and do it.
We can’t escape fear. We can only transform it into a companion that accompanies us in all our exciting adventures; it is not an anchor holding us transfixed to one spot.
As far as I know, everyone feels fear as he or she moves forward through life. It is absolutely possible that there are some evolved souls in this world who never experience fear, but I have not met them…At the bottom of every one of your fears is simply the fear that you can’t handle whatever life may bring you.”
The truth is:
If you knew you could handle anything that came your way, what would you have to fear?
The answer is: NOTHING!
Great quotes – great read – I highly recommend it!
