Courage is not the absence of fear, but rather the judgment that something else is more important than fear. To live in the world of creation-to get into it and stay in it–to frequent it and haunt it…to think intently and fruitfully, to woo combinations and inspirations into being by a depth and continuity of attention and meditation–this is the only thing. It makes absolutely no difference what people think of you. Where the fear has gone there will be nothing. And when it has gone past I will turn the inner eye to see its path. I will permit it to pass over me and through me. Fear is the little-death that brings total obliteration. “Fearless” is living in spite of those things that scare you to death. We must persistently and convincingly tell ourselves that the fear is here–with its gift of energy and heightened awareness–so we can do our best and learn the most in the new situation. To use fear as the friend it is, we must retrain and reprogram ourselves. I failed my way to success.~ Thomas EdisonĤ1. I was never afraid of failure, for I would sooner fail than not be among the best.
I suspect people of plotting to make me happy. Taking a new step, uttering a new word, is what people fear most. What would life be if we had no courage to attempt anything? ~ Vincent Van Goghģ5. You block your dream when you allow your fear to grow bigger than your faith. I’ve got more energy now than when I was younger because I know exactly what I want to do. If they see you are afraid of them…they are liable to spring upon you but if you look them squarely in the eye, they will slink out of sight. They are cowards but they will bluff you if they can. Panic at the thought of doing a thing is a challenge to do it. Many of our fears are tissue-paper-thin, and a single courageous step would carry us clear through them. He has not learned the lesson of life who does not every day surmount a fear.Ģ9. To let fear grab you by the tail and swing you around is another.Ģ8. A cheerful frame of mind, reinforced by relaxation… is the medicine that puts all ghosts of fear on the run. Feed your faith and your fears will starve to death. Fear is a darkroom where negatives develop. Whatever you want to do, do it now! There are only so many tomorrows. Then we might live to the limit, every minute of every day. Somebody should tell us…right at the start of our lives…that we are dying. Do the thing you fear to do and keep on doing it…that is the quickest and surest way ever yet discovered to conquer fear. Thinking will not overcome fear but action will. For remember, fear doesn’t exist anywhere except in the mind. You can conquer almost any fear if you will only make up your mind to do so. To be a star, you must shine your own light, follow your path, and don’t worry about the darkness, for that is when the stars shine brightest. If you want to conquer fear, do not sit home and think about it.
It’s the impetus to step up and strike. ~Arthur Asheġ6. Fear isn’t an excuse to come to a standstill. Confront your fears, list them, get to know them, and only then will you be able to put them aside and move ahead. Fear can keep us up all night long, but faith makes one fine pillow. But if you are ever to put fear behind you, you must walk straight through it. You can go over it, under it, or around it.
Because success is heavy, carries a responsibility with it, it is much easier to procrastinate and live on the ‘someday I’ll’ philosophy. People procrastinate because they are afraid of the success that they know will result if they move ahead now. Do what you fear most and you control fear. You can eliminate all of these negative habits with two simple resolves,” I can! and I will!” ~ Unknownĩ. Fear is a habit, so is self-pity, defeat, anxiety, despair, hopelessness and resignation. Ultimately we know deeply that the other side of every fear is freedom. Fear is never a reason for quitting it is only an excuse ~ Norman Vincent PealeĦ. Do not let your fears choose your destiny. I have accepted fear as a part of life – specifically the fear of change … I have gone ahead despite the pounding in the heart that says: turn back. The first and great commandment is: Don’t let them scare you. Too many of us are not living our dreams because we are living our fears.
