Overcoming Fears

Just because we're afraid, it doesn't mean we're in danger.
Just because we're scared, it doesn't mean we're not smart enough or strong enough to overcome our fears.

If we can imagine all kinds of terrible things that can happen to us, we can equally also imagine overcoming every difficulty. Fear diminishes as we study our options, make plans and take action.

So, in truth, fear is nothing to fear.
It is just a promise of great personal achievement for those who wish to overcome it.
