Dear Cowardice

Here are some quotes about fear; food for thought if you will:

"Many of us crucify ourselves between two thieves - regret for the past and fear of the future."

"Each time we face our fear, we gain strength, courage, and confidence in the doing."

“Confidence comes not from always being right but from not fearing to be wrong."

"Courage is resistance to fear, mastery of fear - not absence of fear.”

“Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate. Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure. It is our light, not our darkness, that most frightens us. We ask ourselves, who am I to be brilliant, gorgeous, talented, and fabulous? Actually, who are you not to be? You are a child of God. Your playing small doesn't serve the world. There's nothing enlightened about shrinking so that other people won't feel insecure around you. We are all meant to shine, as children do. We are born to make manifest the glory of God that is within us. It's not just in some of us, it's in everyone. And as we let our own light shine, we unconsciously give other people permission to do the same. As we are liberated from our own fear, our presence automatically liberates others."

"Nothing in life is to be feared. It is only to be understood.”

"Ultimately we know deeply that the other side of every fear is freedom.”

"Fear is the thought of admitted inferiority.”

“Inaction breeds doubt and fear. Action breeds confidence and courage. If you want to conquer fear, do not sit home and think about it. Go out and get busy.”

“Fear has a large shadow, but he himself is small.”
