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.
When one has the feeling of dislike for evil, when one feels tranquil, one finds pleasure in listening to good teachings; when one has these feelings and appreciates them, one is free of fear.
Fear does not have any special power unless you empower it by submitting to it.
When you face your fear, most of the time you will discover that it was not really such a big threat after all. We all need some form of deeply rooted, powerful motivation—it empowers us to overcome obstacles so we can live our dreams.
People are only mean when they’re threatened, and that’s what our culture does. That’s what our economy does.
People get so in the habit of worry that if you save them from drowning and put them on a bank to dry in the sun with hot chocolate and muffins they wonder whether they are catching cold.
“If you can’t sleep, then get up and do something instead of lying there worrying. It’s the worry that gets you, not the lack of sleep.”
You cannot make yourself feel something you do not feel, but you can make yourself do right in spite of your feelings.
“Feelings are not supposed to be logical. Dangerous is the man who has rationalized his emotions.”
