About This Quote

Our lives would be very different if we were not afraid. The things we do, we do because we are afraid. We do not want to face life and its challenges and so we avoid them. We try to hide from the world and from ourselves.

If we were not afraid, we would be free to do what we want, when we want and in the way that is most beneficial to us. We would live our lives as we wished, with no judgment or criticism from others, with no fear of failure or rejection, with no need for the approval of others. Instead of hiding from our fears, we should embrace them and turn them into strengths.
