Am I getting braver, or just getting accustomed to being terrified?

Randy Alcorn
About This Quote

When you're afraid of the thing that you're afraid of, you're doing something right. When you're being scared of something, but also being brave about it, that's when you've reached the pinnacle of bravery. Of course, there's a big difference between being braver and being afraid. A brave person knows their fears and doesn't let them weigh him down. An afraid person is worried about everything and doesn't have control over their own life.
