How does fear become so powerful? We can’t see it. We can’t touch it, yet it gets its claws in us and begins to control us. Sigh. I hate feeling afraid, and I hate, hate, HATE feeling out of control.

About This Quote

Fear is one of the strongest feelings that can control us. It’s like a monster that gets its claws into you, and will not ever let go. It is very difficult to overcome fear, but if you can manage to do so then you will be able to overcome many of the problems in your life. The only way you can conquer fear is through our actions.

Fear grows by itself; it feeds on itself. If you don’t act on something, then there is no reason for it to become more powerful.
