About This Quote

Sometimes, said Miss Phillips, "the thing you dread doing the very thing you should do, just so you can stop thinking about it." This is one of the most profound quotes on believing in your dreams. There are times when we are so afraid of failing that we do not try at all. But there are other times when we are so afraid of succeeding that we give up before we even begin. But, remember that the important thing is not to try and fail.

The important thing is to keep on trying until you succeed. Remembering that some things really do matter will help you to stop dreading them.
