Nadia ComaneciI don't run away from a challenge because I am afraid. Instead, I run towards it because the only way to escape fear is to trample it beneath your foot
About This Quote
When someone is afraid of something, they feel helpless and hopeless. They have been beaten down by the fear and have no idea what to do next. They have lost all hope that they can overcome whatever it is that scares them. In a way, that person has accepted defeat before the fight even begins.
Fear is a powerful opponent, but it can be defeated if you know how to fight back. The best way to get past fear is to confront it head on.
