Fear cannot be banished, but it can be calm and without panic; it can be mitigated by reason and evaluation.

About This Quote

Fear can be a very real, powerful thing. However, it doesn’t have to control your life. When you’re in fear, use your imagination to see things from the other person’s point of view. Try projecting yourself into their shoes and imagine how they must be feeling. You may not be able to change what they are experiencing, but if you work with them, you can help them come up with strategies that will allow them to escape fear.
