FEAR

"Fear = Face Everything And Respond"

Kerri Moon

Worrying is using your imagination

"Worrying is using your imagination to create something you don't want."

Abraham

Fear makes the wolf

"Fear makes the wolf bigger."

German Proverb

Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate

"Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate. Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure. It is our light, not our darkness, that most frightens us. We ask ourselves, who am I to be brilliant, gorgeous, talented, and fabulous? Actually, who are you not to be?

You are a child of God. Your playing small doesn't serve the world. There's nothing enlightened about shrinking so that other people won't feel insecure around you. We are all meant to shine, as children do. We are born to make manifest the glory of God that is within us.

It's not just in some of us, it's in everyone. And as we let our own light shine, we unconsciously give other people permission to do the same. As we are liberated from our own fear, our presence automatically liberates others."

Marianne Williamson (I have also seen this quote attributed to Nelson Mandela)

Look fear in the face

"You gain strength, courage and confidence by every experience in which you must stop and look fear in the face." 

Eleanor Roosevelt

Recall what you were worrying about one year ago

"If you want to test your memory, try to recall what you were worrying about one year ago today."

E. Joseph Cossman

Don't be afraid of opposition

“ Don't be afraid of opposition. Remember, a kite rises against, not with, the wind.”
Hamilton Mabie

Courage is like a muscle.

"Courage is like a muscle. The more we exercise it, the
stronger it gets."
John McCain, U.S. Senator

Of Monsters

"There are very few monsters who warrant the fear we have of them."

Andre Gide

Fear and the mind

"Fear is only as deep as the mind allows."
Japenese proverb
