Fear is a Wonderful Servant, but a Terrible Master

“Fear is a wonderful servant, but a terrible master.  Like pain, it can alert and advise you, but may also cloud or limit your life.  Fear appears in many disguises, such as: I’m not really interested in doing that; or I can’t, or why bother? You face fear every day – fear of failure; fear of rejection, even the fear of being yourself.  Your fears are not walls, but hurdles.  Courage is not the absence of fear, but the conquering of it.”
