‘In life there are two kinds of people: those who run from their fears, and those who overcome them. Fear is like a coward. If you back away it becomes a fearsome bully who will beat you into the ground. Face him and he shrinks to a tiny noise insect.‘
– Keeva’s Uncle, to Keeva Taliana, Hero in the Shadows
I like this: good to remember when very scared! It reminds me of the Buddha’s teaching that ‘all fear comes from a mind that is untamed’.
