Fear
One of the favorite tattoos that I have on my body says, “ fear is the thief of dreams”. And I have always deeply believed that. Another good quote is from one of my favorite science fiction series Dune, “ fear is the mind killer”.
When we get caught up in fear, when we allow our anxieties to take over, they begin to dictate our future. We can feel paralyzed by these fears, unable to make moves in the directions that we’re trying to go. A great way to combat these fears is to first, recognize them. Give them a little space to be seen and heard so that you can rationally move past them.
Another thing to remember when dealing with those fears, is to remember that courage is not the absence of fear. To courageously trudge forward means to keep putting 1 foot in front of the other, even when you are afraid.
At the retreat you had a book named Anger (I think). Who is the author? What was the other book?
