Try to measure up. We can all edure disaster and tragedy, and triumph over them - if we have to. We may not think we can, but we have surprisingly strong inner resources that will see us through if we will only make use of them. We are stronger than we think When you're afraid, keep your mind on what you have to do. And if you have been thoroughly prepared, you will not be afraid.
All life is a chance.
The man who goes furtherest is generally the one who is willing to do and dare. If you want to develop courage, do the thing you fear to do and keep on doing it until you get a record of successful experiences behind you. That is the quickest and surest way ever yet discovered to conquer fear. The next time you are appalled by some task, sail into it, accomplish the impossible. Inaction breeds doubt and fear.
