I'm an optimist, but I'm an optimist that carries a raincoat. You must challenge fear and ask what it means to say. As you go into the fear with eyes open, heart open and courage flowing freely, you will see that fear is only an empty room. Fear is only as strong as your avoidance of it. The greater your reluctance to see the fear, to accept it and embrace it, the more power you will allow it.
Fear is the unknown.
It is the imagination. It is not reality. There is nothing to fear in the universe. It is not a matter of destroying fear but of knowing its nature and of seeing it as a less powerful force than the power of love. Fear is a trick, a sham, a sleight of hand.
