"Fear confronted me, and I stood paralyzed. He seemed a formidable, abiding presence. Then a voice whispered, "Fear not. Fear not, I thought with desperate longing. Oh, how I wanted to heed those words-but how? Hour after hour, day after day, fear refused to budge while I remained paralyzed. And so I let him make my choices; what else could I do? Alas, he never once chose well for me."

"When I feel threatened, vulnerable, or insecure, whether it from simply walking into a room of unknown people, meeting someone for the first time, an unexpected or expected confrontation, or doing something new, I affirm in my mind (over and over): There is no danger, there is no threat. From there, the discomfort lessens and I become open for discovery and adventure."
