"No rule is perfect, but this one works: **Our fears point us, like a self-indicting arrow, in the direction of the right thing to do**. One part of us knows what we ought to do, but the other part reminds us of the inevitable consequences. **Fear alerts us to danger, but also to opportunity. If it wasn’t scary, everyone would do it.** If it was easy, there wouldn’t be any growth in it. That tinge of self-preservation is the pinging of the metal detector going off. We may have found something." --- **Tags** -- [[quotes]], [[obstacle-is-the-way]], [[fear]], [[anxiety]], [[courage]], [[self-reflection]], [[mindfulness]] **Source** -- [[202409180128 - B - Courage is Calling]]
