I notice a lot of the times I do well and I don't panic is when I realize that I have two options: panic or no panic, win or lose, victory or failure, and that I'm okay with each of them. I'm not saying that I'm a particuarly brave person by any means, (in fact quite the opposite) but what we are doing with anxiety and panic is facing our fears. It's just that what we fear happens to be things we face much more often and much more easily than what everyone else fears. We may not be mountian climbers, snake handlers, bungee jumpers, skydivers, or Indiana Jones (props to you if you are! :D) but we've experienced the same feelings, maybe even every single day, and are just as brave as the hardiest adventurer. :yesyes:
So here are some quotes that have either helped me or that I really like:
Courage is not the absence of fear, but rather the judgement that something else is more important than fear.--Ambrose Redmoon
The fearless are merely fearless. People who act in spite of their fear are truly brave. -- James A. Lafond-Lewis
I wanted you to see what real courage is, instead of getting the idea that courage is a man with a gun in his hand. It's when you know you're licked before you begin but you begin anyway and you see it through no matter what. -- Harper Lee, To Kill A Mockingbird
Courage is a perfect sensibility of the measure of danger, and a mental willingness to endure it. -- Gen William Tecumseh Sherman
Nothing in life is to be feared, it is only to be understood. Now is the time to understand more, so that we may fear less. --Marie Curie
The psychological condition of fear is divorced from any concrete and true immediate danger. It comes in many forms: unease, worry, anxiety, nervousness, tension, dread, phobia, and so on. This kind of psychological fear is always of something that might happen, not of something that is happening now. --Elkhart Tolle
When you face your fear, most of the time you will discover that it was not really such a big threat after all. We all need some form of deeply rooted, powerful motivation -- it empowers us to overcome obstacles so we can live our dreams. --Les Brown
Do the thing you fear to do and keep on doing it... that is the quickest and surest way ever yet discovered to conquer fear. --Dale Carnegie
And the best one:
Feel the fear and do it anyway.--Susan Jeffers
