“Fear makes us afraid of doing something that might be beneficial for us. Taking action will require us to move into the unknown. That can be scary. But if we give in to our fear, we don’t move forward. We don’t receive the benefit of what we avoided, nor do we gain the valuable experience that would make us better informed. As a result, we remain ignorant about that area of life, and ignorance almost always breeds more fear, making it that much harder to push ahead and get things done. We cannot allow fear to paralyze us. As John F. Kennedy observed, “There are risks and costs to a program of action, but they are far less than the long-range risks and costs of comfortable inaction.” If we are too afraid of failure, we probably will never win. If we are afraid to die, we will hardly live. Everything in life has some degree of risk.” Excerpt From: John C. Maxwell. “The Difference Maker.” Thomas Nelson, 2010-09-08. iBooks.
