Pushing you in a positive direction

Let fear inform you, motivate you. But don’t let it control you.

The object of your fear does not align with your interests. Know it well, while also keeping your distance.

Fear will destroy you and everything you care about if you let it take up permanent residence. The fear itself becomes worse than what originally gave rise to it.

You are strong enough to benefit from your fears without letting them take you over. Use that strength and it grows even stronger.

Look closely at what you fear, learn deeply, draw energy from it. Then transform that energy, set your own path, and go your own way.

Fear is a powerful gift as long as you don’t let it become who you are. Do the difficult work to get each fear pushing you in a positive direction.

— Ralph Marston
