| Fear means I'm
in danger. Something's wrong. I must seek safety. |
Fear is pure
energy. It's a signal that could mean stop, or could mean go. |
| If
I stop what I'm doing, I'll be lost. I'll never start again. |
Sometimes
we have to stop in order to find our path. |
| I have to figure
it all out before I can do anything. |
We don't have
to believe that we can do it to
do it. Showing up, even with fear, has power. |
| If
I act on what I believe, conflict will break out. I'll be humiliated
and ineffective. |
Conflict
means engagement. Something is in motion. It's an opening, not a closing. |
| Our greatest
fears are our worst enemies. They hold us back. |
Our worst fears
can be our greatest teachers. |
| If I'm really
myself, I'll be excluded and alone forever. |
To find real
connection, we must risk disconnection. Our courage draws others toward
us. |
| I'm just a drop
in the bucket. My effort might make me feel better, but it won't help. |
Every time we
act, even with fear, we help others to do the same. Courage is contagious. |
