Quotes to ponder:

“Fear is your mind at its dumbest; it exaggerates dangers, distorts facts, and convinces you that retreat is the only safe option.”

“Most of what we fear in life isn’t lethal, it’s discomfort, embarrassment, or temporary failure.”

“Courage is not the absence of fear but the ability to disregard its bad advice.”
