Run Toward Your Fear...

General George Patton said, "Fear kills more people than death." Death kills us but once, and we usually don't even know it. But fear kills us over and over again, subtly at times and brutally at others. But if we keep trying to avoid our fears, they will chase us down like persistent dogs. The worst thing we can do is close our eyes and pretend they don't exist. - quoted from "100 Ways to Motivate Yourself" by Steve Chandler.

Indeed, this is so true to me. In everyday life we always encounter our fear. When we want to try something new, we fear of failure. When we want to propose a new business plan, we fear of rejection. When we want to do something different, we fear of criticism. And there are times where we just keep quite when we meet new people, just because we fear of grammar error! heh... it happens to me before.

So, how do we deal with fear? RUN TOWARD IT~! Yep, you've got it right. Run toward your fear. The more you fear it, the more you have to run toward it. Do it! Get it done! Blurt it out! Sell it! Do what ever you want to do (as long as it does not hurt anyone or anything including you)! and see what happens. Most of the time, the result is uplifting. It'll open yourself to experience things you had never experience before. The more fear you face (manly), the greater you'll become.
