    experience in which you really stop to look fear in
    the face ... you must do the thing which you think you cannot do.

  • Do one thing every day that scares you.
    From Issue 164

    The process never ends until we die.
    And the choices we make are ultimately our responsibility.
  • Nobody can make you feel inferior without your permission.
  • We do not have to become heroes overnight.
    Just a step at a time, meeting each thing that comes up,
    seeing it is not as dreadful as it appeared,
    discovering we have the strength to stare it down.

    by every experience in which you
    really stop to look fear in the face.
