in me.

• To be courageous, you have to focus only on today. Because it’s the only thing you
have any control over. Fear tries to make us look at all of our
problems at once: those from yesterday, today, and tomorrow.

• Fear tends to breed more fear, courage leads to more courage. The more we face our fears, the more capable
we begin to feel, and the more fears we are willing to face.
You gain strength, courage and confidence by every experience in which you really
stop to look fear in the face. Eleanor Roosevelt

situations, the more fearful we become.
