Face life
Fear is often much more destructive than that which is
feared. Anxiety can often be far more harmful than those
things about which you are anxious.
Avoiding effort can be more difficult and time-consuming
than the effort itself. Worrying about a negative situation
is usually more prolonged and painful than experiencing the
situation itself.
Life is best when you face it directly. Your efforts are far
more effective when they don't have to push through layers
of denial, avoidance and anxiety.
When something must be said, stand up and say it. When
something needs to be done, get busy and do it.
It can be tempting to put tasks off until later, or to think
that problems will just go away, or to hope that some
magical occurrence will fulfill your desires. Yet the truth
is that the real fulfillment in life comes from putting all
of yourself into the living of it.
So go ahead and face that fear, make that effort, move
forward into new territory and fully live the grand
possibilities with which you're blessed. Boldly face life,
and you'll find it to be better than you ever imagined.
