To overcome fear, regardless of whether there is a real threat, it is essential to face the emotion and open your heart. By doing so, we elevate ourselves and tap into our inner strength. Reason, clarity, courage, and compassion naturally emerge. Conversely, running away only amplifies feelings of helplessness and fear.
Fear does not disappear simply through firm determination. Nor is it resolved by fleeing. When we transform the energy of fear into courage, even actual threats begin to fade. Fear and courage are made of the same energy—they simply move in different directions.
