On Fear and Resilience
For some people, fear is constricting and can even be paralyzing. For others, fear can be energizing and can serve as a catalyst for growth. Whether we allow fear to diminish us or we find a way to enlist it as an ally, it has an enormous impact on how we conduct our lives.
We have to face our fears as boldly as we can in order to become resilient or more resilient.
