I must not fear.
Fear is the mind-killer.
Fear is the little-death that brings total obliteration.
I will face my fear.
I will permit it to pass over me and through me.
And when it has gone past I will turn the inner eye to see its path.
Where the fear has gone there will be nothing.
Only I will remain.
Dune, by Frank Herbert
Despite its truly nerdy source I really love the above quote.
As emotions Fear and its mustachioed-twin-brother Doubt don't seem dangerous. In fact, they seem quite the opposite - they really only crop up when your body is trying to keep you safe.
Fear and doubt may be sentries protecting you, but they are also the persistent voices that kill dreams through a thousand cuts. Your doubts will sabotage your career, your fears will prevent you from achieving greatness. If you let them.

Truer words never spoken.
And this comes from someone whose blog is self-described as "always happy to share against her better judgement."
I'm not saying living honestly inside your own skin will always feel great, but it will remind you that you are alive.
