“When you are closest to making a breakthrough in your personal growth, your fear throws up the greatest intensity. It will do whatever it can to deter you from moving ahead. If you succumb to its frightening and treacherous threats, pick yourself up and try again. If you forget what you are trying to do, try again. If you change your mind and head the other way, try again. With perseverance, your fear will exit the scene, and you will be standing in a new world.”
