This insight from Paulo Coelho is on my bedroom wall; I need it there to remind myself (and my kids) of the simple message; it stays with me; it fortifies me again and again.

No fear doesn’t mean the absence of fear (at least for me), but rather saying “no” to fear as the overriding factor that determines one’s decisions and actions.

Feel the fear; acknowledge the feeling; and then find just a bit of courage, and go forward,

Go FORWARD.

Say no to fear, yes to progress,

GOOD.
