For then we take the most precious thing inside us and surrender it to something else. In my case, that something was the wave."

The secret to freedom is to realize that you don’t have to believe your mind. You don’t have to believe your story. You don’t have to believe that voice in your head. You don’t have to believe your own thinking. You can simply observe it and say, “Thank you for sharing,” and then take the necessary action you’re scared to take anyway.

The best way to battle fear is with courage. You have to look at the opposite of fear: Fear is scared of courage.
