Fear is stronger than love, remember that. Fear is stronger than love, all that love I gave didn't mean nothing when it came to fear.
Fear was my father, Father Fear. His look drained the stones.
Hopes are always accompanied by fears, and, in scientific research, the fears are liable to become dominant.
Fear is a far more dominant force in human behaviour than euphoria - I would never have expected that or given it a moment's thought before, but it shows up in the data in so many ways.
What happens with fear is that probability doesn't matter very much. That is, once I have raised the possibility that something terrible can happen to your child, even though the possibility is remote, you may find it very difficult to think of anything else. Emotion becomes dominant.
Once you slay one fear, you can conquer many fears.
Becoming fearless isn't the point. That's impossible. It's learning how to control your fear, and how to be free from it.
Was it not his Self, his small, fearful and proud Self, with which he had wrestled for so many years, but which had always conquered him again, which appeared each time again and again, which robbed him of happiness and filled him with fear?
At the heart of the matter is a battle between wish and fear. Fear generally proves stronger than a wish, but it leaves a taste of disappointment on the tongue.
We're hallucinating. And that's what this world is: a mass hallucination, where fear seems more real than love. Fear is an illusion. Our craziness, paranoia, anxiety and trauma are literally all imagined.
If you let fear take hold, if you let it own you, your life ceases to be your own.
Courage faces fear and thereby masters it. Cowardice represses fear and is thereby mastered by it.
I am fearful when I see people substituting fear for reason.
But human beings are like that, she thought. We've replaced nearly all our emotions with fear.
Fear owns me because I let it. Because I obsess over it, name it, raise it, and nurture it to become perfect. It is one of the few things in my life that I can control.
Recognize that it is natural and normal to fear rejection. The only thing wrong with it is if you allow the fear to dominate you so that it holds you back from fulfilling your potential in your business.
