Fear

Use your fear. Harness it. Let them underestimate you. In the end, don't vanquish your critics — prove them wrong.

When the fear comes from a place of wanting to follow through with a passion, something you believe in — it's real good. If you aren't scared, be worried.

The real version of this was that I was heartbroken, and I was scared, and I had no idea if I was doing the right thing.

My fear of failure never approached in magnitude my fear of what if. What if I never tried at all?

The opposite of love isn't hate. It isn't even indifference. It's fear.

Fear is cheap. Fear is easy. Fear gets attention. Fear is spread as fast as gossip and is just as glamorous, juicy, and profitable. Fear twists facts into fictions that become indistinguishable from ignorance.

Remembering that you are going to die is the best way I know to avoid the trap of thinking you have something to lose. You are already naked. There is no reason not to follow your heart.

When we experience our fear, when we say the words 'I am scared,' we have the choice, the ability to acknowledge that being scared is not who we are. It is not our identity.

We need our fear in order to find our love. They go together.
