Whatever happens, I'll handle it.

The knowledge that you can handle anything that comes your way is the key to allowing yourself to take risks. ... security is not having things; it's handling things.

We cannot escape fear. We can only transform it into a companion that accompanies us on all our exciting adventures.

I said to myself: 'You mean all those people out there that I've been envying because they're not afraid to move ahead with their lives have really been afraid? Why didn't somebody tell me!?' I guess I never asked.

There is an automatic assumption that negative is realistic and positive is unrealistic.

people who refuse to take risks live with a feeling of dread that is far more severe than what they would feel if they took the risks necessary to make them less helpless - only they don't know it!

Remember that underlying all our fears is a lack of trust in ourselves.
