Teaching ourselves

"We were born to be fearless."

"We do not inherit fear from our ancestors. It is not an instinctive reaction, nor is it necesary for survival. Caution, yes; recognition of potential danger, yes; but not fear. We have to be taught how to be afraid."

"It doesn't matter if we have self-doubt, or painful memories, or fear of anything whatsoever. We learned how to act one way; we can teach ourselves how to act differently. Self-doubt can be erased by teaching ourselves - over and over and over again - to trust in ourselves and/or in a higher power."

"To trust, not that nothing bad will ever happen, but that whatever happens we will be able to cope, and that more good things will happen than bad. How do we know? We don't. The future is never fixed, but now is the moment of power. What we do and how we think in the present moment may not control the future, but it has more influence on the future than anything else. There is no fear without self-doubt. Self-doubt begins with a decision. It can end with a decision, too."
