“Fear is your ally, not your enemy. When you feel fear, it is only a sensation, a reminder that you must think before proceeding. Fear is an indicator of what could go wrong if you do not have a plan, but remember,fear is not always correct, it is only a thought, a path, like the roots of a tree branching to different dimensions.
