• Accept the facts that there are many things we can’t control. This allows us to focus on what we can control.

• John C. Maxwell: I can control my attitude, but not others’ actions. I can control my calendar, but not others’

circumstances. It’s not what happens to me, but what happens

in me.

Do not let what you cannot do interfere with what you can do.

• To be courageous, you have to focus only on today. Because it’s the only thing you

have any control over. Fear tries to make us look at all of our

problems at once: those from yesterday, today, and tomorrow.


• Fear tends to breed more fear, courage leads to more courage. The more we face our fears, the more capable

we begin to feel, and the more fears we are willing to face.

stop to look fear in the face. Eleanor Roosevelt


• No amount of thinking can overcome the fear. In fact, the more we think in those

situations, the more fearful we become.

• The only solution is action.

When thinking won’t cure fear, action will. W. Clement Stone
