Scratch the surface of any dysfunction and you will hit fear. So if we’re in enough pain due to our dysfunction we need to move beyond it despite the fear we feel. I’m not sure we understand how critically important this is. How withstanding the fear is critical to the life we lead. I love this quote by Eleanor Roosevelt:
“Courage is more exhilarating than fear and in the long run it is easier. We do not have to become heroes overnight. Just a step at a time, meeting each thing that comes up, seeing it is not as dreadful as it appeared, discovering we have the strength to stare it down.”
