The Fear Worth Carrying
Choose the fear whose burden enlarges your character.

Fear is not always a command to retreat. At times it is the weight attached to something worthy: a truth, a responsibility, a larger field of action.
The useful question is not whether fear is present. Ask what waits on the other side of obedience to it. Then ask what waits on the other side of courage.
Choose the fear whose burden enlarges your character, not the one that keeps your world conveniently small.
