"There is no better than adversity," Malcolm X would say. "Every defeat, every heartbreak, every loss, contains its own seed, its own lesson on how to improve your performance the next time."
When fear is defined, it can be defeated. When downside is articulated, it can be weighed against upside. When the wolves are counted, there are fewer of them.
Who does good work when they are afraid? Who can see clearly when they're afraid? Who can help others? How can you love when you're afraid? How can you do anything when you're afraid?
