“The Stoic tells himself that although the situation may appear frightening, the truly important thing in life is how he chooses to respond.” – Donald Robertson
Are you going to run away? Or are you going to make a stand. Would you rather be fearful and full of regret or courageous?
It doesn’t matter how you feel. Everyone feels fear, pain, and suffering at some point. It’s how you react to it that defines you.
Do you want to be known as someone who challenges his/her fears, who steps up when things get tough? Or would you rather others view you as mentally or physically weak?
