Bill Board

I was driving in the countryside and noticed a billboard urging the motorist to live fearlessly. It occurred to me that that is impossible to do. We are always afraid, about something, to varying degrees. It would be better to accept that we are afraid while coping with our fearfulness, striving to overcome it. If we love ourselves, and esteem ourselves sufficiently, then we will impose our will on reality and on our internal perspective of things by transcending our fear so it cannot any longer incapacitate us. No longer will we be cowardly or inactive due to a frozen will. We will always be afraid, but we will no longer be paralyzed by our fear.
