"Many times, there are things we fear. Many of our fears are based on unwillingness to change. Conquering fear is never an easy thing, but attainable if we are willing to work it through.

... the way to overcome your fears is to face them. As you dwell among them, learn more about them. As you learn more about them, you may find that they are predictable, controllable or at least bearable. As you learn, your mindset will change and fear may go by the wayside.

Remember the words of the Master Jedi Yoda, “Fear is the path to the dark side. Anger leads to fear, fear leads to hate. Hate leads to suffering.”

By facing your fear you can overcome it. By overcoming it you will open yourself wider, earn more respect and show others how to do the same."

"The mental attitude of Heihō is not different than that of the everyday attitude. In both peaceful times and in times of battle, it is the same. Be careful to ascertain the truth from a broad viewpoint. Do not become tense and do not let yourself go. Keep your mind on the center and do not waver. Calm your mind, and do not cease the firmness for even a second. Always maintain a fluid and flexible, free and open mind".
