Fearlessness is not the same as courage. Having courage means doing something despite the fear. Fearlessness is being without fear, an inner state arising from a complete knowing of your Self, knowing the truth about yourself down to the core. Until a real challenge tests the belief of being without fear you are unlikely to know how near to achieving this you are. An honest look at yourself should provide you with a good indication.
How close you are to being fearless does not matter. What counts is knowing yourself, having faith to be what you are and applying personal values in your life. When condsidering what actions you should take or which path you should follow, rather than look at what will happen if you fail look at the benefits of success and proceed in a positive optomistic manner. Looking forward to success breeds success. Looking forward to failure ensures failure. Know yourself and where you identify shortcomings, ask your committee why this should be so and what steps they would take to remedy the situation.
You have the choice of your own destiny do not waste this by passing it over to others and allowing them to make your decisions because of unfounded fears. |
