Each day take a little risk to expand your comfort zone. Phone someone you feel intimidated about calling. Walk proudly into a restaurant where you are uncomfortable dining alone. Not to worry ...you'll handle whatever happens.

Feel the fear and do it anyway.

[ruebookreview]

"All you have to do to diminish your fear is to develop more trust in your ability to handle whatever comes your way."

This quote hits home for me because I’ve often let fear take over when I didn’t feel ready or capable. It’s a reminder that the way forward isn’t to avoid tough situations but to trust myself more. When I focus on my ability to adapt and overcome, fear loses its grip, and I feel a sense of calm, even when life is unpredictable.

"The secret to handling fear is to move yourself from a position of pain to a position of power."

I’ve felt stuck in fear before, like it was holding me hostage. This quote encourages me to step back, acknowledge what I’m afraid of, and then take a small action to shift my mindset. It’s about reminding myself that I have the power to change how I respond to fear. Whenever I do this, I feel a weight lift, like I’ve reclaimed control over my life.

"Underlying all our fears is a lack of trust in ourselves."

This one feels deeply personal because, if I’m honest, most of my fears boil down to doubting myself. I’ve realized that when I believe in my ability to handle things, the fear feels smaller. It’s not easy, but building self-trust has helped me face challenges with more confidence and less hesitation.

"YOU’RE NOT A FAILURE IF YOU DON’T MAKE IT; YOU’RE A SUCCESS BECAUSE YOU TRY."

This quote is like a breath of fresh air for me. I’ve always been scared of failing, but reframing success as the act of trying is empowering. It reminds me to celebrate my efforts rather than obsess over the outcome. Every time I step out of my comfort zone, I’m succeeding, even if it doesn’t go perfectly.

"Everything can be taken away from a man but one thing: the last of the human freedoms—to choose one’s attitude in any given set of circumstances, to choose one’s way."

This one stays with me because it reminds me that no matter what happens, I always have a choice in how I respond. There have been times when life felt out of control, but shifting my perspective has given me a sense of strength and peace. It’s not always easy, but knowing that my mindset is mine to control has helped me face challenges with resilience.

"Whose woods these are, I think I know.

His house is in the village though;

He will not see me stopping here

to watch his woods fill up with snow.

My little horse must think it queer

to stop without a farmhouse near.

Between the woods and frozen lake,

the darkest evening of the year.

He gives his harness bells a shake

to ask if there is some mistake.

The only other sound’s the sweep

of easy wind and downy flake.

The woods are lovely, dark and deep,

but I have promises to keep,

and miles to go before I sleep,

and miles to go before I sleep."

Robert Frost, Stopping By Woods On A Snowy Evening

Even if things are not going the way I want them to go, I will simply trust that all things happen for a reason and I will learn and grow from it all.
