I really feel like if you can get past your fear, if you can say, "uh-uh, i'm afraid to do that and i'm going to do it anyhow," that that's really the way to have a satisfying life moving forward. i think i had that kind of fearlessness even as a young person. it wasn't tempered by experience or wisdom, but it took me a long way.

More From Anna Quindlen

When you see anyone complaining of such and such a person's ill-nature and bad temper, know that the complainant is bad-tempered, forasmuch as he speaks ill of that bad-tempered person, because he alone is good-tempered who is quietly forbearing towards the bad-tempered and ill-natured.
Complaining Speak Temper
We fear the past, present and future. we fear the unknown, we fear not having enough, losing what we have, not having what we want. we fear what will become of us and those that we care for. we fear what others think of us and what they don't think of us. we fear, fear, fear and therefore we are controllable through the manipulation of all that we fear. the present war on terror is the war of fear. no fear, no control.
War Thinking Past
Fear keeps us rooted in the past. fear of the unknown, fear of abandonment, fear of rejection, fear of not having enough, fear of not being enough, fear of the future-all these fears and more keep us trapped, repeating the same old patterns and making the same choices over and over again. fear prevents us from moving outside the comfort-or even the familiar discomfort-of what we know. it's nearly impossible to achieve our highest vision for our lives as long as we are being guided by our fears.
Fear Moving Past
