Choosing Courage Rather Than Fear

"Where fear is, happiness is not."

Seneca



"Let us not pray to be sheltered from dangers but to be fearless when facing them."

Rabindranath Tagore



"The only thing we have to fear is fear itself."

Franklin D. Roosevelt


The world is not ending in 2012 or any other time soon. Our civilization is not disintegrating. History is composed of cycles within cycles. Some years are better than others, but across the ages life just goes on.

Individually, we do have our crises - mostly from unexpected directions, but so have all people from all ages.
We can choose to face life with courage or with fear, and this determines our choice for happiness or for emotional suffering.
