Great quote! And I think it's totally true. I believe that the more you fear something, the more you draw to yourself the thing that you fear.
So if you fear business failure, for instance, you're more and more likely to fail because your thoughts and energy are directed towards failure.
I never considered the opposite truth in this quote though--that by demonstrating that you DON'T fear the failure-by taking action towards success--you dissolve that fear. Consequently, you dissolve the liklihood that you'll fail, too.
I know that probably sounds really new-agey and deep, especially for a Friday, but oh well!
"the secret to happiness is Freedom. The secret to freedom is Courage. Courage is the mastery of fear. Ultimately, on the other side of every Fear lies a freedom."
