On being fearless



I will not live my life out of fear.

Fear is the mind killer*.

Instead I will rise every day with a loving heart and the knowledge that it doesn't matter how much my legs are shaking, I will keep making my way down the path I believe will bring me happiness. At its end there isn't a pot of gold; there is my better self, and that is an infinitely better reward.

It doesn't matter how long the path is, or how unfit I am to tread it. All I need is to carry on my quest for today and trust that tomorrow - whatever it brings - the journey will be slightly smaller and my legs will have grown a bit stronger.


*Frank Herbert, Dune
