Fear is the little-death that brings total obliteration.
I will face my fear.
I will permit it to pass over me and through me.
And when it has gone past I will turn the inner eye to see its path.
Where the fear has gone there will be nothing.
Only I will remain.
-Frank Herbert
There is nothing to fear but fear itself. fear is but a mortal emotion that weakens the resolve and wanes ones composure. It is nothing. All that need be done is to face it.
To say I do not fear is hypocrisy, but my fears (most of them at least) I have learned to face. For example, I used to be afraid of people so I joined ASIL and later ALFG (Both of which train people for public speaking). Fear still tugs at my heart everytime I am made to stand before the crowd to deliver some new jibber-jabber but I know deep down that I have conquered this fear. I know that so long as my head is clear it can not take hold of me.
Your fears are justified, our foes are amongst the best in the country. With the exception of an arrogant few the others will be sending the best they have. I dare not claim to be the best but we were chosen, hinirang tayo that my dear must count for something.
My advice to you and myself is to give it everything we have. So long as we have done our best, I will regret not the result
Fear will only make you apprehensive, fear is infectious, fear is nothing but a figment of the imagination. Let us allow fear to pass through us and over us. and when it has past only we will remain.
