being afraid is actually a good thing because when managed, fear can be used to catapult us to a higher level. for instance, if today you were told you only had 6 months to live unless you lost weight, went on a diet and did regular exercises, would you need anyone to push you to do any of these things? i’m sure you’d be up before dawn to run a marathon, then back to make healthy meals for yourself. junk food would never see the inside of your stomach and if necessary, you’d probably be fighting for greens with rabbits.
