Our existence is nothing short of miraculous

Tough times produce tough people

Who says they didn't get anxiety sweats?

People make more afraid than the wilderness as well. In the Wild everything will try to kill you. People are more complicated, but they will wait for you to give them a reason to kill you

less people = less stress

Bravery and stupidity are easily confused. It’s a misconception that the legends and great doers were somehow fearless paragons. Few were. Don’t let yourself believe that the men and women at the frontier, the pioneers and revolutionaries of history were stoic action movie cliches. You aren’t the only one who faces fear and anxiety- that’s what makes true bravery such a noble virtue. If you feel you have nothing to lose, if you don’t understand or care about the danger and consequences and pressures, it’s easy to do anything. That’s not noble, it’s simple. But for most people who face stress, anxiety, fear, self doubt, self consciousness- fighting every fiber of their being as it tells them to shut down or run, because they know that to be effective they must suppress those urges, that is true bravery. Heroes are around us every day. You may never slay the Medusa, but if making eye contact with the cashier is your Medusa and you slay it- that takes the same kind of bravery.

Conditioning

you a bitch
