I have spoken thousands of times before audiences as large as 5000 and I hark back to that time when as a lad of 12 I actually preached a full fledged sermon in church.
My knees shook so badly I thought they would come lose from my legs…but I kept on speaking every chance I got…and my legs finally stopped shaking…and after many years one day I wasn’t nervous anymore.
I rid myself of this fear by acting as if I had rid myself of this fear…until it finally became a self-fulfilling prophecy. Patience. None of us get over a fear overnight.
Some
parts of a fear can linger for what seems forever. But if we cannot
completely rid ourselves of this emotional wound we can gain the ability
to live with it and be the better for the courage to do even that.
Don’t hold fear in your hands. Don’t give it that kind of respect. Push it away again and again and again…and again and again…never make it welcome… by default.
Fear is a bully. Remember that. Fear is a bully. And bullies lose their power when you ignore them or at least try to ignore them.
It was a Broadway musical written in 1978, the composer Jerry Herman. Here are his words.
May they serve as a reminder of the power of hope and trust in the face of fear and danger.
Hope "I'll
be here tomorrow, alive and well and thriving. I'll be here tomorrow,
it's simply called surviving. If before the dawn this fragile world
might crack, someone's got to try to put the pieces back.
So,
from beneath the rubble you'll hear a little voice say, 'Life is worth
the trouble, have you a better choice?' So let the skeptics say tonight
we're dead and gone, I'll be here tomorrow simply going on."

MANY OF THE IDEAS IN THIS BOOK FOR BETTER LIVING ARE GOOD FOR ANY AGE. This book is about dealing positively with the challenges of getting older and fosters the belief that “If we would have new knowledge, we must get a world of new questions.” (Susanne K. Langer)
Some quotes from the book. Keep both eyes on life, and not on the calendar.
Admit your age, but don’t admit to the fallacy that you have to act
like it. Saying, “I’m 39 and holding,” is more tragic than humorous
because it argues that age has no attributes.
“Be
like the farmer who, when asked what he was building, replied, “if I
can rent it, it’s a rustic cottage. If I can’t, it’s a cow shed.”
It’s called attitude
and it can make us prematurely old or longer young. For truly, things
aren’t just what they are, but rather how we choose to see them.”

A quote below from tomorrow’s ONE A DAY blog entitled THE TRIP “He
reached down and picked up the strange looking mechanism that kept
trying to roll away from his grasp. It was some kind of flying machine.
It
was still warm from having entered their 237 degree atmosphere. The
three suns in the sky seemed always to be doing battle with each other. “What is it?” his companion asked with the trace of what might have been called a smile of anticipation. “It is from earth.”
Both of them raised their eyebrow. “Have
you ever been to Earth? It is not the first. " They both knew lots
about earth. All those messages coming more and more and three of their
kind had visited, but never again.” …”
