1 " Pushing through fear is less frightening than living with the fear which comes from the feeling of helplessness. "
― Susan Jeffers
2 " For some reason we feel we should be perfect, and forget that we learn through our mistakes. Our need to be perfect and our need to control the outcome of events work together to keep us petrified when we think about making a change or attempting a new challenge. "
― Susan Jeffers , Feel the Fear and Do It Anyway
3 " Our intuition is always operating for us. "
4 " Security is not having things, it’s handling things. "
5 " WHEN WE GIVE FROM A PLACE OF LOVE,RATHER THAN FROM A PLACE OF EXPECTATION, MORE USUALLY COMES BACK TO US THAN WE COULD HAVE EVER IMAGINED. "
6 " We can’t escape fear. "
7 " SAY YES TO YOUR UNIVERSE. "
8 " The term “universe” refers to that life plan that seems to take over despite what we have in mind— that “force” operating, seemingly on its own, that often interferes with our picture of how we would like things to be. It refers to a certain flow in our lives and the lives of others over which we have little or no control. "
9 " IN SAYING “YES” LIES THE ANTIDOTE TO OUR FEAR. "
10 " The phrase “say yes” means “to agree to” those things that life hands us. Saying yes means letting go of resistance and letting in the possibilities that our universe offers in new ways of seeing the world. It means to relax bodily and calmly survey the situation, thereby reducing upset and anxiety. Aside from the emotional benefits, the physical benefits are enormous. "
11 " ACKNOWLEDGMENT OF PAIN IS VERY IMPORTANT; DENIAL IS DEADLY. "
12 " Finding out what you don’t like is, paradoxically, as valuable as finding out what you do like. "
13 " THE KNOWLEDGE THAT YOU CAN HANDLE ANYTHING THAT COMES YOUR WAY IS THE KEY TO ALLOWING YOURSELF TO TAKE HEALTHY, LIFE-AFFIRMING RISKS. "
14 " WHY CHOOSE TO BE RIGHT INSTEAD OF HAPPY WHEN THERE IS NO WAY TO BE RIGHT? "
15 " ... things such as losing a job, the death of a loved one, divorce, bankruptcy, illness. Once you have handled any of those things, you emerge a much stronger person. "
16 " Each time we confront some intense difficulty, we know there is something we haven’t learned yet, and the universe is now giving us the opportunity to learn. "
17 " ... life is an ongoing process of learning. "
18 " Nothing is as satisfying as those moments of breakthrough when you discover something about yourself and the universe that adds another piece to the jigsaw puzzle. The joy of discovery is delicious. "
19 " Trust your feelings. If the path you’re on isn’t providing you joy, satisfaction, creativity, love, and caring, that’s not it. "
20 " The Path is much like the experience of climbing a mountain. The climb is tough. But each time you stop to look around, the view becomes more spectacular. "
