Turn what you fear into something you can conquer and conquer it, what we conquer is nothing to fear.
Rika’s Thoughts:
Like Roosevelt’s famous quote “We have nothing to fear except fear itself” this quote is basically on the road to not having anything to fear. By making up our minds to not fear something, we can overcome it and enjoy life without that fear. That particular fear will always be present, but by not acknowledging it, we can live our lives more happily. That is what we strive for, correct? Happiness? And if fear is our enemy, why wouldn’t we want to conquer it?
Now this also applies to extreme phobias; even though those are often times more extreme, they still can be conquered, and without willpower they will not be conquered. Everything begins with will.
Poor Rika, she’s stuck quoting dead presidents. (Who cares about long gone politicians anyways? It’s not like THEY did anything except mess everything up)
Me, on the other hand, am quoting important people that are cool. (AKA rock stars)
“Shut up!” -Every Rock Star on the planet.
(enter sarcasm) That was a deep quote.
Yeah. So dead politicians DO say all the good quotes. Them and philosophers.
“The pen may be mighty, but nuclear weapons are far mightier.” -Calister F. Wells
I have a question for Socrates: What if what you fear is to big to conquer on your own? Then could you have people aid you and conquer it together? Or would that be a cheap way out?
He’s not Dr. Phil, guys. Come on.
Dr. Phil is a philosopher? Since when! I didn’t get that memo…
He’s not, and neither is Socrates. Well, Socrates is, but not SOCRATES.
That made about as much sense as an environmentalist distributing 600 page pamphlets on saving the trees.
Or communism.
There isn’t enough to write about the e nvironment to need 600 pages
When did Dr. Phil come in?
Im not Dr. Phil!
Well that’s good because Oprah’s way better
