Perpetual Fear
When we are afraid of something, we tend to put it off.
Putting it off comforts us because it “might be” less scary later. So the fear grows and torments our mind. It rarely goes away but instead expands.
Side stepping, deferring, or wishing it away validates the fear in our minds and makes it more scary.
The brave and successful thing to do is take action...because action is the best cure.
