The Thing You Think You Cannot Do

You gain strength, courage and confidence by every experience in which you really stop to look fear in the face. You are able to say to yourself, ‘I have lived through this horror. I can take the next thing that comes along.’ You must do the thing you think you cannot do. ~ Eleanor Roosevelt

Looking fear in the face..
not an activity I would seek out.
But I understand the strengthening effect
of facing…and conquering what you fear.
I like the idea of “don’t just try —
do it!” You must do the thing you think you cannot do.
No wonder that generation is called the greatest.
Are you ready to face fear in the eye?
