Don’t fear fire, fear burning in it.

Don’t fear the dark, fear being lost in it.

Don’t fear the suffering, fear breaking in it.

What you encounter isn’t dangerous.

Not preparing yourself to fight for it is risky.

The danger is not in that fearful encounter as much as it is in going unprepared towards it.

The battle has a chance for you to win and even in the losing you still are a warrior.

But not facing the war or coming to the war without preparing for it makes the Battlefield a dangerous place for you.

Don’t fear the hard days.

Don’t fear the suffering.

Don’t fear pain.

They aren’t coming to destroy you.

They are coming to challenge you.

To change you.

They are not coming to damage you but to destroy the weak in you.

Prepare for the fight and you’ll see the Hero inside you emerge.
