What this means is: Rather than succumbing to fear, rise to meet it. It is valid to feel fear, but it can hinder us from doing what we want. Fear can make some persuasive, albeit unsound, arguments for why you are unable to achieve what you want. However, you can overcome your fear of taking the first step by analyzing these thought patterns and identifying logical actions to take.
