Confront & Conquer:

• "It is better to conquer yourself than to win a thousand battles. Then the victory is yours. It cannot be taken from you, not by angels or by demons, heaven or hell." ~Buddha
• Every time you win, it diminishes the fear a little bit. You never really cancel the fear of losing; you keep challenging it. ~Arthur Ashe
• You can conquer almost any fear if you will only make up your mind to do so. For remember, fear doesn't exist anywhere except in the mind. ~Dale Carnegie
• Confront your fears, list them, get to know them, and only then will you be able to put them aside and move ahead. ~Jerry Gillies
• Inaction breeds doubt and fear. Action breeds confidence and courage. If you want to conquer fear, do not sit home and think about it. Go out and get busy. ~Dale Carnegie
