Don't Let The Fear Of Being Hurt Stop You From Action You Know Is Right For You

• Be laughed at
• Be ridiculed
• Be sneered at
• Be derided
• Be insulted
• Be pushed, shoved, tripped, and stabbed
• Be punched in the face, the stomach, the kidneys
• Be stepped on
• Be spit on
• Be kicked when you're already down

Don't let fear of being hurt stop you from doing what you feel is right, what you feel you need to do.
Much, much easier said than done of course.

----

Don't let the fear of suffering stop you from action.

Expose yourself to painful situations if doing so is part of the path to doing what calls to you.

----

You want to suffer.
You want to do your best, but still fail, and find that other people take advantage of your weakness to trample you and show you up.
You want that.
You gain strength from having been true to yourself, your convictions,
and despite the fact that you were true to yourself, that you acted in accord with what you felt was right, you still were beaten down for it.

Once you recover from the wounds of insult and injury,
you will become stronger, to compensate for the pain done to you.

It's not simple.
It's not straightforward.
This isn't a hard and fast rule,
but,
when you act, being true to yourself, and still suffer because of it...
when you have recovered, you will be stronger.
