★ SELF-MASTERY Tip 12: Fear Not ★

This is one of the single best responses to fear I have ever come across. Repeat it over and over and over:

"I must not fear. Fear is the mind-killer. Fear is the little-death that brings total obliteration. I will face my fear. I will permit it to pass over me and through me. And when it has gone past I will turn the inner eye to see its path. Where the fear has gone there will be nothing. Only I will remain."
—Bene Gessert litany against fear, from Frank Herbert's Dune
