About this Quote

This quote by Rainer Maria Rilke speaks with the power of worry and how it can grab us and paralyze us. It is a reminder that we need to do something about it against worry if we wish to move forward. Fear can be a powerful feeling that can avoid us from taking dangers and attempting new things. It can also prevent us from attaining our objectives and living our best life. Doing something about it against fear is challenging, however it is required if we wish to make development. It needs us to be brave and to face our worries head on. It also requires us to be conscious of our thoughts and to challenge any unfavorable or restricting beliefs we might have. Doing something about it versus fear can be challenging, however it is essential if we wish to live a life of freedom and fulfillment.
