Thoughts on FEAR

The Replacements is an American movie from 2000 during a pro football strike and the owner of the team hires "scab's" as substitute players to finish the season. In this movie is a profound quote that has always hit home for me regarding fear:

Shane Falco: You're playing and you think everything is going fine. Then one thing goes wrong. And then another. And another. You try to fight back, but the harder you fight, the deeper you sink. Until you can't move... you can't breathe... because you're in over your head. Like quicksand.
Before Alanon THAT was my life. We are taught that courage is fear that has said its prayers...and that fear is absent with faith.

In what ways have you learned to move out of fear?

One way, for me is staying in today. A lot of the time FEAR, to me, means False Evidence Appearing Real -or- Future Events Appearing Real.

Thanks!
