Part 7/10:
Confronting the unknown is central to developing courage. The literature surrounding anxiety clearly shows that exposure to what we fear does not necessarily diminish that fear but expands our capacity to confront it. By choosing to face fears voluntarily, individuals learn to navigate life with bravery, defined not by the absence of fear but by the willingness to proceed despite it.
It is easy to succumb to nihilism and despair, yet these are false refuges. There is profound meaning in each individual’s potential for change, along with the opportunity to take action and confront significant challenges, leading to personal growth.
