“You gain strength, courage and confidence by every experience in which you really stop to look fear in the face. You are able to say to yourself, ‘I have lived through this horror. I can take the next thing that comes along.’ You must do the thing you think you cannot do.”

~Eleanor Roosevelt

I think this quote means that we should always stand up to our fears and overcome them because we can not move on in life. The fears we keep anchor us and won’t enable us to do anything in life or to enjoy it. Standing up to our fears will not be easy but our friends and family give us courage and confidence to overcome them.
