"I have come to accept that fear is a given of life, at least for me. But there is one thing I can commit myself to: I will not let fear stop me from doing what I need to do or drive me to do what I don't want to do."
When I am shown up as a pretender or called out for being mean or inauthentic, I am not defensive but take it as welcome information about what I have to work on.
I am not trying to ingratiate myself with people in order to get on their good side. Being loved for who I am has become more important than upholding the status of my ego.
