"Once we face our fear, once we treat our anxiety itself as a thing, we can then choose otherwise. Instead of filling the unknown in our minds with expectations of the tragic, we can choose to fill the void with a different expectation – the expectation of adventure.
For example, Seneca, the Greek philosopher, refused to be afraid of what he did not know. When asked if he was afraid of dying, he replied, 'Absolutely not, why should I be afraid of something I know nothing about.' His orientation toward the unknown of death was not to fill the gap in his understanding with horror but potential."

"But I think that no matter how smart, people usually see what they're already looking for, that's all."

"Expectation and fact are two different things that people usually cannot differentiate."
- Lionel Suggs

"Whatever we expect with confidence becomes our own self-fulfilling prophecy." #BrianTracy
