To be fearless is not really to overcome fear, it is to come to know its nature. To do this, develop compassion for yourself and others, and not always wanting things to work out on your own terms, just be curious. Relax, befriend your feelings, then you begin to understand.
You will have many opponents in your lifetime, but your ultimate opponent is yourself. There are many demons to conquer: fear, laziness, selfishness, egotism, and many others. You will need discipline, courage and perseverance to overcome your own defects, which is the ultimate victory.
Use your intuition as the main guide in life and seek out and study the ancient teachings. This way you will further the evolution of mankind as well as your own spiritual unfolding. Look for teachers who display virtue and a desire to assist others.
Before abandoning your work to help others, weigh the matter carefully. When helping others you must be careful and not to deplete your own resources. Helping others is the best way to learn to give and receive, in this way you invariably help yourself.
