To be fearless, is not really to overcome fear, it’s to come to know its nature. To do this, develop compassion for yourself and others, not always wanting things to work out on your own terms; just be curious. Relax, befriend your feelings, then you begin to understand.
All living things grow and change. To help you grow and change, self-cultivation should be part of your life but should have a proper duration, it should not dominate all else. In time self-cultivation can become a natural expression of yourself and a part of your life.
We can know the world, but first we must know ourselves, we can do this without going anywhere. Live a quiet, simple life, free of ideas and concepts. Find contentment in the practice of undiscriminating virtue, giving to others selflessly without expectation of reward.
Having the courage to face things exactly as they are without illusions, you will be able to recognize the path to success. This recognition should be followed by resolute and preserving action. This way you will be able to surmount any obstacles in your path.
