We never get upset over what happens. Never. We get upset because of preconceived ideas as to what we think should happen, what we want to happen.

Don't try to be unafraid. That is impossible. Rather, go ahead while being afraid. That is the entire secret for abolishing fear. The Supermind teaches us to have no self-concern at all. Whatever happens to you, act as though it happened to someone else.
