“Be not afraid” does not mean we cannot have fear. Everyone has fear, and people who embrace the call to leadership often find fear abounding. Instead, the words say we do not need to be the fear we have. We have places of fear inside us, but we have other places as well----- places with names like trust and hope and faith.
We can choose to lead from one of those places, to stand on ground that is not riddled with the fault lines of fear.”
-----Parker J. Palmer
