Anxiety is also an extremely valid reason NOT to do something

Sure, in cases of legitimate severe clinical anxiety, which are relatively rare

Yeah. If we treat anxiety as an automatic reason to not do things, we can never overcome it.

True, but to not live a full, rich life isn't one of them.

Good on you for not bailing him out. Even more props to him

RockyBalboa

NAILED it. Either control your fears or be forever controlled by those fears.

I think this is part of why the church has added an Emotional Resilience
