For purpose breeds passion
And
Passion is fully equipped
To overwhelm fear."
-- Roger Teel
I know this to be true. In my job, I do things that make me uncomfortable - public speaking, social interaction, eating with others, travel, sharing a hotel room, etc - because they are all aspects of my job, and the work that I do that is so important to me. I have such a passion for locating information, disseminating information, and helping people, that I deal with the uncomfortable aspects in order to achieve the goals and live the purpose that I feel I was put on this earth to do. I am not brave, but my career, and the purpose within that occupation, makes me braver than I would be otherwise.
