“I purposely push myself to my limits and beyond sometimes, because it reminds me that I can always do more than I think I can.
I learned to scuba dive because I was afraid of the ocean—as a California girl growing up body surfing, I was tossed by the waves and sucked into the undertow one too many times. Becoming a scuba diver didn’t take away my fear but it always reminds me of how attentive we need to be to details—they can mean the difference between life and death.”

i agree with you. the best way to beat fear is to confront it till ur not scared anymore
And if we never face our fears, there’s so much we will never learn, or do.
