Opening your heart is the only way to be relaxed with yourself. This gives you the chance to see who you are. Every person experiences fear; it is a part of our existence. But how do we best deal with it? How can we use it productively? Those who only distract themselves from it, hide from it, repress it, and crawl away from it will never truly confront it. On the contrary, we can only free ourselves from fear by opening up, allowing it to come close, and welcoming it, befriending it: giving it a smile. But not someday, rather now. The courage and strength we need to approach our fellow human beings openly can only be developed by those who acknowledge their own vulnerability. Without fundamentally understanding what fear is, we will never be fearless.
