Fighting tigers only makes them stronger and hungrier.

People often try to fight anxiety and get rid of anxiety and avoid anxiety. Not only does that create more anxiety, but there’s nothing wrong with it in the first place. It’s ok to feel anxious. It’s ok to feel uncomfortable. It’s ok to be uncertain. There’s nothing to avoid or to fight. In fact, learning to embrace those can take you to healthy places and help you do things you’ve always dreamed of.

If you learn to ride a tiger, it can take you places. If you try to fight a tiger, the only place you’ll end up is in its stomach.

This is so important because we often focus on a doubt and get anxious about it and try to be certain about it and try to control it. That becomes a barrier to action.

We make our actions dependent on absurd impossibilities like certainty.

It’s okay to have doubts. It’s okay to be anxious. They’re normal. Accept them, and then act according to your values anyway. It helps so much to put time into articulating what actions you value so that you know when you have a doubt, or you get anxious, you’re just going to follow through on your values anyway.

Doubts are storm clouds passing over. Let them pass. Chase them, and you’ll always be under them.
