Do not be afraid.
One reason people don’t evolve and fail to move beyond their time is fear. And the worst part is that they are afraid of even feeling this fear. So, they refuse to acknowledge it or push it away.
But the moment you give your fear existence, when you admit it, observe it, and even converse with it, only then can you truly say that you know your invisible enemy: the one whose presence you feel in your shadow and whose mere existence frightens you. If you stand calmly before his goddess, half close your eyes to avoid being blinded by its wild, beastly glow, you will eventually discover its Achilles’ heel. This tiny, invisible gem that has always been the initial building block. Approach it, touch it. Do not be afraid. And the fear is gone.
