“What is needed, rather than running away or controlling or suppressing or any other resistance, is understanding fear”

Jiddu Krishnamurti

Simplified Meaning:

It’s better to understand fear instead of trying to escape from it, control it, or push it away. Imagine you are afraid of speaking in public. If you always avoid giving speeches, that fear will stay with you or even get stronger. But if you take some time to think about why you’re afraid—maybe it’s because you worry about making mistakes or being judged—then you can start to find ways to deal with those specific worries. For instance, you might practice more, or remember that everyone makes mistakes and that's okay. When you understand fear, you can face it and manage it better, rather than letting it control your actions. So, instead of hiding from your fears, try to learn more about them, and you'll find it easier to handle them in your life.
