An interesting phenomenon often occurs after this desensitization process — performers fall in love with the activity they used to fear.”

The only way to destroy fear is to allow it to no longer affect you, which means you might have to face the fear again, and again, and again, and again.
Will it be uncomfortable? Yes.
Will it take enormous energy at times? Yes.
But the rewards of eradicating your fears separate the average from champions.

Never forget or surrender your true worth from God!
You are the difference between your success and someone else's stupidity!
Be the best version of yourself!
