The key of course isn't to be afraid, it's to choose your response to fear (as opposed to just reacting to it) - a sentiment which your post captures nicely!

The word is a label and a judgement, a summarization of a person by one feeling. Personally, I prefer "fearful" or "afraid", though they're not gramatically parallel. All of us are afraid. There are no cowards. Even those who do not follow their dreams are cowards. They are just afraid. <strong>Thanks Mark for your comments.
