What they really fear is the out-of-control feeling they experience when confrontedby these things. Take flying. The tendency is to focus on the plane. But it’s nothing to do with the plane. The plane is a piece of welded aluminium or steel. The thing you need to confront is yourself. What terrified you is what the plane represents in your own mind.What we need to change is our relationship to things we can’t control. Risks will always be there. Life is one big risk from the moment we are born. People who call themselves “nervous” or “fearful” are choosing to be this way because they’ve been practicing, often for years. Some people proudly declare “I’m not a risk-taker.” Well,what on earth does that mean? Stop for a moment and think of the risks you’ve taken in your life. As a young child, you risked first standing up to walk. You risked eating new foods. Everything was an unknown quantity at that stage, but you welcomed new experience. The next time that you feel afraid, try to recall that you were once a risk-taker. Remember there really is nothing to fear but fear itself. 害怕的是害怕本身 或許沒有一個人真正對高度、變化、未知物或任何特別的事情感到恐懼。他們真正害怕的是當他們面臨這些事情時體驗到的一種失控的感覺。以乘飛機為例，我們的恐懼傾向集中在飛機上。但事實上這和飛機沒有關(guān)系。飛機只是一塊塊焊接的鋁或鋼。你應(yīng)該面對的是你自己。使你感到害怕的是飛機在你腦海里所代表的東西。我們應(yīng)該改變的是我們同無法掌控的事物的關(guān)系。危險總是會存在。生命從我們出生那刻起就是一種很大的危險。稱自己“緊張”或“害怕”的人是自己使然，因為他們經(jīng)常多年來一直緊張或害怕。一些人驕傲地宣稱“我不是一個冒險的人?！蹦蔷烤故鞘裁匆馑?？停下來一會兒，想想你在生活中遇到的危險。作為一個小孩，你冒了第一次站立行走的險，你冒了吃新的食物的險。在那個階段一切都難以預(yù)料，但是你樂于接受新的經(jīng)歷。當你下次感到害怕時，回想一下你曾經(jīng)是一個敢于冒險的人。要記住，除了害怕本身，沒有什么是值得害怕的。 【注釋】
