Fighting tigers only makes them stronger and hungrier.

People often try to fight anxiety and get rid of anxiety and avoid anxiety. Not only does that create more anxiety, but there’s nothing wrong with it in the first place. It’s ok to feel anxious. It’s ok to feel uncomfortable. It’s ok to be uncertain. There’s nothing to avoid or to fight. In fact, learning to embrace those can take you to healthy places and help you do things you’ve always dreamed of.

If you learn to ride a tiger, it can take you places. If you try to fight a tiger, the only place you’ll end up is in its stomach.
