“Instead of denying these fears, declare them, say them out loud, admit them, give them the credit they deserve… Find the courage to overcome them.”
— Matthew McConaughey

Simplified Meaning:
When you face your fears, you shouldn’t pretend they don’t exist. Rather, you should acknowledge them and openly admit that you're scared. Recognizing and being honest about your fears is important because it allows you to confront them directly. For example, if you're afraid of public speaking, it helps to tell yourself and even others that you're nervous. By doing this, you give yourself a chance to work on your fear and find ways to become more comfortable with it. Admitting your fears is the first step in building the courage you need to conquer them. Being honest about what scares you can empower you to face those challenges and eventually overcome them.
