Each time I spoke though, I noticed afterwards that it wasn't that bad. This is a trend I've noticed throughout my life. Things I fear are never as bad in reality as I make them out to be in my mind.
每一次我当众讲话之后,我都会注意到其实它并没有想得那样糟糕。这是我在生活中已经注意到了的一种现象。我害怕的事情在现实中并没有像我想象的那样可怕。
So one element of training for fearlessness is to simply push ourselves to do things that we fear so that we have more opportunities to develop the wisdom that the things we fear are always worse in our minds than they are when we actually experience them.
所以锻炼克服恐惧的一个方法是就让自己去做我们所感到恐惧的事,这样我们就会有更多的机会来提升自身的智慧,认识到我们所恐惧的事在想象中比在现实中是更加可怕的。
