He who has learned to fear has learned to hope.

What it means today

The fact that you can fear a future means there is a future you can still act on. Fear and hope are the two sides of caring about what comes next. You do not have to pick one to live.

Try this todayWhen fear comes up, name the hope that is hiding on the other side of it.
