“Certain flaws are necessary for the whole. It would seem strange if old friends lacked certain quirks.”
Johann Wolfgang Von Goethe
“People throw away what they could have by insisting on perfection, which they cannot have, and looking for it where they will never find it.”
Edith Schaeffer
One of the most common challenges that people email me about – and I myself have had quite a bit of trouble with – is perfectionism.
It’s an issue that can hold you back in life. Not only from achieving and finishing what you want.
But sometimes from even getting started. While at the same time draining your self-esteem and getting you stuck in a negative spiral where it can become harder and harder to start moving forward.

“To affect the quality of the day, that is the highest of arts.”
Henry David Thoreau
“Don’t judge each day by the harvest you reap, but by the seeds you plant.”
Robert Louis Stevenson
Some days are great, better than you would have expected when you rolled out of the bed in the morning.
Quite a few days are just good and OK days.

Fear.
Sometimes it’s a very helpful thing that keeps us from harm.
But many times it’s an inner voice and barrier that keeps us stuck.
That keeps us from getting what we want and becoming who we honestly deep down want to be.
Learning to handle fear and overcome it – even if that’s sometimes just for 10 or 30 seconds so you can take an important action – is critical to living your life fully.
So in this article I’d like to share timeless and time-tested wisdom from the people that walked this earth long before us (and from a few that are still here with us).
Here are 73 inspirational, thought-provoking and practically helpful quotes on fear.
