The truth is, there will never be a time when you are not being fearful of something.
You continue living your life, amidst all these fears.
Fear will get to you only if you let it.

You said, “Fear will get to you only if you let it.”
You and FDR have it right, “nothing to fear but fear itself”
It makes you anxious, that makes you sick. I have been coping with SCI for over fifty years.
If I had let fear creep in, might have been dead forty nine years ago.
Why does dollop bring this old song into my head?
‘Wee Deoch an Doris’

I heard that song on a Edison cylinder. I’m not quite that old, but acquired old cylinders once, made my own player.
