Should you give into fear? I recently saw the movie “Bridge of Spies”, in which the Russian spy maintained a total calmness throughout the trial. He was facing the electric chair and all of USA hated him. When his lawyer asked him: Don’t you get upset? Afraid? He replied: Would it help? Of course it would not. Way better to keep calm and not get overwhelmed by destructive emotions. So, that is what I do now, when I feel a beginning urge to feel afraid, I ask: Would it help? No, it would not! So then I find my peace again! ☺
Would it help? What I learned from a Russian spy.
