I've become so adept, I don't even notice the fear it disappears so fast. Once I learned it was a secondary emotion, it was easy to trace back to what had frightened me. I hate being afraid more, because then I feel weak and powerless. Anger is incredibly powerful. Learning to use it for good was a challenge, but worth all the time and effort.
