Summary
Listen to episode 611 of the Inspirational Living Podcast: Overcoming Anxiety, Worry, and Fear. Edited and adapted from Pushing to the Front by Orison Swett Marden.
Inspirational Podcast Excerpt: Quit fearing things that may never happen, just as you would quit any bad practice which has caused you suffering. Fill your mind with courage, hope, and confidence. Do not wait until fear thoughts become entrenched in your mind and your imagination. Do not dwell upon them. Apply the antidote instantly, and the enemies will flee.
There is no fear so great, or entrenched so deeply in the mind, that it cannot be neutralized or entirely eradicated by its opposite. You must drive out fear by putting a new idea into the mind. Fear, in any of its expressions, like worry or anxiety, cannot live an instant in your mind in the presence of the opposite thought: the image of courage, fearlessness, confidence, hope, self-assurance, self-reliance.

| 1:49.9 | The monster of worry dogs us from the cradle to the grave. |
| 1:55.3 | There is no occasion so sacred, but it is there. |
| 1:59.2 | Unbidden, it comes to the wedding and the funeral alike. It is at every |
| 2:04.4 | reception, every banquet. It occupies a seat at every table. No human mind can estimate the |
