Samurai Equine

One cannot take on demons or the supernatural, but if the challenge you face is as mortal as you are, then you can find the strength to take on every challenge ahead of you.

You can apply that kind of knowledge to financial matters. If you assume something is terribly expensive, you might shy away from it, thinking it's just too much. New furniture? New electronics for your house? New car? New monthly service? There's many things that we might deny ourselves simply because we believe that it's "too much" or that we "could never afford that". But let me ask you something... Do you actually know how much it costs, or are you just imagining a price in your head?

Instead of fearing what you don't know, do some research. Learn actual prices for how much things cost. Do some comparison shopping. You might find that what you fear is mostly in your head; that the actual prices are a lot more fair or even cheaper than you realized. When you quantify things like this, you no longer have an unbeatable task built up in your imagination. Instead, you have a goal to work towards, something you might be able to accomplish after all.

And that's just from a financial standpoint. With many things in life, when we stop fearing the unknown and make ourselves fully educated about stuff, it's always much easier to see the best way to advance.
