Feel (the) fear and do it anyway.

Hello.

Which sentence of the below would you use to express a general advice?

1) Feel fear and do it anyway.
2) Feel the fear and do it anyway.

My guess would be #1 to indicate that I don't mean any particular fear, but I found out that #2 comes from one of the books.
