Facing Fear


"You gain strength, courage and confidence by every experience in which you really stop to look fear in the face. You must do the thing which you think you cannot do."

- Eleanor Roosevelt

It is only when you take the risk to do so, to face fear in the face, that you realize that you have more meaningful life experiences.

When you look back at your life, it is those times when you jumped into the unknown, decided to do what you had never done before and had the courage to go against the nay-sayers, that you find that the rewards have been well worth it.

By living in the Now, rather than being afraid of the "What-ifs", is when you build the beautiful memories of a life well lived to the fullest.

And you will rejoice at the joyful things that you encountered and give thanks for the many disappointments and losses that you faced.

It is the good times and the bad times that made your life a tapestry of beauty...
