Don't fear failure so much that you refuse to try new things. The saddest summary of a life contains three descriptions: could have, might have, and should have - Louis E Boone

We need to learn to embrace fear and listen to it's messages. When we know what we fear most, we know what we care about most.
The death of fear is in doing what you fear to do - Sequichie Comingdeer
