Only when we are no longer afraid do we begin to live.
– Dorothy Thompson
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
Be not afraid of life. Believe that life is worth living, and your belief will help create the fact.
Time for a little pep talk–throw away those negative thoughts that slow you down. No need to have them in your way.
Prove to yourself that you can do it–make the time, write those words, bring your characters to life. Your story needs to be told.
Kick your fear to the curb and follow your dream. Or…you will always wonder…
Hmmm. Think I feel better already.
