Love or Fear?

Fear is only as deep as the mind allows.
- Japanese proverb

Ponder this. Our actions are motivated by either love or fear. Love is fantastic, but let's focus on fear. Fear can freeze our dreams and delay goals. You know, not that fear with real physical danger involved...I mean the imagined fear of doing a task outside your comfort zone. I want to encourage you to just plow ahead and do it! You will learn and grow from your experience.

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

Only when we are no longer afraid do we begin to live.
- Dorothy Thompson

Hugs,
Gin

Thank you for visiting my blog.
Good luck with your increasing family of animals.
You have an interesting and very thought provoking blog.
I will have to visit more often, especially when I start dwelling on the negative and need a good kick up the a**e.
Thanks.

Hi Gin,

as we all have there have been times when i have been so scared to "do" something. as i have matured and decided i really want things to be better in my life i have said to myself and the universe out loud the popular saying "FEEL THE FEAR AND DO IT ANYWAY!" It really works to push you forward.
