FACE YOUR FEAR

New level of courage
+++++++++++++++++++

It is comfortable to stay where you are. But soon, that 
comfort will turn into boredom, frustration and regret.

It is uncomfortable to take on a challenge and to venture 
along a new path. Yet that is precisely what makes you 
stronger, more interesting, more capable and more fully 
alive.

Go ahead and do what makes you feel slightly apprehensive. 
That is also what makes you grow.

Feel the fear and apprehension. Learn from it all and let it 
prepare you. 

Then, step boldly forward. Experience the new level of 
courage you have just attained.

Make good, purposeful use of that courage so that it grows 
ever stronger. And let it lead you forward into the true 
greatness that is your destiny.

Ralph Marston

I recommend "The Road Less Traveled" by Scott Peck. Thank you, Linda! Taking risks is hard for most of us. Thank you for the reminder that it takes courage........Candy
