When discussing changes I wanted to make in my life, my very good friend Coleman Wiseman would ask me, "What are you afraid of?"
"Never be afraid to stop being who you are so that you might become who you want to be." W.E.B. DuBois
"In order to learn the important lessons of life one must one must each day surrmount a fear. Fear is short-term. Regret lasts a lifetime. I refuse to tip-toe through life only to arrive safely at death's door. Always do what you are afraid to do."
Ralph Waldo Emerson
"As we emerge from the birth canal, we enter the world desperately struggling for breath. Most of us travel through life continuing to struggle, feeling unloved and alone. All too often we are afraid. Afraid of sickness and death, afraid of God, even afraid of continuing to live. Often we leave the world the same way we entered it – desperately struggling for breath.
I believe that the purpose of God’s guidance is to show us how to release our minds from fear so we may know His peace and be truly kind and sensitive to others, which we cannot do when we are fear dominated.” Gerald Jampolsky
"For the soul awakes, a trembling stranger, between two dim eternities - the eternal past, and the eternal future." Harriet Beecher Stowe
