It’s all in your perspective. Some things I’ll face head on. Others, duck and cover. ;-)

I agree depending on what you are fearing or how bold you are. I’d still recommend you wear a safety belt.

our minds are wonderful factories of ideas and creations. that’s where anything is possible, great and awful. it’s where our dreams are made, but it’s also where we give more fuel to fear than fear could ever get by itself.

Oh, Beth! this silly post with the cowboy riding a pinata had me chuckling and hope you don’t have any real fears, just happy thoughts… I liked the very good and motivating quote by Helen Keller, this really means step out and don’t worry about the fear, just go!
