"Try not to make important decisions out of your own fearfulness. This means, you must become acquainted with your own particular set of fears. We all have them; it is the human condition. But allowing old fears to shape your adult life is a great tragedy, and it is not necessary. Watch for those moments when you pull back from a particular challenge or avoid something intriguing but risky. Name your fears and try to figure out where they come from and what they are trying to protect you from. Fear can be a habit, no longer useful in these new circumstances. Be kind to that fearful part of you and offer it comfort. But don't allow it to organize your life or silence your voice. More than anything, this will secure your freedom to be who you really are. And that is a very good thing." -- Penny Gill
