I have this quote on my facebook, but somehow have become too cowardly to live by it
"The more I'm afraid of something, the more I know I have to do it. I figured that out when I was a kid. I can lead a protected life, hiding away from the scary world, or I can take on the things that scare me the most. The more it might hurt, the more I might die doing it, the more worth doing it must be." - Jodi Lerner
