That is straight-up awesome. I remember whe...Yes! That is straight-up awesome. I remember when I decided to do something similar, to actively seek out things that scare me and do them. It started with a refusal of letting stage fright stall me, and I'm moving it to bigger things every day. That you too would find your world getting bigger every time you stare down fear until it blinks first.<BR/><BR/>Since we're both into quotes, here's one of my favorites I think you might like.

To die alive is to take risks. To do something that may scare you, but that you should do anyway.'<BR/><BR/>That we would all die alive, and that in the meantime, we would live.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
