A life lived in fear is a life half lived.- Anonymous
The most painful and debilitating fear is fear of the unknown. Something bad MIGHT happen tomorrow, or five minutes from now, I'm worried...
Our greatest enemy is the belief that life is SUPPOSED to be safe. But life is always dangerous, and eventually fatal. Our opportunity for happiness lies in CHOOSING to live without fear of the unknown, not because life is not dangerous, but because life IS, by its very nature, a hazardous undertaking.
Remember that life is an ADVENTURE, and cheer Wheee... all the way down the slippery razor-blade of life.
[The phrase "razor-blade of life" comes from the 1960's Tom Lehrer song, Bright College Days... "Soon we'll be out, amid the cold world's strife. Soon we'll be sliding down the razor blade of life."]
