Your fear is just as boring as mine is. Everyone's got the same one. It is not precious. It is not special. It is not singular to you. It's just the one we all got wired with when we came in. Focus on your unique qualities that deserve to be celebrated and put fear back in its place. Don't listen to it. Onward.

Elizabeth Gilbert
Change is all about motion, motion is all about uncertainty and we are deeply uncomfortable with uncertainty.
