It’s all fun and games until someone loses an eye… or trips over a chair.

That is so true. I can’t tell you how many times I’ve not done something for fear of failure or not being good enough or whatever.

I love it… there were no chairs.

We have no obstacles except those that are in our heads. So profound.

I have been trying to decide all day if I should go to this gym class today called “Fit Camp”. I am pretty nervous because I just joined the gym and I am totally not in shape now. Reading things like this really inspire me to just do it!

Thanks for sharing that quote. It is very inspiring and so true. Most of the time the things we are afraid o fturn out not to even be problems at all once we just try.

Thank you so much for that quote. This one and the other one listed by Marianne Williamson is also so inspiring and so helpful and perfect for what I am going through right now. I feel like I am at a crossroads right now, but I’m not moving at all for fear of failure. Thank you!

That’s a great one! Thank you for sharing it. I also really love this one:

“Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate; our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure. It is our light, not our darkness, that most frightens us. We ask ourselves, who am I to be brilliant, gorgeous, talented, fabulous? Actually, who are you not to be? You are a child of God. Your playing small doesn’t serve the world. There’s nothing enlightened about shrinking so that other people won’t feel insecure around you. We are all meant to shine, as children we do. We were born to make manifest the glory of God that is within us. It’s not just in some of us; it’s in everyone. And as we let our own light shine, we unconsciously give other people permission to do the same. As we are liberated from our own fear, our presence automatically liberates others”
