Hi, weekenders.

Thank you for the thread, Dee.

I love the quote too, though I don't completely agree that the fear is inflicted only by ourselves. Often it is inflicted by other people's projection of their insecurities. Especially people we are supposed to respect and look up to. So fear sneaks in our mind and plays the role of a lens we are seeing the world through. It we've been living with this fear long enough we starting acting automatically upon the fear-crippled thinking pattern.

It's our job responsibility to make a regular assessment of our fears and ruthlessly weed out those which impair our life. For me it's almost a day job)

Have a good one, weekenders.
