Favourite quote
FEEL THE FEAR...AND DO IT ANYWAY
Often we think, 'I'll do it when I am not so afraid.' But in reality, it works the other way round. The 'doing it' comes before the fear goes away. The only way to get rid of the fear of doing something is to go out and do it.

The Five Truths about Fear
  1. The fear will never go away as long as I continue to grow.
  2. The only way to get rid of the fear of doing something is to go out... and do it!
  3. The only way to feel better about myself is to go out... and do it!
  4. Not only am I going to experience fear whenever I am on unfamiliar territory, but so is everyone else.
  5. Pushing through fear is less frightening than living with the underlying fear that comes from feeling helplessness.
  6. I'll Handle It! ---- Susan Jeffers


Autobiography in Five Short Chapters Written by Portia Nelson

‘Be careful what you let become critical to you. Try to get yourself into situations where the most urgent problems are ones you want to think about.’ - Paul Graham

‘Animals are my friends, and I don’t eat my friends’ - George Bernard Shaw

“I slept and dreamt that life was joy. I awoke and saw that life was service. I acted and behold, service was joy.” — Attributed to Rabindranath Tagore

‘It is perfectly human to be afraid and, while afraid, that one is still obliged to live one’s life and to undertake one’s journey.’ (Hollis, 1994 p. 90)

Robert Hilleger says, ‘Shame started as a two-person experience, But as I got older I learned to do shame all by myself.”
