It’s Really Just a Life Experience!
“Too many of us are not living our dreams because we are living our fears.” ~ Les Brown
Does FEAR of FAILURE keep you from DREAMING? From DOING your DREAMS? I have one thing to say to you…… DON’T LET FEAR KEEP YOU FROM THE LIFE YOU DREAM OF!
“For God did not give us a spirit of timidity (of cowardice, of craven and cringing and fawning fear), but [He has given us a spirit] of power and of love and of calm and well-balanced mind and discipline and self-control.” ~ 2 Timothy 1:7

“Procrastination is the fear of success. People procrastinate because they are afraid of the success that they know will result if they move ahead now. Because success is heavy and carries a responsibility with it, it is much easier to procrastinate and live on the ‘someday I’ll’ philosophy.” ~ Denis Waitley
