Shout out!...
  At times in our life we too often second guess of descisions or we ponder a thought too long or we choose not to go froward due to fear.  We should not let fear hold us back.  Fear is what drives us forward in a safe manner.  Fear is the funny feeling inside your stomach that we call "butterflies".  We have been taught to avoid fear and that is completely WRONG!!!!  We should embrace it, get to know it like a new girl/boy friend and welcome it into our everyday life.  Make life an adventure!!! What would an adventure be without fear?  I can tell you that it wouldn't be any fun.  There would be no adventure at all!!!!  So the bottom line is find things to do in life that scares the hell of you and you will be a happy person not a "Fraidy Cat"
