"The Only Thing we Have to Fear is Fear Itself"

Truer words have never been spoken.  FDR hit it on the head with this one.  Feeling a little chaotic inside today.  Why?  Probably because I had to go to the dentist and I hate the dentist.  It makes me want to curl up in the fetal position for hours afterwards with a great big Monster drink in my hand so I can drown out my misery.  To that end, fear does stop us from reaching our true potential. It is amazing what you can accomplish when you face that fear head on.  It isn't easy.  It isn't going to go away over night.  I have learned so much about fear this past year.  Learning to let go of my own demons inside.  You know the ones that your afraid that if everyone knows about they are going to judge you (word of advice.....? Never, never, care what someone thinks about you.  What you do and who you are is your own choice and none of their business).  Just be good and make good choices that are the best for you.  Be true to yourself, no matter what that might be.  Do what makes you so very, very happy.  This life isn't about who can be the smartest or richest or the most correct or the most beautiful (which is the category I fall into.  This is my demon.  Yep, I have let my shallow side show).  This life is about finding joy.  That joy that makes you feel invincible.  That joy that makes you feel immortal.  That joy that makes you feel amazing.  Stop fearing the failure and look forward to the journey.  It isn't going to be easy.  But it is going to be worth it.  Take it from someone who has clawed herself out of a deep, deep dark hole.  That light at the end....is the brightest you will ever see and, it isn't fleeting.  It sticks around.  So, FDR is right, the only thing you have to fear is fear itself.  Bring it. (Yes, I have been reading fantasy romance novels again....I like them okay.  Jocelyn has to just face her fears. She is the only one that can defeat Edmund.  The sight says so and the sights are never wrong.  Even if she might die doing it. I have got to get to the end of this story, fast😬).
