Only when we are no longer afraid...


I came across an article titled, "Embrace fear and find your center" from one of my favorite websites, tiny buddha.  It's a perfect story of learning to let go of control and start living your life.  Remember that every failure is just an opportunity to give up or try again.

Thomas Edison said, "Many of life's failures are people who did not realize how close they were to success when they gave up."  He should know, he made over 1,000 lightbulbs until he invented one that worked.  When asked about his failures, he said, "I have not failed 1,000 times.  I have successfully discovered 1,000 ways to NOT make a light bulb."  Imagine if he would have gave up after the first 5 tries...
