not-too-casual-friday - fear


our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate.  our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure.  it is our light, not our darkness that frightens us most.  
- nelson mandela, 1994 inaugural speech


thanks to theresa at inspiration cooperative for connecting bloggers on this topic.  for more reading about fear, take a visit.

courage to you, together with joy.

    That is a perfect sentiment. I didn't join in on the post today because I struggled with what fear really is and didn't want to seem to make light of having true life or death fear. I love your quote because it makes me think how we/humans have unrealistic feelings that we label fear (anyway that's my interpretation). Have a great weekend! Teri
