Face your fears and you will be able to conquer them.

Sometimes the darkest corner has to be visited to open a new corner of light.

Write down 10 things you would do in your life if you had absolutely no fear. Then pick one of them and do it.

It takes courage to push yourself to places that you have never been before... to test your limits... to break through barriers. And the day came when the risk it took to remain tight inside the bud was more painful than the risk it took to blossom.

There are no failures; just experiences and your reaction to them.

I would like to be able to say that I came back from this by just simply getting up from the sofa and rolling up my sleeves… but I didn’t. I could not even take things days by day. In realistic terms I fought to make it through the day - 5 minutes at a time.
