Nice article! I more than agree.
One thing that kept me going in the difficult and dark times.
Was: "Life truly begins, at the end of your comfort zone."
(I don't remember how said that, lol!)
If we transform our fears, from something to avoid, into something to follow. Then we can slowly discover what we can and can not do.
If we use our fear as the sign that can guide us to the deepest corners of our selves, then we discover that there is much more to gain than to lose, truly knowing our selves is an immeasurable gift one can claim.
