Fear & uncertanty is nothing but a hurdle that can be overcome several ways. Life is a bowl of cheries.Life is tough,than you die.Just do it.Better to try & fail than not to try at all.Do unto others as you would have others do unto you.Happy is as happy does.Hang with Turkys,become a Turky,Hang with Eagles,become an Eagle.Shoot for the stars.

Best one ever.
"It is not the critic who counts: not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles or where the doer of deeds could have done better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood, who strives valiantly, who errs and comes up short again and again, because there is no effort without error or shortcoming, but who knows the great enthusiasms, the great devotions, who spends himself for a worthy cause; who, at the best, knows, in the end, the triumph of high achievement, and who, at the worst, if he fails, at least he fails while daring greatly, so that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who knew neither victory nor defeat."
-Theodore Roosevelt

On my wall right now are these three:
1. Change the world today.
2. No one can help everyone, but everyone can help someone.
3. Do not follow where the path may lead; proceed in faith where there is no path, and leave a trail for others to follow. (Ralph Waldo Emerson)
I also like the old 4-H motto: Make the best better.

a few of my favorites are:
"To accomplish great things, we must not only act but also dream, not only plan but also believe."
"What lies behind us and what lies before us are tiny matters compared to what lies within us."
"The path to a dream is paved with sacrifices and lined with determination. And though it has many stumbling blocks along the way, and may go in more than one direction, it is marked with faith. It is traveled by belief and courage, persistance and hard work. It is conquered with a willingness to face challenges and take chances, to fail and try again. Along the way, you have doubts, setbacks, and unfairness. But when the path comes to an end, you will find that there is no greater joy than making your dream come true." --Barbara Cage
