Do you remember how you felt when you stood up for the first
time? Unsteady on your legs, falling down after a few seconds, but not giving
up till you got it right.
Do you remember taking your first step? You need not have- crawling
could get your around quite well - but you still took that Step.
There was a time when you were not scared of taking risks. A
time when you knew that you could not cling to the familiar forever. A time
when you were not scared to let go.
Why, now, are you so scared?
"The fishermen know that the sea is dangerous and the storm terrible, but they have never found these dangers sufficient reason for remaining ashore." Vincent Van Gogh
