Being willing makes you able.

We are afraid of failure, of ridicule, of being rejected. We are afraid we’re not good enough.

When your commitment is to be loving regardless of the circumstances, there is no room for harsh words. You assert yourself not from a desire to control but from a desire to stand for who you are.

Fear is an affirmation of your growth.

Being willing makes you able.

Yet if we are to live fully, we must love as though we've never been hurt, dream as though our hopes have never been dashed, and take steps toward the future as though life has never given us pain.

The first is based in fear, the second in fearlessness.
