Living for today while being afraid of tomorrow isn’t really living. In its own way, it is hiding from the realities of our own fears or the fears of others.

Facing our fear and learning to master it, or at least tame it, allows us to embrace the joys of life and accept the sorrow that is an inherent part of living.  Fear, when tamed, becomes the caution that makes the journey open to more joy and less sorrow.
