Next time, ask: What’s the worst that will happen? Then push yourself a little further than you dare. 

Once you start to speak, 

people will interrupt you, put you down and suggest it’s personal. 

And the world won’t end. 

And the speaking will get easier and easier. 

And you will find you have fallen in love with your own vision, which you may never have realized you had. 

And you will lose some friends and lovers, and realize you don’t miss them. 

And new ones will find you and cherish you. 

And at last you’ll know with surpassing certainty that only one thing is more frightening than speaking your truth. 

And that is not speaking.

"What if you woke up today with only the things you thanked god for yesterday?"

"Reality is merely an illusion, 
albeit a very persistent one." 


- Albert Einstein

“The keys to patience are acceptance and faith. Accept things as they are, and look realistically at the world around you. Have faith in yourself and in the direction you have chosen.”-Ralph Marston
