Quotes:

"Fools rush in where angels fear to tread." - Alexander Pope

A Little Unexpected...

"Do one thing every day that scares you." - Eleanor Roosevelt

“I'm not afraid of death; I just don't want to be there when it happens.” - Woody Allen

“The enemy is fear. We think it is hate; but it is really fear.” - Gandhi

“There are two basic motivating forces: fear and love. When we are afraid, we pull back from life. When we are in love, we open to all that life has to offer with passion, excitement, and acceptance. We need to learn to love ourselves first, in all our glory and our imperfections. If we cannot love ourselves, we cannot fully open to our ability to love others or our potential to create. Evolution and all hopes for a better world rest in the fearlessness and open-hearted vision of people who embrace life.” - John Lennon

Your hosts wind things up and the discussion leads to the word of the day for next time.
