I love how you brought the words to us of two very successful women.

I loved what Gilbert had to say - she always seemed so brave to me, hopping around the world all by herself, being so open about everything in her writing and her talks. But she says she's been scared the whole time...So, we won't grow out of it, I'm afraid, but we can just accept it and give ourselves a bit more credit that courage is when you ARE scared but you do something anyway.Melissa Ann Goodwinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13454907380469372468noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1504985949691119699.post-32978980903454198512015-08-16T23:37:29.077-07:002015-08-16T23:37:29.077-07:00What a brilliant way of looking at fear.

However, I am equally certain that they don't think either.<br />Fear is a response to the maybe and the perhaps which are part of our lives. The sometimes big and ugly perhaps.
