Replace fear with love


Sometimes in our daily walk someone says something that strikes a chord.

Yesterday, I had the honor to hear from one of our lectures the most amazing truth wrapped in four words ‘replace fear with love’.

These words sure resonate within me more so as I think about the future and my dream of running this project.
From this day on, I vow, to replace fear with love.   
I dare to start dreaming and believing IT CAN BE DONE!!!  

ps! Thank you so much C for sharing this gem with us - much appreciated.

You always felt left behind and never wanted to be part of anything.   You had serious issues with your body and as result had a very low self-esteem.   You covered well your low self-esteem with your loud squeaky voice, always seeking attention.   You were most of the time misunderstood and a laughing stock of your peers.   You never talked about your emotions to anyone.   You never cried at  least not in public.   You never complained.   You will not even tell anyone if you were sick. You had inquisitive mind and always asking questions.   You always said the wrong things at wrong time.   You never wanted to upset anyone but you were always in trouble with the ‘law’.
