“It all changed when I realized I'm not the only one on the planet who's scared. Everyone else is, too. I started asking people, Are you scared, too? You bet your sweet life I am.

People realize they are not the only one who feels that way.” PeopleWayFeelsWholeHandsAsksFearRealizingRoomsChangedPlanetsSweetAskingScaredI RealizedBoatWorkshopsSweet Life Author:Stan Dale
“The problem of living in this modern world is the problem of finding room in it.
