How much might you have accomplished were it not for being in one of these two places, and likely, on occasion, in both at once?

ReplyDeleteThere have been many challenges in my life that later did not seem all that difficult to deal with, but at the time they were.
Which is why maybe the best advice I ever gave my boys was telling them to do their best to conquer their fears rather than allowing the reverse to happen.
