First of all, thank you loyal followers! Second, I have now moved to "tumblr". It seems better than blogspot early on, but only time will tell. I am going to move some of the classic posts from this blog over so don't be too upset...JK. You don't care.

Fight Each Adversity Resiliently
Fear. At some point or another, we all have fear.
It isn’t a sign of weakness; indeed once you can recognize it, it’s a sign of strength. Yet, we don’t like to admit fear because we think it to be a weakness. Or we let it happen to us too often. Neither is a healthy practice. Too much fear accomplishes nothing; too little fear leads to mistakes. Here, as in many realms of life (drinking, relaxation, etc.), moderation is key.
When you wake up in the morning, there should be no fear. You have a whole day ahead of you with tremendous possibilities. Twenty-four hours to do with as you please. When opportunities arise, no fear. These opportunities are blessings and would not become present in your life if not for you to embrace them with tenacity and good faith! When challenges arise, little or no fear. Daily tribulations can mangle our ambition, diminish our goals, and—if you let them take full control—dismantle our dreams. But, proper management of fear can make these minute struggles part of your process of achievement, and if you’re a true life warrior, routine.
Roughest is the management of fear in the face of adversity. Adversity strikes at no convenient time for anyone. If I have learned anything from the relatively miniscule amounts of adversity in my life, it is that with adversity comes a challenge: as one who is put through fire and friction, it is your responsibility to be a gem, a precious gem, for others! This doesn’t mean to go out and achieve and make known one’s self! Indeed I have discovered quite the opposite—no! We, I, You, must listen, empathize, and relate to those who come into our previously occupied situation anew! It is irresponsible and downright uncompassionate to sit back and put one’s baggage on a pedestal. I have particular trouble with this.
So again, I write for you, I write for me.
Don’t let fear stop you—don’t let a lack of it kill you.
Cheers.
