We could dwell on these things everyday of our life, scared to go out and live it, afraid of what will happen, and not wanting to make a mistake. But that is a mistake, and our fear doesn't go away like, instead we feed it and allow it to thrive on us, slowly tearing us down. Somehow we must move on, but if these things aren't stopping, how are we supposed to stop being afraid of them? Dr J. R. Miller found a way to say this, which I now share with you now.
The Problem of Life
There
are so many possibilities in life, in attainment and achievement, and
so many opportunities of doing good, that it is a glorious thing to
live. Surely, then, we ought to make the most of our life.
The
ideal life is one of joy. The face ought to be shining--shining even in
darkness. People say this is a sad world, yes, for those who have eyes
only for shadows. He who has songs in his heart hears songs wherever he
goes.
That is why, even though we are scared, frightened, and afraid. When we see only the shadows and our heart aches with pain. That is why, we must keep walking to the light. We must keep looking for the sunshine and allow it's warmth to fill our souls.
“Far
better it is to dare mighty things, to win glorious triumphs even
though checkered by failure, than to rank with those poor spirits who
neither enjoy nor suffer much because they live in the gray twilight
that knows neither victory nor defeat.” – Theodore Roosevelt
