THOUGHT OF THE DAY: The only real handicap is fear. BE unafraid. . . . . Go right up and look your fear in the face and then DO something. These are the words of Margaret Bourke-White, prize- winning photographer and journalist who was named one of the top ten American women in 1936. She photographed and was influenced by real-life heroes Franklin and Eleanor Roosevelt. Remember Franklin Roosevelt’s famous words? The only thing we have to fear is fear itself. Experiencing fear can be a warning signal that we are in danger, and we certainly don’t’ want to ignore it! But there are times when we are afraid and it is because we are feeling challenged or insecure.
So don’t be handicapped by the fear that you are not good enough or smart enough. Remember Margaret Bourke-White and look those kinds of fear in the face. Then go ahead! You can do it!
