You can accept that you are afraid and then move on.""There are people who are wise enough and motivated enough to change their lives and live their dreams, and then there are those who need a kick in the pants to change their ways.""I believe adults and parents who do not get involved in children's lives effectively forfeit any right to attempt to influence their lives."
