Fear Quote by Emily Maroutian

“Ironically, we are most scared when we are most safe, just before we make the jump. Fear is heightened when the act is stuck in our minds unable to move forward into completion. Once we take the leap and it becomes a reality, the fear of it disappears and we can then enjoy the experience.” quote by Emily Maroutian
