Fantasy Quote by Sanya Richards-Ross
““Life can lure us into this fantasy. A fantasy of fear. We look around and begin to fear we aren’t good enough for the right here and right now, so we create illusions in our minds of what we still need to be—when all we need to be is present in this moment, at this time.””
