I have always loved this quote, because it gives me hope. I feel like I live in fear. My family has proclaimed me a hypochondriac, I'm terribly shy, and I am the furthest thing from spontaneous you'll ever meet. In other words, fear rules my life. I fear the unknown and the unplanned of life. And it's crazy, because some of the best times I've had were the times where my I had no plans. One time I was on this bike trip with a group from my church. We were just riding along when a sudden storm hit. We had to veer off the path and take refuge under a freeway underpass. It turned out being funner than any other activity we had planned to do!
I also liked this quote because when I looked up the author I found out that Ambrose Redmoon was a pseudonym. The author's real name was James Neil Hollingworth, which is kind of what I'm doing. Again with the fear thing, I didn't want anyone that I knew to read my blog, so I didn't use my real name. But I'm glad I just have a spot to write what I feel without worrying about judgement. Someday, though, I will be able to say that I know living life is more important than living in fear. :)
