Only when we are no longer afraid do we begin to live.

Only when we are no longer afraid do we begin to live.

Summary

This quote emphasizes the idea that true living can only commence once we overcome fear. It implies that fear acts as a barrier that restricts us from fully experiencing life and all of its possibilities. When we shed our fears, we become liberated and more open to taking risks, pursuing our passions, and embracing new adventures. By confronting and conquering our fears, we can truly start living a life that is authentic, fulfilling, and abundant.

Now, I am not a poetical man myself, except in a vocal way, when it goes round a company, but I'm a practical one, and that's my experience. So's this rule. Fast and loose in one thing, Fast and loose in everything. I never knew it fail. No more will you. Nor no one.
