FEAR, THE ALL TIME MOTIVATIONAL CHAMP

October 14, 2016 by

Nothing to fear but fear, and that’s more than enough. Quirky people have quirky fear, or they wouldn’t be quirky. Regardless of quirk, fear, real fear, is everywhere. “Do this, not that, or you’ll be sorry.” “Don’t forget to (insert action) or you’ll regret it.” Fear and status go hand in hand.
