”Security is mostly a superstition. It does not exist in nature, nor do the children of men as a whole experience it…Avoiding danger is no safer in the long run than outright exposure. The fearful are caught as often as the bold. Faith alone defends. Life is either a daring adventure or nothing.”

We use our false sense of safety as an excuse to avoid things we’re afraid of or that feel too difficult.  But we humans are far more capable than we know. Facing fear is an ongoing battle and one worth fighting.  Because life has an expiration date.

So circumstances or pandemic be damned. We must paddle out towards our dreams and charge at life like Mark Paarman charges at a wave…like it might be our last monster of a ride!
