Stuff Bob thinks is cool #20

This quote has essentially the same message as my August 27 Nelson Mandela post.

There are two basic motivating forces: fear and love.

When we are afraid, we pull back from life. When we are in love we open to all that life has to offer

with passion, excitement, and acceptance.

We need to learn to love ourselves first, in all our glory and our imperfections.

If we cannot love ourselves, we cannot open fully to our ability to love others

or our potential to create.

Evolution and all hopes for a better world rest in the fearlessness

and open-hearted vision of people who embrace life.

-John Lennon
