To venture causes anxiety, but not to venture is to lose one’s self. Anxiety is the dizziness of freedom.Søren KierkegaardWhich reminds me of another quote by G.K. Chesterton, ‘We can make ourselves miserable trying to avoid misery.’Both of these I take to mean that there’s a certain level of discomfort naturally a part of this adventure called life, and if we fight it or try to avoid it, we’ll end up feeling empty for it.
