In soloing -- as in other activities -- it is far easier to start something than it is to finish it.
...decide...whether or not the goal is worth the risks involved. If it is, stop worrying....
A single act of kindness throws out roots in all directions, and the roots spring up and make new trees.
Some of us have great runways already built for us. If you have one, take off. But if you don't have one, realize it is your responsibility to grab a shovel and build one for yourself and for those who will follow after you.
The more one does the more one can do.
Experiment! Meet new people. That’s better than any college education . . . By adventuring; about, you become accustomed to the unexpected. The unexpected then becomes what it really is . . . the inevitable.
Women, like men, should try to do the impossible. And when they fail, their failure should be a challenge to others.
