How To Scare Yourself Into Being Bold And Loving It

‘Boldness has genius, power and magic in it’ (Goethe) I saw this quote a while ago and it really struck me as I’d never thought of boldness having such qualities before and yet, now I think I might understand it a little more as at the weekend, I took a chance at being bold in my own small way.

Everybody’s Pointing And Nobody’s Listening
