Chances Are

Eleanor Roosevelt said many profound things. In this case, I believe that people who do things that interest them and do them with all their heart often inspire others to do the same, and that doing so while facing fear is an act of courage.

With Love,
Russ

Do the things that interest you and do them with all your heart.  Don’t be concerned about whether people are watching you or criticizing you.  The chances are that they aren’t paying any attention to you.

Some of my favorite sensory experiences include waves crashing on rocky shores, waterways in ancient redwood and fern-filled forests, and rain. My wife and I have been married since 1979. We have 3 adult children and 5 grandchildren. I manage a wealth management firm that I founded in 2003. My Beloved is a Special Education teacher for Kindergartners and First Graders. I'm a published author of approximately 60 books in a variety of genres for grownups and children.

    A good reminder. Yes, we’d be much less worried about what people think of us – if we realized how seldom they do! Sobering thought, isn’t it?
