You don't have to be afraid of anything in life as long as you have these two tools: praying and crying. Now, it may sound ridiculous, and you might say I don't need to pray or cry. I find that with prayer and crying I can overcome any situation that comes up in life. Most of my life I thought that prayer (or affirmation) was useless, and I thought crying was for somebody that wasn't a real man. This caused me to bottle up all of my pain and suffering, and I was always afraid of the next hard thing in life. I am grateful to be welcoming a baby girl into the world, and I know that I can learn as much from her as I can teach her. I can teach her the practical things in life and she can teach a more simple way to live. Honest, transparent, and if life makes you mad, scream & cry to get over it. Don't bottle things up and hold on to grudges that can consume you. I am grateful to have a very diverse following of people from different cultures and belief systems, and I hope that this can help you no matter wher
