My thoughts went to sayings like; “You catch more flies with honey than you do with vinegar”, “Why put off for tomorrow what you can do today?” and my experience of getting more likes on Facebook with topics on Food vs. Fear!

It’s never too late to change your appetite or the menu you prepare for your life! So, take a chance. There is nothing to fear except fear itself!
