"There are two basic motivating forces: fear and love. When we
are afraid, we pull back from life. When we are in love, we
open to all that life has to offer with passion, excitement,
and acceptance. We need to learn to love ourselves first, in
all our glory and our imperfections. If we cannot love
ourselves, we cannot fully open to our ability to love others
or our potential to create. Evolution and all hopes for a
better world rest in the fearlessness and open-hearted vision
of people who embrace life."

-- John Lennon
