"Will you try to carry your fears? - OR - Will you be willing to cast them on the one who cares for you?"

SUMMARY:
As a society, we’re more anxious now than we’ve ever been. If fear is caused by our belief in a future potential loss, then anxiety is the present emotion caused by that uncertainty. We carry it around like a software virus. It slows us down and quietly keeps us from operating at our full potential.
