"Fearlessness is not the absence of fear. Rather, it's the mastery of fear. It’s getting to the point where our fears do not stop us from daring to think new thoughts, try new things, take risks, fail, and start again. Fearlessness is all about getting up one more time than we fall down.”

     ~ Arianna Huffington

A few quotes this week from Martina Navratilova, the tennis champion who was recently diagnosed with breast cancer.  I couldn't choose jut one, so I went with three instead:

"I think the key is for women not to set any limits."

"Just go out there and do what you have to do."

And finally,

"I hope, when I stop, people will think that somehow I mattered."

Best wishes in your battle against breast cancer, Martina!
