What is your favorite quote? Why and how has it affected your life? "Courage is being scared to death and saddling up anyways" (John Wayne). In all honesty it hasn't affected in life, the reason I like it is because I already decided to live my life in the way the quote above describes. So rather than living my life because I was inspired by Johnn Waynes quote, I found this quote and liked it because it represents me. My life has been filled with many trials, some as difficult as losing my mom at the age of eight. That indeed was one of the toughest things I have had to deal with, I was scared. I didn't know what to do, but despite my fears I (in the terms of John Wayne) saddled up anyways. It is important in life that we push through our trials, fears, and flaws in order to move on and find happiness in our lives. Saddling up despite our instinct to keep our feet on the ground is an essential step in an individuals prusuit of happiness. I try to live my life in search for happiness; not allowing my fears to keep me from my dreams.
