There are days when you learn information or experience something that really challenges everything you've built your world around and believe. Being human, your foundation will be shaken many times - if you live long enough. When this happens, you’re stuck with 2 choices.
CHOICE #1:
Close yourself off and isolate, hoping to protect yourself from being hurt or challenged again.
CHOICE #2:
Proceed with courage and continue to be open, even with the very probable chance of being hurt or challenged again.
