reminds me of another quote:

the best thing to do is the right thing, the next best thing to do is the wrong thing, the worst thing to do is nothing. so, yup, you are right!

I think the older I get the more fear stops me for some reason?! It is wonderful to be fearless-keep it up!

As far as fear stopping you from trying – fortunately I am too naive to consider a lot of what could happen before I start a project. The first time I signed up for a poker tournament my poker friends gave me the blunt opinion that they didn’t think I would stand a chance. Which was probably true and I had fortunately already signed up before telling them. I actually almost didn’t tell anyone because I didn’t want to be laughed at. I ended up winning which astounded some of them – and me for that matter. I didn’t think I had too big of chance but just wanted to see what it was like.

great tips. fear can be paralyzing! I often have to talk myself into doing some things and convince myself that my fears are without merit.

Now don’t get the impression that I do these kinds of things for all of my fears, but I’ll give you two examples for me.

When I got hired to be a Paramedic with LAFD, I was scared to death of heights. So, I climbed a ladder at every opportunity. I made myself just get up and do it, and eventually, much of that fear went away.

A little over a decade ago, I developed a sudden fear of flying. It wasn’t about heights, it was about crashing. I think I got it in my brain that since I had flown so many miles, the odds were starting to go against me. So, I became a pilot. Believe me, there is nothing more humbling than the day the instructor, gets out of the plane and says, “She’s all yours. Go on your first solo.” Very sobering to look over and see no one else up in the cockpit…

Anyway, tackling demons head on can sometimes work.

Cheers
