Because to begin is to step through the fear, only to realize you’re already past it before you’ve begun.
Fear is a prediction — of possible pain, humiliation, or loss.
So do you want to bet on your failures, or on your success?
Usually, the worst that could happen amounts to not very much.
But the best that could happen would be life-changing.
So if you’re afraid, make sure what you’re afraid of is very, very real, and very, very consequential.
If it’s just garden-variety “what if I fail” fear, step through.
