the sooner you make an attempt despite the fear the sooner you can make an additional attempt. as you put off your initial attempt, you are putting off the entire series that would then constitute the very practice which is required to develop skill so that you no longer fear it
you need to start before you’re ready because you become ready by starting. you figure out what works by seeing what doesn’t work. there is very little that you can *think* yourself into a reality-approved answer to. you need to live out your questions by experimenting with them.
what you’re avoiding will unlock the next phase of your becoming. you’re scared because you don’t know how to do it, because you’ve never done it before. that won’t change until you try, until you start. you evolve by practicing and *becoming* the person that acts courageously.
You must choose your core values, define them, and live them so deliberately that when people are called to describe you, they use the same words you use to describe yourself.
