How to Overcome Fear

I always like to remind myself that the point is to let your FAITH be bigger than your FEAR. No you won't always come out on top. But, that is how you know you're not letting fear control your decisions. That's a big one for me. I have high hopes and I can't help it.

Sometimes it's just human nature to be scared. It's telling you something. Maybe the risk isn't worth it, maybe it is but it's a new feeling taking certain risks. I can't help you with that. But maybe I can help you understand what it is we're afraid of.

Failure and rejection are a big one. It's not the worst thing that can happen to you. But it does sting a little bit doesn't it. That's because you have high hopes too. And that's a great place to be.

Listen here's what I'm really trying to say and I'm going to wrap it up fast. Go ahead and take that meeting. Try that new thing. Ask her if she wants to see you again in another place, at another time. It doesn't hurt to ask. But it does hurt if you don't. Look you've heard it just as much as I have. "You miss one hundred percent of the shots you don't take". It's ok brothers and sisters. It's probably worth a shot.

Now go take it.
