Don't be afraid of your fear. It's just a signal. It tells you that your ego is threatened, that you've pushed on its limits; that someone else has threatened your view of self; that you feel unsafe.
Rather than run away from it, dive into it. What does it feel like? Where is it uncomfortable? Who are you being when you feel this? Push on it, just a little.
Lean into it, like walking into a strong wind. Open your mind and heart to learning from it.
What lies beyond your fear? What are the possibilities? What if you asked that person out?
Does it really matter if they say yes or no. What if you actually started that book, or song or play you said you would write?
Most of us don't fail. We give up. Better to fail than give up. But then, you may succeed. What do you want? Who would you be without your excuses?
