Facing fear with preparation
- Fear is a very real thing. It can be an impediment that we create and exacerbate in our own minds. The only antidote to fear, is preparation. And it keeps your mind busy so that it doesn't wander and multiply that anxiousness, and it gives you something to battle your insecurities with. It also makes you better at the thing you're afraid of doing. And so, I always say, whenever you're scared of something, try to slay that dragon by getting rid of your fear, by educating yourself, by talking to somebody who you admire, by finding some way, even just online, to see what other people have done. Nobody makes it in a vacuum. Everybody, whether they want to admit it or not, is influenced by a ton of people and things that happen. So, take advantage of the internet, seek out people you admire, and conquer your fear with concrete steps to alleviate whatever you're anxious about not knowing enough about.
