Hi Jason…I get it…despite my belief about this being the only life I get and I should not let it be hampered by fear, the truth is, it’s so much easier said than done. I would say the ‘right’ thing is to never (or almost never) hold back for fear of failure. A few years ago, when I was supremely frustrated with myself for expecting a situation to end with the worst possible outcome, I actually said out loud, “good grief Donna, what if the worst thing doesn’t happen???” And it didn’t. That one question has helped me get my over-reactive fear impulse under control. That said, I also believe it’s important to be kind to ourselves when we just can’t break through every barrier…baby steps.
