I know that's what Buechner said, but I really think that being scared doesn't mean you're doing it wrong. For some of us, that feeling begins, lingers, and circles back forever.
My suggestions?
Remember that you can be scared but still take action.
Surround yourself with daring people and “borrow their brave.” Better yet, partner up and celebrate each other’s strengths.
If you can’t stop the thinking, start the doing anyway. Mistakes are better than regrets.
Don’t ever forget what a privilege it is to learn. Instead of being self conscious about having the least experience/education/ability, realize how incredible it is to be surrounded by knowledge and wisdom and shamelessly suck that in.
I don’t think I will ever reach “not scared,” but sometimes, as I look back, it’s astonishing what used to be scary and what is scary now.
