Fear

I have an interview on Tuesday.
I’ve been on hundreds of interviews.
I know the answers by heart.
I have the timing down perfectly.

I still won’t sleep Monday night.
I still won’t eat breakfast Tuesday morning.
I’ll still arrive at the interview
an hour early ‘just in case.’

My fear of interviews will likely never go away.
What HAS changed
is how I deal with that fear.
I don’t let it stop me.
I don’t let it prevent me
from getting what I want.
I’ve learned to deal with it,
to perform WITH the fear.

Fear is an excuse
and people who make excuses
rather than take action
are rarely successful.
