I’m scared
whenever I release
a new book.
I’m scared
whenever I present
a new product
to a company’s board.
I’m scared whenever
I try something new.
And that’s okay.
That’s better than okay.
That is a sign
I care.
I care enough
to be nervous
about the results.
It also likely means
I’m doing something new,
expanding my experience
and my skill set.
“Once we decide
to make a difference,
it’s easy for doubt to set in.
Because making a difference
causes change,
and change is scary.”
When trying something new,
doing something different,
embrace the fear.
