Be brave.
I realize this might sound heartless, but most of the things you’re scared of don’t exist. Everyone has fears that, once said out loud, seem ridiculous. (Let me just clear up some of the more common worries: You will not die alone. No one is laughing at you. Nobody is plotting your demise. You are not a fraud. Chances are, your fly is up.) Sure, your worries are specific, but they are not unique. Be brave, my beloved. I know you’ve got balls! Take a chance, go out on a limb. How will you do anything if you don’t start by doing something?
Today remind yourself: Be brave.
