For some of us, just saying, "feel the fear and do it anyways" is just not enough. Fortunately, I found a chant from an Indian Sage or Guru, whichever title you would prefer. Start by getting into a meditative position and we can begin. It starts out with:
OH …
Next we add.
WHAT THE HECK…
Finally
GO FOR IT ANYWAY!
OK, I know that was more of a joke than anything, but think about that the next time you get to a point where fear is stopping you, just recite that to yourself, Oh What the Heck, Go for it anyway. You can do it in the fun India Guru style to make it more memorable as well as a way to have fun with yourself over letting a little fear get in the way.
We can be overwhelmed and just freeze up. This is natural, so go with it and realize this is a great gift that is going to keep you from catastrophic failure. They say the best way to take a journey of 1000 miles is ONE STEP AT A TIME. We have to take the actions that are causing us to be overwhelmed or frozen and build up to it slowly.
