Think of fear as a 2-year-old child who doesn't want to go grocery shopping with you. Because you must buy groceries, you'll just have to take the two year old with you. Fear is no different. In other words, acknowledge that fear exists but don't let it keep you from doing important tasks.

The bottom line is that you are the one who is creating your life the way it is. The life you currently live is the result of all your past thoughts and actions. You are in charge of your current thoughts and your present feelings.

Remember, there is no perfect time for anything. There is only now.

Our feelings are a feedback mechanism to us about whether we're on track or not, whether we're on course or off course.

Now, when anything 'bad' happens, I remember that everything that ever happens to me has within it the seeds of something better. I look for the upside rather than the downside. I ask myself, 'Where's the greater benefit in this event?'

Every time you take a risk or move out of your comfort zone, you have a great opportunity to learn more about yourself and your capacity.

If you love your work, if you enjoy it, you're already a success.
