Bornfamous quotes an article with Mark Twain’s words: ‘I’m a very old man. I’ve had lots of problems. Most of them never happened.” That Mark Twain was not only witty, but wise. Then she goes on to talk about facing fear

Who hasn’t faced fear? Who hasn’t procrastinated and ignored and denied something that needed doing and risked not getting it done. Often when the task, the phone call, the requesting of another is done, it was only a fraction of what our fear described. I often say to myself as I’m dialing – what’s the worst that can happen – they can say no. That’s not life threatening. It’s just a no. And yet it’s hard not to put off, push back, ignore, lay aside. To accomplish, you must commit.

As Yoda said “Don’t try. Do.” OK, so it’s a silly source, but good thought. Intent matters. Strong intent accomplishes things both big and small.
