Things in business are only scary until you turn them around and they make sense. The scary comes from the unknown. Once you dissect what’s what the light breaks through and you realize it’s not such a mystery.
For me doing HTML coding is scary while friends who excel in this skill find it relaxing. When I dissect bits of HTML to make sense of why doing “this” will give me “that” I can see how the puzzle fits together. And then the magic can happen.
I’ll bet you can think a few things that you’ve put off because they seemed too scary to tackle. Pick one today. Start small by breaking it into smaller segments to learn, practice, or explore. As you master that small chunk add in the next segment. Soon you’ll have eaten that whole elephant, bite by bite, and conquered the scary.
Looking back it’s easy to see why it got in the way but the view from this side is empowering. The added confidence from conquering this thing will make you feel like you’re standing ten feet tall.
