The ego creates fear:

• You don’t need special equipment, but you do need to set aside some time and space.
• Observe the present moment as it is. 
• Let your judgments roll by. 
• Return to observing the present moment as it is. ...

Those that feel they are in control over their lives also feel stress and anxiety, but they use this anxiety differently: their anxiety fuels passion instead of pity, drive in lieu of despair, and tenacity over trepidation.

Don’t avoid it. Don’t let it stand in your way any longer. 

Don’t let nerves trick you into thinking you’re fearful. We all get nerves, but we can still keep moving forward with nerves. Real fear can be overcome through deliberate practice.
