I will never get tired of repeating this because it’s so important. Waiting until we’re ready means we will never be ready. Waiting until we’re ready means that we’re waiting for the fear to go away. THE FEAR WILL NEVER GO AWAY. If we want to accomplish something with our lives, even if it’s just to live a more authentic one, we need to be ready in spite of fear.
“Henry Fonda was still throwing up before every performance, even when he was seventy-five. In other words, fear doesn’t go away. The warrior and the artist live by the same code of necessity, which dictates that the battle must be fought anew every day.”
~ Steven Pressfield, The War Of Art: Winning the Inner Creative Battle
