A lot of people talk about fear, our propensity for it, and how we might overcome it, but I think Dale Carnegie spoke the truest words about fear that I have ever read:

Inaction breeds doubt and fear. Action breeds confidence and courage. If you want to conquer fear, do not sit home and think about it. Go out and get busy.

It seems like such a simple and logical conclusion. A no-brainer. But when I first read these words, it felt like a revelation. I was floored by the impact they had on me. It was like someone had finally described exactly how the world worked—or, at the very least, how I worked.

I don’t know about you, but I am someone who needs this kind of reminder constantly. On a regular basis. In fact, after first coming across this quote, I printed it and carried it around as a bookmark. For any of you who know me, you know that means I saw it quite often. I eventually copied it to a page of quotes I keep, a document I named “Focus.” This is where I go when I’ve let too much time go by and fear and doubt are threatening to derail my intentions. These words serve as a reminder of just how important my goals are to me. And of the fact that I am the only one who can put forth the effort required to achieve them.

How many times have you found yourself excited about a goal or an intention, only to let time pass without making any progress, leaving you questioning why you aspired to such a ridiculous end in the first place? Maybe you wanted to change careers, move somewhere new, start a business, travel to a place you’ve only heard about, write a book. There are so many things we choose not to do because we’ve convinced ourselves that we can’t—or shouldn’t—do them. Instead, we stick to what we know, telling ourselves it’s better this way, safer, while inwardly wishing we’d had the courage to take the risk.

Fear, if you let it, will win out every time. Most of us are far better at lying low than we are at getting uncomfortable. The only way to fight fear, the best way, is by doing. Maybe you won’t always end up with the outcome you hoped for, but you’ll have a little more confidence and courage for having tried.

Dale’s words are simple, really. The hard part is remembering them and making them part of the way we live our lives.
