Have you wanted to take a leap?
 
Make a change?
 
Do something you may even know you really want to do but it is super scary?
 
Then you take that step and – wow – the sun is still shining, the trees are still standing and you made it to the other side.
 
Only now, you know yourself as someone who can face those small and big fears.
 
You know yourself as a person with courage.
 
You may find that step was not as scary as you thought it might be.
 
Sometimes it is not even the big things that seem like a big deal.
 
Giving challenging news, apologizing or finding out at your annual physical you need to get a shot might all bring a sense of dread.
 
Until we get on with it.
 
And remember, it may not actually be as scary as you think.
