Fear

"You must do everything that frightens you, JR. Everything. I'm not taling about risking your life, but everything else. Think about fear, decide right now how you're going to deal with fear, because fear is going to be the great issue of your life, I promise you. Fear will be the fuel for all your success, and the root cause of all your failures, and the underlying dilemma in every story you tell yourself about yourself. And the only chance you'll have against fear? Follow it. Steer by it. Don't think of fear as the villian. Think of fear as your guide, your pathfinder-your Natty Bumppo."
-excerpt from The Tender Bar
