I have often conducted my life this way - to the complete amazement of close friends and family. I guess I've just always known that fear can be too paralyzing and that if I let fear dictate what I would do/not do, then nothing would ever change - and I'm just not happy with that thought. One step at a time! Thanks for writing about this!

One of my favorite quotes is from Elisabeth Elliot: Do the next thing. I've also found that when I just force myself to do something to move forward and break the inertia, that generally things start moving forward much more easily. First time leaving a comment here!
