doing it scared and doing it anyways

from The Lighthouse Letters

I DID SOMETHING SCARY!For YEARS I have been telling myself that I would get back into standup comedy and for YEARS I have been denying myself the joy of performing onstage as a comedian. I made it SO easy for myself to quit, and then kept wondering why I hadn't done stand up at all yet. I finally faced my fears, and did it scared. And, it turns out, doing it scared will give you the confidence you need that magically breaks you out of the funk you were in and suddenly things start lining up. I don't know how the magic works, only that it does. Do it scared.This letter goes out to all you wayward ships who have a dream but are afraid. You're not alone, and I'm here to tell you to do it scared. Keep doing it scared. It means you're doing it right.
