There are certain things that are true that are uncomfortable, and we don't like talking about these things because they make us think about things that are very uncomfortable about ourselves, our family, and our business associates. This week, I've been talking about five of these life truths that we just try to ignore. I've pointed out some things that are very uncomfortable, and I hope that you will forgive me for that, but I have one more to present, and I'll do that right after this.

Fear is very real. We all have things that we are afraid of, situations that we dread, projects that we don't want to do because they are scary, and that is okay. But something changes the moment you act and actually do something about your fear. You make the telephone call, you send the hard email, you put the offer out there, and suddenly the fear shrinks.
