The Fear Is Worse Than the Thing Itself

A note to young leaders.

Fear sometimes lies, but mostly exaggerates.

The fear of something is always worse than the thing itself.

The fear of failure is worse than the failure itself.

The fear of rejection is worse than the rejection when it comes.

Fear magnifies and multiplies whatever it touches.

Once you’ve had this epiphany, you are free to live boldly.

The coward dies a thousand times; the courageous but once.
