life’s dream• Bravery is not
required• Key is to take a risk• Every project or quest
is a confrontation with fears

Lesson 2: Fear is healthy!
• Fear exists for a reason – it keeps us alive & safe
• Only the insane don’t have some fear
• Fear can be…– Physical– Psychological– Social

Lesson 3: Share the fear
• Everybody else is scared too
• Their fears may be different than yours
• Admit yours & you’ll be amazed at who else is scared
• This builds the support network

Lesson 7: Take a holiday!
• You can’t keep up the pressure indefinitely
