Quote

For me, personally, when I'm afraid of something - when you're afraid of something, normally you try to go away, you try to avoid it. Instead of avoiding it, to overcome your fear, I believe you need to embrace it.

The secret is two fold: make sure your approach is consistent and steady so that you can maintain the progress you're making as your journey continues.
