I heard a great quote last week: “It’s okay to have butterflies in your stomach. Just get them to fly in formation.”
Any time you attempt something new, it’s natural to get scared. It’s normal to feel a bit of fear associated with a risk. But fear is not a bad thing. It keeps you from making foolish decisions. The only time fear becomes bad is when it starts to confuse you and hold you back from making forward progress.
Feel the fear. It’s good. But focus the fear on positivity. Focus the fear on forward progress. And let the butterflies move you toward the goal instead of away from it.
Get them to fly in formation. Okay butterflies, fly in formation! Great post Jonathan. Thank you!
