If it scares you, it's probably worth doing. Plus, the benefit to you will be in proportion to that fear.
Your fear of risk keeps you safe. In a world where physical harm is the only danger, that's fine. But when it comes to:
- performing stand-up comedy
- going for a job interview
- asking someone out on a date
- giving a presentation to the whole company
- speaking up in a meeting
- disagreeing with someone with much higher status than you
...you're in no real danger whatsoever.
Embarrassment? Pfff.
Rejection? You can handle it.
Take the risk. Learn. Grow.
