What is stopping you from taking the next step?
Is it a real fear, that is perfectly reasonable?

On the other hand, if your fear is based on a "what if" about something that isn't likely to happen or is not actually that significant, then you need to think about why it is causing you hesitation.

And remember, the brave person doesn't eliminate fear, they just act in spite of fear.
yeah, yeah, of course, that's all true! and it's so easy to just Generalize this across the entire spectrum of human achievements, right

Then, the 'moment-of-truth' arrives, lol -> is she gonna
skate... this move NOW yet, or what

fear of face-planting, yet again! - are our shock-absorbers tensile enuf??, maybe Focusing on the next... move after this one, is the Ticket to success...
