That metaphor you shared is perfect. If your dream (the crystal clear water) is worth it, you'll find a way to overcome your fear. Unfortunately, some people get off the board and give up and others just waste time standing there wishing they had the confidence to dive in. Fear is normal as long as it isn’t over-exaggerated.

Kick it OUT. Harder than that. When it comes back knocking at the door, it will, be polite and firm, or courageous and considerate, whatever you want to call it ... as long as you don't let it back into the house. If you win, fear loses. It fears losing as much as you do. The more you win, the harder fear knocks. It might attempt to come in thru the bathroom window :-) Many make the mistake, like I did, to nurse their fears as if they were babies. Wake up in the morning, remember them, feed them ... There's a better choice. Read Susan Jeffer's FeelTheFearAndDoItAnyway instead :-) Let the fear-baby slowly starve to death while you're reading the book.

I think this is the situation with me. I have so much fear, I'm lost.
