  I'm your host, Hannah McGivern, And let's dive into today's
• 0:12
  quote from Dale Carnegie, author of the classic book How to Win
• 0:18
  Friends and Influence People. And this is one of my favorite
• 0:21
  books. He once said in action breeds
• 0:25
  doubt and fear, Action breeds confidence and courage.
• 0:29
  If you want to conquer fear, do not sit home and think about it.
• 0:34
  Go out and get busy. 2 equations here.
• 0:39
  Pay particular attention to that.
• 0:42
  Inaction equals doubt and fear. Action equals confidence and
• 0:47
  courage. Most people think it works the
• 0:50
  opposite way. They think once I'm confident,
• 0:54
  then I'll take some action. Once I'm not afraid, then I'll
• 0:58
  do the thing Carnegie's telling us.
• 1:00
  We've got it backwards. You don't wait for confidence to
• 1:03
  act. You act and confidence shows up
• 1:06
  afterwards. You don't wait for fear to
• 1:09
  disappear before you move. You move, and courage builds
• 1:13
  itself through that movement. Here's why.
• 1:18
  When you sit at home thinking about the thing you're afraid
• 1:21
  of, your mind creates worst case scenarios.
• 1:25
  It amplifies the risk. It manufacturers problems that
• 1:29
  don't really exist in action, gives fear room to grow.
• 1:35
  But when you get busy, you actually take action.
• 1:41
  Reality replaces imagination. You discover the thing you
• 1:45
  feared wasn't as bad as you thought.
• 1:48
  You learn. You adapt.
• 1:50
  You build evidence that you can handle it.
• 1:53
  That evidence becomes confidence.
• 1:56
  That movement becomes courage. Carnegie isn't saying ignore
• 2:01
  your fear. He's saying the only way to
• 2:03
  conquer it is through taking action.
• 2:07
  You can't think your way out of fear.
• 2:09
  You have to act your way out. So here's the question.
• 2:13
  What are you sitting at home thinking about right now?
• 2:17
  What fear is growing because you're not moving?
• 2:20
  Stop thinking. Go out and get busy because
• 2:24
  action is the only cure for fear.
• 2:27
  That's it for today. I'm Andrew McGivern, signing off
• 2:30
  for now, but I'll be back tomorrow.
