Oddly enough, when you cast a light onto your fear, a few things become clear:
- The actual potential loss isn’t as high as it felt
- The actual probability of a loss isn’t as likely as it felt
- There are actual contingency plans which would make the risk far smaller which wasn’t how it felt
Fear is a feeling. And, it’s an important one too. It helps our plans become even more bullet proof.
But… to truly use it well, you need to define it.
