Another fascinating principle is that often, when we finally develop the courage to meet a problem head on, the problem disappears & we don't have to face it.
As soon as we develop the courage to make the difficult phone call, confront our employee or make the sacrifice, very often it becomes unnecessary. We agonise for weeks over breaking news to our secretary that she'll need to find alternative employment & when we finally hit her with the news, she tells us that she can't wait to leave! Of course, this turn of events doesn't always occur & sometimes we have to bite the bullet!
Also, we often find that once we decide to face a fear, fear evaporates.
No doubt you have had the experience of performing a task that you thought would be difficult or particularly embarrassing. When you jumped in & did it it wasn't half as bad as you anticipated. This particularly applies to telling the truth & owning up to mistakes & misdeeds. How often have you found that thinking about it was so much more painful than doing it?
