Have you ever heard the phrase "๐๐จ ๐ข๐ญ ๐๐๐ซ๐๐ข๐"?
It may sound easier than it actually is, but taking action despite your fears can lead to some amazing outcomes.
Here's a quick story:
I first saw Joy Joe at the Web 3 Lagos Conference.
She stood out as a smart, confident, and beautiful person. I wanted to get to know her and her interests.
During a break, I saw her heading for the exit. I hesitated, held back by shyness, fear of rejection, and not knowing how to introduce myself because I was new to the web 3 world. But then I remembered a valuable lesson from my dad: "What's the worst that can happen?" With that in mind, I approached her, even though I was nervous and forgot how to speak properly.
To my surprise, our conversation flowed naturally, and that one connection opened doors to new opportunities.
David Adefunmilayo, too, started something (Efico ) without having everything figured out, and it grew beyond his expectations.
A favorite scripture of mine is Joshua 1:9: "Be strong and courageous! Do not be afraid or discouraged. For the Lord your God is with you wherever you go." Courage isn't the absence of fear but the triumph over it.
Starting something when you're afraid has several benefits:

Facing your fears builds courage and resilience, breaking the fear cycle.

Stepping out of your comfort zone fosters self-improvement and skill development.

Waiting until you're not afraid may cause you to miss opportunities. Sometimes, you must act even when it's scary.
โ ๐๐ฏ๐จ๐ข๐๐ข๐ง๐ ๐ซ๐๐ ๐ซ๐๐ญ๐ฌ:
Taking action reduces the likelihood of regretting inaction later.
โ ๐๐จ๐จ๐ฌ๐ญ๐ข๐ง๐ ๐๐จ๐ง๐๐ข๐๐๐ง๐๐:
As you face fears and accomplish things, your confidence grows.
In summary, give your all to whatever you do, even if it means doing it while afraid. Face your fears head-on and have a fruitful week!
