We are not talking about shyness in social situations here, although in some cases, this is what that is preventing you from taking that step, you know? We are talking about becoming unstuck of all mental consciousness, getting free off all that's going on in the little corner of the brain I like to call 'over-thinksphere'.

In the Hagakure, it says, "A bird does not know why it is flying or how it is flying, it simple flies."

Don't think too much about some things in life. The more you think, the thicker trap you are building for yourself.

If fear is what is making you hold off, then just think over the reasons for your fear. Talk to your friends about your fear. Test out the scenarios - the what ifs.

Write your fears down. Build issues trees - what is causing your fear? What is causing the causes themselves?

Whatever it is, just let go and do your stuff.
