Since you deleted your comment, I can’t respond to it. Therefore:

“Thank you for your comment. I did not mean to be snappy and I apologize if I were. The fear I have is for something I must do, and which means a lot to me, but it has a huge chance of failure. The fear is for disappointment – and that is something that is not easily bested. Please be assured that I value your comment a lot. And I wish you had left it where it was. :)”

Sorry about the deletion

I didn’t realize I was still logged in to that account when I left the post originally. I don’t want that account leaving any comments, generally, because I don’t really want anyone to notice that account. My personality and heart are all invested in THIS account. I did re-post the comment, though, as Crunchybread. Sorry it wasn’t quick enough to avoid any confusion. You must be online at the same time as me. I didn’t know you’d notice the mistake so quickly.

Thank you for your response. I didn’t think you were snappy.

When I saw the brevity of the original post, I was afraid maybe I shouldn’t have answered at all. I hope it wasn’t out of line that I did. I was just trying to give some general advice which has worked for me in the past, sometimes.

If it isn’t relevant to your situation, though, I sincerely hope you are able to find the answer you do need.

Two thoughts on courage spring to mind. I hope they may be more helpful:

From “The Princess Diaries” – “Courage is not the absence of fear, but rather the determination that something is more important than your fear.”

From “Lawrence of Arabia” – He snuffs out a matchstick with his fingers. Someone sees him do it, and tries the same trick, but flinches and pulls away when the still-hot match burns him. He asks what is the secret. “The secret…is in not minding that it hurts.”
