I read a story in “Awaken the Giant Within” by Tony Robbins. In the Formula racing school, the instructor put students in a “skid car” — which has a computer built into it with hydraulic lifts that can pull any wheel off the ground on a moment's signal from the instructor. They teach the #1 fundamental with it: Focus on where you want to go, not on what you fear. When the driver skids out of control, the instinct is to look at the wall. But if you focus on the wall, you'll end up hitting it. The lesson is resist the fear, have faith, and focus on where you want to go. Then your actions will take you in that direction.
You decide where to focus. Change your mental state away from fear. Then you are more likely to go where you want to go.
