Uncertainty and the prospect of failure can be extremely scary - most people will choose unhappiness 
over uncertainty 
.
However, that might mean a prolonged sense of unhappiness and unfulfilment for you, or even for the people around you.
Tim Ferris’ Fear Setting Exercise (Here’s a free template!) is a great way of rationalising your fears and feelings of insecurity. According to this exercise, there are just 3 simple steps you can take to rationalise your fears.
Define the fear: List the worst thing that could happen 
Prevent: List how you can stop the above bad things from happening 
Repair: If the worst happens, list how to repair each bad thing 
Try the Fear-Setting Exercise, and see what comes out of it! You may also find out more about this exercise here.
