Fear is always associated with concern over a future outcome before it even occurs. Fears are based on imagined scenarios that may or may not happen. Most imagined fears never happen. The only way to successfully overcome fear is to stay in the present. Focus on what you can do in the present moment and let the outcome take care of itself - win or lose. [2006] - Michael Anthony

The result, however, is usually spectacular. The cost is usually not as much as for new carpeting. [2003] - Robert Irwin
