You know what that is, the list of things you are afraid to do, or people you are afraid to call or tasks you are afraid to begin...we all have a Chicken List, and the only way to overcome the fear that sometimes paralyzes us is to confront it head on and just get it done. Whatever it is, embrace the Nike slogan and 'just do it.'
Sure, it might not turn out well. But so what? Is failure by action really worse than failure by inaction? Are you really better off by not trying something that might not work than by just saying the heck with it and seeing what happens?
Of course nobody wants to go off unprepared for something, or to do something irrational, but that's not what we're talking about here. The Chicken List refers to that thing for which you are ready, willing and able to undertake, but you don't because you're afraid. If you're going to crash, I'd rather flame out trying to make a landing than circle until I run out of gas.
