O n e of the greatest fears is that of the u n k n o w n . This can be rem-
edied by gathering additional knowledge. Confronting fears head-on
can be helpful, but if your anxiety is largely due to ignorance or lack
of experience, y o u may be able to reduce or eliminate it simply by
educating yourself.
Suppose y o u ' r e afraid to leave your h o m e t o w n and m o v e to a
new city, even though y o u ' d love to have the experience. M a y b e the
main reason for your hesitation is ignorance. The w h o l e notion seems
overwhelming because y o u don't know w h a t to expect. But y o u can
learn w h a t y o u need to know by reading Websites, connecting with
residents of other cities, and taking short trips. The knowledge y o u
acquire will help y o u act more courageously, and also intelligently.
It's amazing h o w m a n y opportunities we d e n y ourselves due to
lack of knowledge or experience. In this golden information a g e , "I
don't k n o w " is simply not a valid excuse. All the information y o u need
is readily accessible on the Internet, in inexpensive books, or in other
people's minds. If ignorance is holding y o u back in any area of your
life, then take the initiative and educate yourself.
