Hell yes. Fear is the mind killer.

John Wayne once said, “courage is being scared to death and saddling up anyway.”

I once told a group of Marines, “Any one of you that isn’t afraid is a liar or an idiot, and neither one belongs in my platoon.”

Fear is completely natural, especially when you’re making such a huge lifestyle change. You’re not talking about a simple change either, you’re talking about leaving your entire life behind and starting a new one. That’s something to be terrified of! But you know what? You can do it. It will be hard, sure. Nothing in life worth having is easy. And unfortunately there is no cure for fear. But no one is going to hand you your dreams. You have to go out and fight for it. Something I tell myself every day when I wake up miserable and in pain, “There’s nothing to it but to do it.” This applies well to dealing with fear. It’s my own version of “saddling up anyway”.
