  • The exact process you use to build courage isn't important. What's important is that you consciously do it. Just as your muscles will atrophy if you don't regularly stress them, your courage will atrophy if you don't consistently challenge yourself to face down your fears.

If you aren't regularly exercising your courage, then you are strengthening your fear by default; there is no middle ground.

  • The shutdown itself is bad but not devastating. The real danger will come up in a couple of weeks.
