Give yourself a pep talk, the way you'd give a pep talk to a buddy who was about to make a huge step.

No one is going to make that step for you, after all.

And being scared shitless is fine! It means you're alive. It's a damn cliché, but life is too short to be held back, or to hold yourself back.

Something else that might help is enlisting the support of friends. You could also test waters by doing something that's out of your comfort zone, maybe you'll gain some confidence from it. For example, if public speaking scares the shit out of you, try public speaking until you're somewhat decent at it.

One thing that "made me" go forward with my life... well, I suppose it was a combination of things. A HUGE part was that I gave myself permission to do what I know I needed to do. I'd been prepping myself too, so when the opportunity came along, I seized it.

Give yourself permission to do what you need to do, if you haven't yet done so.
