I've found that the first step to not being scared shitless is the realization that there's no you there to be scared. Your true essence is that of the "witness" to all of the madness that may ensue. Nothing more. But in saying that, you also have to let go of all the joy and bliss that may come your way as well. The key is to be like a dream catcher; let thoughts come and let thoughts go, with no identification to the.

And yes, it is easier said than done ;)

Thanks, btw, for the encouragement :)
