Nerves are nothing but a signpost, my love, only the crossroads of adventure and fear. Choose adventure. It is the only way to grow.
Nerves are a good signal, they show that you are at a new frontier and that is exciting too. Only through these travels can we unravel our talents and gifts.
Nerves are a signal of truth of what you value, of what you need and cherish... and often of what you want so much that the idea of not winning brings on those telltale tremors. Always ask yourself what the nerves are telling you... it is one important way your body speaks.
When I am nervous it is because what I am doing matters and I feel the need to get it right. Yet that is also the motivation I need to conquer it and move onwards at a good pace.
