i think a lot of people fear the truth (not the truth(tm), but really the truth). that and rejection. if you can overcome those two things you have balls of steel....
I like how another personal growth trainer said it once: What other people think of you is none of your business.
LOL, Phantom! That is SO true!!! I particularly wouldn't want say....a serial killer to know what I thought about him...hehehehA really great book is Feal the Fear and Do It Anyway, by Susan Jeffers. She also has it on cassette (found it at the library)
