Nothing wrong with acknowledging the fear, Z. It's what you then DO, despite the fear, that will define your character.

Once, during my sitch, someone posted to me that I was "courageous." I replied back "Are you kidding? I WAS SCARED TO DEATH!"

And they wrote back "Yeah, but you did it anyway. 'Courage' is when you're absolutely terrified, but you act anyway."
