Here I go again, getting and sharing advice from the comics.

More than a year ago, I wrote about a Baldo comic strip that was quite profound in its message. Read that post.

A recent Louann comic strip had a different, but equally important message. Louann’s brother Brad goes to his father for advice. He says, “I wanna ask Toni out. But I’d be crushed if she said no and terrified if she said yes. So I’m like, paralyzed.”

Dad’s reply is: “Hm. Well, I’ve found that ‘crushed’ and ‘terrified’ pass, but paralyzed goes on and on.”

If you are not taking action because you don’t know what will happen if you do, your situation will never change. Don’t be paralyzed by fear. The only way to achieve your goals is to do something.
