Yes, I hate always feeling like the "Cowardly Lion" on The Wizard of Oz. I have gone through the wind, and all through life fearing everything before i actually experience The Real Thing. But in the end living life isn't all that scary. It's more scary hiding in the closet and getting muscle cramps than running the 440 in record time because I practiced daily and sometimes even prayed to be on time, and it worked too....".A bit gained but all in a responsible fashion, and in the end was all worth the tad of the bit gained....."
