A good idea if not acted upon produces terrible psychological pain. But a good idea acted upon brings enormous mental satisfaction. Got a good idea? Then do something about it.

To increase fear--wait, put off, postpone.
You gain strength, courage, and confidence by every experience in which you really stop to look fear in the face....

You must do the thing you think you cannot do.
To conquer fear is the best way to gain your self-confidence.
