“Courage is resistance to fear, mastery of fear, not absence of fear.”
—Mark Twain
But if you 
expect
fear, you can approach it in a compassionate manner. It helps to remember that when
we want to change, rational thoughts don’t always guide actions, and fear can well up in the most ordinary
of places. Let’s say that you’ve been late to work during the last couple of weeks. One morning, you wake
up and make a very rational resolution: Today will be the day you finally arrive at the office on time. But
it’s possible that fears you’re not even aware of—perhaps of confronting a dominating co-worker—will
stall your brain in its tracks, leading you to make an extra phone call or do one more load of laundry
before leaving the house. In effect, fear can cause you unconsciously to sabotage your best intentions.
Don’t let these common roadblocks to change make you feel so guilty or frustrated that you give up your
attempts to improve. Conflict is a condition of being human; if people could control their actions easily,
we’d be a much gentler species, and the front page of the morning newspaper would look a lot different.
Instead, use times of difficulty to remember that fear is the body’s gift, alerting us to a challenge. The
more we care about something, the more we dream, the more fear shows up. Thinking about fear in this
way can help us feel less distraught. During the rough patches, understanding that fear is normal, and a
natural sign of ambition, makes us more likely to hold on to hope and optimism—qualities that increase
our willingness to take the kinds of small steps that slip right past the fear. Instead of raging at ourselves
for being late yet again, or sadly concluding that we are simply incapable of arriving at work on time, we
can gently acknowledge the fear and its effects on us. Then we can quietly and gingerly take a small step
such as simply 
imagining
a pleasant conversation with the difficult co-worker. Eventually, small steps
like these will build fresh habits in our brains. In the coming chapters, I’ll show you the small steps of
kaizen in detail. With these, fear may be faced, and even transformed.
