Hollywood star Tom Cruise once spoke about how he achieves a goal once he sets his eyes on it. An old video of the actor has resurfaced on the Internet, and it shows him breaking down his process.
He said, “Don't be so worried if you're afraid. It's like, ‘Okay, I feel it, that's fine’. Here's the thing. You just have to write down your dream and then write down a list of how you accomplish that? What do I need to do? What do I need to learn to be able to accomplish those goals? And that's, that's what I do. I don't just sit there and worry about it. I just start doing it. And don't be so worried if you're afraid. That's fine. Just keep working through it. Really, the fear you feel is the unknown. It's what you don't know. And just kind of recognize that, that it's okay not to know. And work towards a knowingness of things”.
