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”.
