In the mist dark figures move and twist (Iron Maiden)

Currently, a friend of mine is looking the beast in the eye.

My advice? Listen to Dan Rockwell on the subject. I think he's spot on:
  • Create four options before choosing one path forward.
  • Believe in your ability to learn, grow, and adapt.
  • Remember times when you rose up and faced big challenges in the past.
  • Respond to your fear of losing by developing strategies and taking aggressive action.  
  • Think more about taking action than doing everything perfectly.
  • Hang with men and women of valor. Listen to people with battle scars. Doers are better than dreamers when it comes to looking the beast in the eye.
  • Worry more about the next play and less about winning.
Feel the fear and do it anyway. Don't overthink it. Just do it.

Something like that.
