Trust isn’t the absence of shaking. It’s shaking while holding on.

Fear and trust are not opposites. Your hands can shake the entire way through the thing you decided to do anyway, and that counts as faith rather than a failed version of it. People who look calm are often just standing further from the edge. Holding on while afraid is the whole skill.

Quit waiting to feel steady before you move. If a conversation, a tryout, or telling the truth about something has you nervous, go with the shaking and keep it small. Afterward, notice that you were scared and it happened regardless.
