The one big fear I have is the fear of swimming in the sea. I grew up in the 1970s and we had this movie called Jaws. Remember that? Watching that completely freaked me out. And so for 40 years, I never knew how to swim.

But on my 40th birthday, I signed on for my first swimming class.

So how did I make the first move even while I was bone-chillingly terrified? I could either choose to remain there, or decide to make the simplest step to improve. And that's what I did - even if it's just blowing bubbles underwater.
