One instance came to mind immediately. I had an excellent job with Sun Microsystems about 12 years ago. I was offered another job with more money, prestige, etc - but I would have to report to a guy I couldn't tolerate. After about a month, I turned the job down. This meant I would have to find another job or leave the company. Within 30 days I'd found a far better job in the company with an overseas posting and international scope. That never would have happened if I had succumbed to fear and failed to ask for what I really want. Jan All of my greatest breakthroughs in life occurred when I simply acted in spite of my fears.
