In the book
Begin with your body and your bearing. Standing up straight, shoulders back, will not solve the whole problem, but it is a real beginning — it is how you start taking the chaos in hand instead of being taken by it. Get comfortable not knowing. Make peace with being unsure; accept, and even celebrate, what you do not and cannot know, because only by making peace with uncertainty do you stop being ruled by it. Change and uncertainty are permanent features of the flight, and emotional resilience — the steadiness to adapt and keep your composure — is what carries you through them. — Takeoff Into Chaos
