he explained.
Illustrating his method, Cruise shared that whenever fear arises, he doesn’t dwell on it but instead immediately begins taking action. He further clarified,
“Really the fear you feel is the unknown it’s what you don’t know and just kind of recognize that its okay not to know and work towards a knowingness of things and the only way to do it is not to be in your head on it.”
