“He who is not everyday conquering some fear has not learned the secret of life.” -Ralph Waldo Emerson
We have a unique relationship with the emotion of fear in our human experience. It is one of the most powerful forces on this planet. Dictators have come to power by manipulating it… Genocides have run their course by the exploitation of it…
Yet the presence of fear has saturated any and all meaningful endeavors of the most influential leaders.
Show me someone who has accomplished anything significant, and I will show you someone who has experienced intense levels of fear.
Fear is powerful.
But do you know what is more powerful?
Our relationship to it. What we do with it.
Whatever affect fear has had on your life to this point, I fully believe that today, you will have an opportunity to flip the script.
Instead of crippling you, it can inspire you.
Instead of silencing you, it can empower you.
Instead of panicking you, it can ground you.
How can you achieve this relationship to fear?
Maybe it’s finally believing that anything worth accomplishing, experiencing in life will feel like running towards your fear.
Not fearing less… but understanding that there is reward on the other side.
