What are you afraid of?

Have you ever listed out the things that scare you?

Probably not.

So that is what I am going to ask you to do now.

List out some of the things you fear.

Could be heights.

Could be approaching the opposite sex and asking them on a date.

Could be you are afraid to ask you manager for a pay raise.

No matter what they are, you, me, we...all have fears.

What separates us is our willingness to conquer the fears that we each have.

Sometimes you may let your fear cripple you.

Other times you may use the fear as fuel, conquer it the fear, and then build momentum to help you in other areas of your life.

Now that you have your list of fears, I want you to make a second list.

A list of fears you have conquered over the course of your lifetime.

Why did you conquer them? Yet, right now you are most likely allowing some of your fears to linger?

Ponder this.

Then what I would like you to do is to use your current fears as your guide for your future.

The path that scares you? Yeahhhhhhh that is the path that you MUST TAKE.

That is what life is about.

The gold comes to you along the process of conquering each and every fear that consumes you.

In essence, the fear is your guide to the good life.

Stop running from your fear.

And instead...

make it your friend.

p.s. today I am grateful for fear. It literally makes life exhilarating to feel my heart beating super fast when I am afraid of something, and then I do it, and I become overwhelmed with a sensation that reminds me of how blessed I am to be alive.
