Everyone whoās ever accomplished anything meaningful had to face fear first.
Not avoid it. Not pretend.
But feel it fully, take action, and move through it.
People say, āFake it till you make it,ā but I believe:
Fear it until you clear it.
And how do you know if youāve cleared it?
You stop avoiding itā¦ and start cheering it.
When fear becomes your compass, not your cage.
You start seeking your next fearābecause you know it fuels growth.
To FAIL might be the First Attempt In Learning.
So maybe FEAR is simply the:
First Emotion Amid Resistance. ā¤ļø
In The War of Art, Pressfield calls Resistance the unseen force that rises whenever we dare to grow, create, or step into purpose.
And this fearāthis resistanceāfeels real.
Itās that lightning chill up your spine, the muscle-freezing doubt, the breath you canāt catch.
Some fear comes from trauma. Some from conditioning. Some from ancestral programming.
āØ In reality, Iām scared out of my mind most days. š³
What if my words of wisdom don't help anyone?
What if the path I've chosen won't support my family?
What if the vision I've imagined and crafted a plan for doesn't materialize?
Iāve chosen to live in the frightening cloud of uncertaintyārather than exist in the comfortable fog of complacency, self-ignorance, and never trying. š¤ļø
You either choose your fear, or it chooses you.
Ask yourself: Which frightens you more?
ā Failureāor never exploring your potential?
ā Rejectionāor the regret of not taking action?
ā Discomfortāor disconnection from your purpose?
Verus Global masterfully teaches us:
āYou move toward your focus and your mind doesnāt hear donāt.ā
The truth isāif you're focused on fearing failure, you'll succeed at playing small.
ā But what if you feared joy?
ā Feared fulfillment?
ā Feared success?
That's the kind of fear worth chasing.
š” Marianne Williamson once wrote:
āOur deepest fear is not that we are inadequate.
Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure.
It is our light, not our darkness, that most frightens us...
Your playing small doesnāt serve the world...
As we let our own light shine, we unconsciously give others permission to do the same.
As we are liberated from our own fear, our presence automatically liberates others.ā
So today, ask yourself:
What path toward your dreams scares you the most?
Thatās likely the exact direction your soul needs to spark growth.š„š„š
The Golden Trifecta of FEAR
1ļøā£ Take that daring shot.
2ļøā£ Inhale that bold breath.
3ļøā£ Make that uncertain step.
š Then repeatāwith love, service, and action.
And remember: we are always stronger when we face FEAR together. š¤
And watch how fast those clouds of uncertainty clear,
as the strength of your inner light burns away fear. āļø
Because the truth is this:
āYou miss 100% of the shots you donāt take.ā ā Wayne Gretzky šÆ
