We avoid fear, and yet overcomign fear is exactly how we grow.
Yesterday, my wife was scheduled to visit a national television studio for recording her interview on nutrition and women’s health. She prepared for it with zeal but on the morning of the recording, she was fearful and anxious.
I told her that having fear of maiden experiences means you are in the right direction. Situations you fear and yet overcome become stories you tell others with great enthusiasm.
In that sense, fear is a compass that validates your direction. If you are not doing stuff that induces butterflies in your stomach, you are probably trodding a beaten path. Fear means you are doing something that most other people avoid.
Our leaps of faith become stories that we fondly tell others.
No risk, no story.
