Fear. We all have it.
It’s hard wired into us. It’s dialed into the oldest part of our brains, into our old reptilian brains.
It’s there to keep us safe.
When we hunted on the savanna, it kept us alert, it kept us on watch for the lions and woolly mammoths who might have wanted us for lunch.
Happily most of us don’t need to worry about lions and woolly mammoths.
But that old familiar fear designed to keep us safe now keeps us from living our very best lives.
It keeps us from trying new things; it keeps us from exploring the unknown.
We avoid risking.
We avoid failing.
We play small.
When we move beyond our fear, beyond our comfort zones, that’s were the magic happens, that’s where the excitement is… that’s where we grow… that’s where the adventures are… .
Out there on the edge.
Eleanor Roosevelt said, “Do one think that scares you every day.”
Fear never goes away. And our very best lives are just on the other side of fear.
So, if you don’t want to play small; if you want a big life; if you want to make a difference; if you want to make an impact in the world; then make friends with your fear. Feel the fear. And do it anyway.
What edge will you explore?
