Fearless

Thursday, October 17

“They’re fearless.”

We hear this all the time about people who achieve great things or take big risks. They’re fearless.

I don’t buy it. They don’t lack fear. They aren’t absent of fear

They have fear. A lot of it or a little of it, who knows? But their accomplishments have nothing to do with the amount of fear they feel. They have everything to do with what they do with that fear, with the power they give that fear.

The key is that they don’t shy away from the fear. They don’t bow down to the fear. They don’t run from the fear. They aren’t cowards. They are courageous. They see and hear and feel the fear, and they show up anyway.

Fear is normal. What we do with it is what matters.

Cowards or courageous. The choice of who we will be each day is up to us.
