avoid doing stupid things particularly in our younger years when we may have felt a little more invulnerable to the dangers of the world so it's not that fear is a bad thing and so sometimes our fear is alerting us to a legitimate danger you know don't dive into that river you don't know how deep it is don't you know run across the freeway don't invest money with this person because something's coming up you've got this feeling like they're just not to be trusted so to be clear fear isn't the enemy

It is not about fear eradication. It's about fear management and being able to discern what fears are serving me, what fears are enabling me to use my time and my talents and my energy toward things that enrich my life and what fears are actually keeping me from doing those very things.

You're afraid of the sting of rejection. And it's that, and it's actually not the rejection itself. It's what we make it mean that I'm not good enough. If you knew that, you know, if you didn't, if we didn't internalize that rejection as a judgment that we are inadequate, that we're not cute enough, that we're not popular enough, that we're not smart enough. then we would just ask them.

We'd go, hey, do you want to go out on a date? And if they said no, you go, oh, well, whatever. But we don't do that because we just want to avoid the chance of them saying, no, thank you, or thanks, but no thanks, and like, oh. I'm not good enough. And I think, you know, this can apply to people who are 16 years old and they want to invite someone to the prom.

And it can apply to someone, I've got friends who are 56 years old and they're like, oh, I'd really like to meet someone. But, oh, and it's like, I don't want to have to feel the uncomfortable emotions that may come my way if I do put myself out there. It could be applying for another job. It could be inviting someone on a date.

It could be just a platonic, reaching out to someone you'd like to get to know better. And so, we often hold back. Procrastination is just a way to avoid, it's a tactic to avoid the discomfort of trying something and not doing well.

Well, people will rarely say, I don't want to feel those emotions. Actually, what they'll usually say is, I'm just too busy. Or there'll be some other reason. It's not always that, oh, I don't want to feel those emotions. It's like, oh, no, it's just not the right time. Or it's not so bad right now. And we'll come up with a whole lot of other reasons that give us air cover.

I've got to lose my pride a little bit. Like, I don't want to feel that way. And then I'm like, what have you got to gain? And, you know, we don't know what we don't experience when we don't be brave, right?
