What metaphor does Ed Mylett use to explain facing fear?
Carl Edwards, he was a NASCAR driver. He said the most difficult part is when you're driving and there's a crash in front of you and you're doing 150 miles an hour and all you can see is a smoke cloud. And it's scary because you don't know what's on the other side. You could be going headlong into a car that's already crashed at 180 miles an hour and you don't know. And what you got to do is drive right through it. He said, you got to keep looking ahead. You can't flinch when there's an accident in front of you. You can't flinch where there's smoke and you can't see what's on the other side. You got to drive right through it. And I remember it firing me up thinking, man, that's life.
How can confronting fear lead to personal growth?
Man, that's success. Sometimes you can't see where you're going. You got to drive right through it, not knowing what's on the other side. And have the faith and the confidence that when you get to the other side, you will figure it out. That there'll be a blessing and a gift. That you'll be protected. And you barrel through it.
And when you come out on the other side, I guarantee you're going to be stronger than you ever thought possible.
Listen, I know it's going to be scary. If it scares you, it's worth it.
Why is it important to run towards what scares you?
When you run from it, it gets scarier. You want to run from it? No, dude, you run to it. You run to what scares you, and you confront it, and you face it, and you dance with it. You got to take that thing out. You got to take the breath out.
Go after it. Go get it. Don't run from it no more. Go get it. You got to go get it. Because what that does, that tension produces greatness. Stop running from it. Run to it. The greats, they get to it. They go through it. And the harder it is, the better. When you have fear, fear makes you think in ways you shouldn't be thinking. When you have fear, fear makes you speak in a certain way. When you have fear, uh-uh, uh-uh, not this time.
What mindset is necessary to overcome challenges?
I'm not listening to that voice. I'm not listening to fear. Fear ain't real. Fear, you are not going to stop me. I've got too far. I've come too far to give up now. I'm going to move my faith. When you have faith, you just believe and it'll happen. This boy went from where he is back in the day to where I am now because of fame. I activated my fame. Fame is the substance of things hardcore, the evidence of things I see. I ain't got to see it out here as long as I can see it here and here. It's my reality. You've got to believe in yourself.
You've got to believe in your abilities, your ideas, unquestionably. You've got to be ignorant to not know what you can't do. Don't rule anything out for you. You've got to believe in yourself. You've got to stand up. You can't talk out now.
How does belief in oneself impact success?
You can't fold now. See, sometimes you have to talk to yourself. It might be the most intelligent conversation you will ever have. That radical change, it doesn't happen overnight. You can make the decision, but you've got to stay on top of yourself every day to come from and live your life from a place of power, courage, and faith, as opposed to being a volunteer victim, as most people are. I need you to stand firm the next time you go through a trauma treatment.
You break that thing down. You dissect it. Don't let it dissect you. You dissect it. And when you dissect it, you look for the blessing in it. Because there is a blessing in every trial. In every situation, there is a blessing. Stop running from it. Rethink it. Stop looking at it as something negative. It's not negative. It's positive. It can teach you. Learn from it. Something about you needs to grow. And that trial is only there to propel you to your greatness. Don't get consumed with it. Don't get consumed with it. Don't run from it. Why? Because when you deal with it, at the end of dealing with this thing, there's going to be value that you've never had. There's going to be experience that you've never had.
There's going to be a wealth of knowledge you've never had before. There's going to be abilities you've never had before.
What strategies can help build self-esteem and confidence?
Some of the things that you've been dreaming about. Some of the things that you've been wanting.
