I’ve spent the last few years learning about taking risks, controlling my mindset, and understanding how to productively use failure. Recently, I’ve been reading about and learning about the lives of successful athletes, actors, business people, politicians, musicians and many others. What I’ve noticed is that many of them speak about fear and what they do in the face of fear.
We are often challenged ourselves to be fearless. But can we ever be completely without fear? Think about this quote from Tim Ferriss- “It’s not about being fearless but instead we have to be better at fear analysis.” FEAR ANALYSIS-Don’t you love this? Think about it. When something makes us fearful, it’s okay! In fact, a little fear is a good thing. What makes the difference is how we analyze the fear. When we are really good at “fear analysis” we are able to slow down, think about the reality of a situation and make an informed decision. Being fearless implies being reckless. Analyzing fear implies not letting fear consume us but using it help us make the best choice. Check out Tim Ferriss’ interview on Jon Gordon’s Positive U Podcast to learn more about his take on fear!
