"Do
the thing you fear, and the death of fear is certain."
- Ralph
Waldo Emerson, Poet
Michael Neill a former coaching classmate of mine wrote this recently:
"Whatever it is
you're trying to achieve, ask yourself what you would do if you weren't afraid.
Don't worry about whether or not you actually are or aren't afraid - just
notice your answers, and notice which ones you want to act on."
As I have written elsewhere, there is a tremendous difference between feeling the fear and doing it anyway, and the freedom which comes from finding that space in yourself which is beyond fear. And the more time you spend living beyond fear, the sooner the answer to 'What would I do if I wasn't afraid?' will become 'Exactly what I'm doing now.'"
Thank you Michael. As I have written elsewhere, there is a tremendous difference between feeling the fear and doing it anyway, and the freedom which comes from finding that space in yourself which is beyond fear. And the more time you spend living beyond fear, the sooner the answer to 'What would I do if I wasn't afraid?' will become 'Exactly what I'm doing now.'"
All the best,
Rick Wallace
