While I don’t love to get on soapboxes, I saw something cross my inbox and I had to say something. I got an email from someone talking about why they love their fear. They said they hoped they never lost their fear because it drove them in their business. But I believe that this is dirty fuel for your business.
“Why I Love My Fear”
What do I fear? I fear stagnation and lack of progress. I fear never reaching my potential and being average. I fear being forgotten…the past…Yesterday’s news. I fear giving up and being passed by, going softly into that good night. I fear letting those I love down, letting myself down. I fear settling, giving in to the “that’s just the way it is” mindset. I fear dying without leaving my mark. I fear not feeling these fears anymore and just floating along. These fears feed me, they nourish my drive. I love my fear.
