Fear is growth disguised
All growth is a leap into the unknown.
No one can tell you how to do it.
No one can tell you if it will work.
If they could, it wouldn’t be scary.
If it wasn’t scary, everyone would do it.
Fear is an opportunity.
Embrace the growth within it.

Fear provides full benefit
The SEALs have a saying: “full benefit.”
Things that suck make you better.
Hiking + it pours rain? Full benefit.
Writing + lose a draft? Full benefit.
Driving + tire goes flat? Full benefit.
Fear provides the same opportunity.
Welcome it.

Let go of opinions
Fear is often rooted in what others think.
We use that as an excuse not to do.
But every great triumph carried risk.
Every one had people casting doubt.
Where would we be if the greats let this stop them?
Release your fear of judgment.

Anticipate fear
Preparation defeats fear.
Visual it, feel it, anticipate it, explore it.
The vagueness of fear is what’s scary.
When we prepare, its power crumbles.
Fear is a thief in the night.
Run from it, and it’s emboldened.
Anticipate it, and its grip loosens.

Do hard things
Facing fear is a muscle like anything else.
The more we do it, the easier it becomes.
Don’t wait for fear to come. Go find it.
Accept this will be hard. Do it anyway.
Hard things deter cowards and strengthen the courageous.
This is how you train for life.
