I simply want to say "BRAVO!"
Wonderful post...
and as always great articulation of thoughts for those that can most benefit...

I hope that it is not taboo or out of line to piggyback on your eloquent words post with some additional thoughts that I had shared with a fellow DB brother here. I found several good ted talks that present FEAR in a different manner that may help different folks overcome it...

FEAR-How will you overcome it and be the man only a fool will leave?

“Fear is not real. The only place that fear can exist is in our thoughts of the future. It is a product of our imagination, causing us to fear things that do not at present and may not ever exist. That is near insanity. Do not misunderstand me danger is very real but fear is a choice.” Will Smith

Friend,

I am going to share some resources and information that has helped me tremendously as I am traveling my own journey.
I am going to challenge you to take actions that you have thus far avoided doing.
The actions will be focused on you so you can step up, man up, and become the person only a fool will leave.
Will you commit?
Will you permit me to be an accountability partner for getting on?
If you agree here is your homework to get started.

_________________________________________________________________________________________
The first thing I want you to do is google the Black Door Story.
Read several of the links. There are minor details that change, but the message is the same.
Share with me how you see yourself playing a role in the story.
Share with me how you see fear and what is through the door.

The second part of your homework is to find and watch the TedX talks for the following. You can seek out more as there are many of them, but these ones hit home for me from several angles.

1. F*** the fear, it's not real anyway! By Deri Llewellyn-Davies
2. Be The Warrior Not The Worrier - Fighting Anxiety & Fear By Angela Ceberano
3. Reprogramming your brain to overcome fear By Olympia LePoint
4. 100 days without fear By Michelle Poler

After watching each of them, share back what you took from them and one action that you will implement for yourself.

My last bit of homework is to have you ponder on the tag line you are using in your signature.

To worry or not has no affect on the outcome. But, moving forward, letting go, and making changes can.


Why did you choose this?
What are you doing to apply it to your sitch?
What do you understand the meaning of this to be?

My friend, you have to start somewhere. And sometimes that is just starting something.
Lets put the fear to the side and get moving.
