The following quote is a powerful message delivered by this short video about fear. After hearing it and reflecting on its meaning, I have decided to let go of my fears. Instead, I want to view challenges as exciting adventures to embrace, love, and pursue rather than as scary obstacles to run from. I will encourage myself to push the walls of my safety box until they break and fall down. In this moment, I can no longer hide from my fears, but they must simply be faced and overcome.
“Fear is just imaginary. Fear is just anticipated failure in
your mind of the event that hasn’t even occurred yet. Fear isn’t real.
Fear isn’t a thing. Fear
isn’t a person. Fear isn’t an
object. Fear is all you. It’s in your mind, and it’s
self-created. Instead of thinking
about the 70 years, 28,000 days on this planet as something scarce, limited, as
something that’s running out of time – instead of thinking about it that way,
think of it as a gift. Think of it
as an opportunity for you to do what you have to do on this planet. And let this massive, infinite galaxy
and universe – let that awestruck you.
Let that inspire you to do things differently if possibly. So I leave you with a question. I leave with you a challenge on this
beautiful autumn fall day. And
that’s to create your own environment instead of being a product of it and that
starts from you understanding how irrelevant fear is. Because once you understand how irrelevant fear is, your
capacity is limitless. You will
understand that you are the one in control of your life, you are the one that
creates your environment and that you are the one that uses this system, this
resource, as a tool and not to be a tool in this system. Because in the end, it’s all about
pooling our natural talents together and creating massive value for this world
and leaving your legacy on this planet.
How’s that for perspective.”
