Day 18 of 4th Quarter: Since we have lived in Austin, we have offered to fly my parents out, rent them a car and a place to stay during the colder NY winter months. Unfortunately, their health has not always been at a place that they felt comfortable traveling. I just got off the phone with my mother and they have agreed to come to Austin this winter for 2 weeks (I was shooting for 4 weeks). During that conversation, my mother had mentioned that they both had some fear around the travel and driving in a city they are unfamiliar with. That led to a conversation of fear and how fear prevents us from living a full life. In Susan Jeffers Book, Feel the Fear and Do It Anyways, she comments on a misconception that wildly successful people do not have fear. In reality, they have fear; They just dont let the fear stop them. They feel the fear and act in spite of it. It is an illusion that fear will pass if you wait. There are only two ways fear is alleviated: Moving through the fear by taking action or giving up on your ambitions and settling for mediocrity. Just a thought: Fear only exists when you remove yourself from the present moment. So proud of my parents and so excited to know I have have two solid weeks with them and our family. I invite you to act in spite of your fear as your move through the 4th quarter . . . are you in?
