Note to Ponder: Fear the fear, feel the fear Most of the things we avoid are avoided because were afraid of being afraid. Too meta? Sorry, but its true. The negative outcomes that could actually occur due to speaking up in class, caring about our work product, interacting with the boss--theres not a lot of measurable risk. But the fear... the fear can be debilitating, or at the very least, distasteful. So its easier to just avoid it altogether. On the other hand, artists and leaders seek out that feeling. They push themselves to the edge, to the place where the fear lives. By feeling it, by exposing themselves to the resistance, they become more alive and do work that theyre most proud of. The fear doesnt care, either way. The choice is to spend our time avoiding that fear or embracing it. - Godin
