This reminds me of a story I read in a book called “Take the stairs.” Highly recommend it. There is a snippet in there that talks about how during a severe thunderstorm, bulls will literally rush head on into the storm. Cows on the other hand will run the other direction away from the storm. The difference? The bulls dive right into what they “fear” and actually end up being exposed to less of the storm because they are running through it. The cows prolong their pain and time in the storm because they are running through it.
The next chapter of my life began when I first entered into a sales job. It was commission only Door-To-Door sales. Talk about a double-whammy of fear everyday. No promise of pay and 100% guarantee of getting rejected 70+ times for me. Was I scared? Absolutely, but after training, getting coached and taking massive action my results showed. Not only was I making more then my friends in college, but I was being promoted and my confidence was going through the roof. All rom running head on into the things that scared me.
There are endless examples of instances like this in my life and I’m sure you can relate as well. On my last note here I want to leave you with a quote and a question…
“Everything you’ve ever wanted is sitting on the other side of fear.” -George Addair
What actions are you going to take this week to push through fear?
Best.
