Maybe some people are more naturally fearless or learned how to redirect the energy of their fear. Maybe their “fearlessness” has helped them excel in certain areas in their life, professionally and personally. Maybe they use the energy they need to subdue their fear in a way that gives momentum, energy and drive for something productive, constructive and connected.
Like a rival telling us to not look behind that door. Maybe what we’re afraid of is like clue to what we’re supposed to be doing, what we’re good at. The gift of our talent, meaning but also gives us the most anxiety at the risk failure. The fear is the clue but the discovering, facing and overcoming is what forges our abilities and talents, builds resilience persistence, character, wisdom, insight and experience.
