When You Stop Buying Fear at Face Value You Can Create The Extraordinary

Pursuing our unfulfilled dreams is leaping into the unknown.

It’s leaving behind the terra firma of our status quo, walking to the edge of a precipice on a windy day, and staring into a bottomless abyss.

We know the ideas and dreams stirring in our souls that we so desperately want to breathe life into are on the other side of the leap.

But our brains desperately want to pull us away from the edge, back to terra firma, back to the status quo, back to what we know.

We stand at the impasse of fear and glory in an existential tug-o-war.

It’s at this moment of near paralyzing fear we must step back.

Not from the precipice; we mustn’t capitulate; we must maintain our resolve at the edge.

What we step back from is the fear itself.

We must stop buying the voice of fear at face value merely because it emanates from inside our own heads.

We need to observe those voices and, through the lens of discernment, understand one of the most critical factors in writing our extraordinary life stories:

Fear of the unknown is nothing but fear of our own imagination.
