The most successful people know how to manage their fear
Define success however you want, whether through the lens of growth, money, status, achievement, contribution, quality of life, relationships, spiritual connection, physical health, influence, innovation or community impact, your relationship with fear will determine the success you strive for.
Understanding this important fact will save you lots of time and energy.
I'm not saying that skills aren't important, but the vast majority of success does not rely on things you can learn in a vacuum.
Our success relies less on skills and more on understanding and at times overriding our fear.
For example, when I ask people in training what good communication is, everyone knows the answers, gives the perfect list of communication skills. Everyone. Does that mean everyone is using their list? Nope. People don't lack knowledge of what to do, they lack the courage to override their fear.
The fear of upsetting people, of interrupting, of giving their opinion, of taking responsibility, of listening to others, of attention, of being vulnerable and creating trust, of asking questions, of asking for help, fear of letting go, fear of depending on others, fear of doing something different, fear of being wrong, fear of following a new path....fear fear fear. Not skills.
By definition overriding the fear response is difficult and uncomfortable. But, learning how to recognise, value and tolerate the discomfort is the answer to all your dreams.
