A Life Without Fear

What does it truly mean to “live fearless?”

Fear is part of what defines the average man. Fear of failure and fear of success. We all fear screwing up, our big plans blowing up in our faces, our life's dreams being crushed in a single stroke.

But fear of success? That's a new one.

But yes, the average man fears victory as much as defeat. To triumph, you need to go the extra mile, put your neck on the line, and poke your head out of the hole. You need to be willing to risk losing everything. You can see why that scares most people. Far easier to keep your head down, muddling in mediocrity day after day, never even attempting to rise above.

Let me tell you something: there is no way to eliminate fear. Name any successful or famous man, anyone who rose up based on his own sweat and labor, and I can tell you that he still grapples with his fear every day. Fear is an integral part of the human condition, one that can never be fully suppressed.

So what separates the great man from the average man?

Answer: the great man has learned to control his fear. To master it. To not let it rule him or dictate how he lives his life.

That is what it truly means to “live fearless.” Not to deaden your emotions, but to make them work for you. To not let them control you.

It's a tough path to walk. If overcoming your fear was easy, everyone would have done it by now. But once you've brought that screaming little voice in your head down, you can forge your own destiny unimpeded. The most dangerous enemy you will ever face is yourself.
