Define Your Fears – Instead Of Your Goals

The hard choices — what we most fear doing, asking, saying — are very often exactly what we need to do. How can we overcome self-paralysis and take action? Tim Ferriss encourages us to fully envision and write down our fears in detail, in a simple but powerful exercise he calls “fear-setting.” Learn more about how this practice can help you thrive in high-stress environments and separate what you can control from what you cannot.

TED: Ideas Worth Spreading https://www.ted.com/

TED is a nonprofit devoted to spreading ideas, usually in the form of short, powerful talks (18 minutes or less). TED began in 1984 as a conference where Technology, Entertainment, and Design converged, and today covers almost all topics — from science to business to global issues — in more than 100 languages. Meanwhile, independently run TEDx events help share ideas in communities around the world.

SOLD OUT! JOIN OUR WAITING LIST! It's not a virtual event. It's not a conference. It's not a seminar, a meeting, or a symposium. It's not about attracting a big crowd. It's not about making a profit, but rather about making a real difference. LEARN MORE HERE

I think fear is a good thing to have when and only when you know what they are. If you do not know your fears, you will not know when you’re being influenced by them. From this view point I definitely agree with knowing your fears first. Because then these fears will not influence how you set your goals.

Good challenge to us all. I was taught early in life to be fearless. I was 6 years old when I killed a copperhead that had my sister cornered. That is not to say I do feel fear but that I grew to Fear Less and have the courage and tools to meet it head on.
