Stop Letting Fear Control Your Life

Fear can be a major obstacle to getting what you want in life. Fear of failure, fear of inadequacy, fear of rejection - the list goes on. While feeling afraid is natural, letting those fears hold you back is not fair. Fear is one of the most important parts of your fight-or-flight response and has been a protective mechanism for humans since immemorial.

The idea that you can only be successful if you never fail is a myth. To be successful, you need to figure out how to use your failures as learning experiences. If you're not failing, then you're not taking any chances. Successful people often mention the failures they’ve gone through to emphasize the importance of trying new things and not being afraid of failing. They never let the past dictate their present. In this episode, we’ll explore the various fears of people and how to manage them effectively.
