Hello, fellow Fearless Warriors of Life! 

Today, let’s unravel the components of our existence that interweave into the magnificent tapestry of personal growth. Ohhhh we are going deep!

In this beautiful journey called life, we all seek to grow, to improve, to become the best version of ourselves. Mark Manson, in his groundbreaking book, “The Subtle Art of Not Giving a F*ck”, talks about finding our purpose, and how it shapes our lives. And he’s right! Living your purpose is the first step to personal growth. Think of it this way. Purpose is your life’s GPS. Plug in your destination, and it will guide you there. 

Each of us holds a divine purpose. It’s not buried in external accomplishments, validation, or material possessions; it’s residing within you, serving as your life’s North Star. The singular purpose of life is to embody the most authentic and exuberant version of yourself. 

And to do this, life hands us two unarguable guarantees – we will try, and we will fall. Not Fail! Fall….

Just as a toddler takes her or his first steps, faltering but persisting, we strive to navigate the labyrinth of life. These experiences, seemingly daunting, are the stepping stones toward personal growth.

Gifts, we love them, don’t we? Especially when life grants us not one, but three! 

First up, Vulnerability. I can hear some of you saying, “Wait, vulnerability? That’s a gift?” Yes, my dear warriors, it is. It’s the springboard for courage. It might sound paradoxical to view vulnerability as a gift, but it truly is the cornerstone of courage. Vulnerability emboldens us to embrace uncertainty, risks, and emotional exposure. It is the breeding ground for creativity, innovation, self-awareness, and most importantly, growth. Remember what Brene Brown said, “Vulnerability is not winning or losing; it’s having the courage to show up and be seen when we have no control over the outcome.” So yes, you gotta get into the arena of vulnerability to be seen if you ever want to make life count!

Next up, Courage. It is the offspring of vulnerability, pushing us to challenge our limits and step into our greatest selves. No act of leadership or bravery exists without the fundamental attribute of vulnerability. It’s like that older brother who is always being tougher on you than you thought was necessary. But, in the end, what happened? You grew and got tougher too, so now you can handle a lot more than you could before. 

The final gift is our Capacity to Learn. Just like Author Brian Herbert said, “The capacity to learn is a gift; The ability to learn is a skill; The willingness to learn is a choice.”

Our ability to learn is the linchpin holding together all our successes, growth, and potential. This gift can bloom under nurturing or wither in the face of discouragement. Let’s choose the former, shall we?

And finally, we arrive at the most powerful tool in our arsenal – Choice. With each moment, we’re offered the gift of choice. It’s like being given the keys to the car of our lives. We can choose to keep the car in the garage or take it for a spin. It’s our choice. We can stay in our comfort zone or take a leap of faith. Every waking moment, we’re presented with the power to make choices. This tool is the captain of our ship, guiding us toward the best version of ourselves.

The magnificent symphony of life orchestrates our purpose, accompanies us through our trials and falls, gifts us vulnerability, courage, and learning, and finally leaves us with the power of choice.

Now, dear warriors, what would you choose? Would you choose to chase your dreams, reach for your highest potential, and become the person you’re meant to be? Remember, the most vibrant version of you is waiting to come alive!

You can find out more about Vulnerability, Courage, and our capacity to Learn by making a Choice to listen to “The Fearless Road” podcast! On this road, we discuss all the things that lead to living a more fear-less life. So mark your calendars for “The Fearless Road,” a podcast premiering fall of 2023. 

Let’s continue to journey together, discovering the paths less traveled, and writing our own growth stories.

Stay fearless, friends!

Hello, my Fearless friends! Today, I want to take you on a journey. A journey through fear to the other side – where we embrace fearlessness.
So, what is fearlessness, really? Is it the absence of fear? Well, no. It’s not being devoid of fear, but rather being less full of fear. Fearless does not mean we’re free from fear; instead, it signifies our courage to move through fear.
As Brené Brown, the champion of vulnerability, often remarks, “Courage starts with showing up and letting ourselves be seen.” This courage to show up, to face our fears, is the foundation of fearlessness.
There is a profound power in acknowledging our fears. Fear isn’t the enemy; it’s our guide, showing us what needs to be addressed, and indicating where growth is possible. It’s our own personalized signpost directing us toward our path to greatness. Every time we choose to move through fear, we evolve. We become more than what we were – more aware, more knowledgeable, more prepared.
The journey of overcoming fear and becoming fearless is no easy feat. But let me tell you, friends, it’s worth every step, every stumble, every tumble. Yes, we become less – less unworthy, less rigid, less paralyzed by the fear of failure. But in doing so, we also become less fearful… we become fearless.
Take it from J.K. Rowling, who was famously quoted saying, “It is impossible to live without failing at something unless you live so cautiously that you might as well not have lived at all – in which case, you fail by default.” Don’t we all want to truly live, my friends?
On the other side of fear is a world of dreams and possibilities. It’s where magic becomes real, and you become who you truly are. So, will you join me on this journey towards fearlessness?
We can walk this road together, inspiring each other to move forward, to break down our barriers, to make fear our friend, and ultimately, to become fear-less. Join us this fall of 2023 when we premiere the new podcast “The Fearless Road” where we explore all of these amazing ideas and more!
Stay fearless, my friends! Remember, “Everything you’ve ever wanted is on the other side of fear.” (George Addair). Let’s choose to make our dreams a reality. To the Fearless Road we go!
