What if you started treating fear as a signal that you might be onto something worth pursuing? Fear serves as a natural defense mechanism, but I would argue that the average person has lost the ability to discern real danger from imagined risk. What was once necessary for survival, like not picking a fight with a predator, is now used so rarely by most people that we seem to have figured out how to make a lion out of a spreadsheet. Sometimes the thing you are avoiding is not a warning to stay away, but an invitation to step forward.
