A short motivational excerpt by Dean Graziosi encouraging listeners to confront fears and let go of past burdens that hold them back. He references Eckhart Tolle’s The Power of Now and urges living in the present, observing anxious thoughts, and taking action against avoidance.
What if you just let it go? What if you broke off all the masks? What if you broke off the bandage and the cage around the thorn and you just had the nerve to pull it out, to face what bugs you, to walk in and say, I don't like crowds. I'm going into crowds. I'm just letting that go. I'm worth it. My soul is worth it. Because what happens? And I don't want to get too deep. But if you have ever read Eckhart Tolle's the Power of now, it's that same philosophy of being in this moment. We drag our past with us like an anchor pulling it across the desert. And we paint movies about tomorrow. That could happen. What if we let go of the movies, let go of the anchor of the past, and just lived in this present and say, no, at this moment? I'm not going to be shy. Maybe my brain is telling me I'm shy. But what if you're just the observer of that thought? Let that thought go. Pull out the thorn and do the things that scare you the most, rather than protecting and covering and making excuses.
