Evan Carmichael argues that fear, not real obstacles, stops people from chasing their goals. Once you face the fear, the excuses disappear.
The reason why you're not doing the thing that you want to do— you have goals, you have an ambition, you have a mission, you have a vision for what you want to create— and the reason why you're not doing it is because you're afraid. You're afraid of something, and we've convinced ourselves with logical reasons why you can't do it, but really you're just afraid. Underneath all of that is just fear, and if you can tackle the fear, all of a sudden the logical reasons go away. Underneath it was just fear.
