Fear doesn't have to paralyze you. The speaker argues it can guide decisions and open possibilities instead of closing them off, connecting fear to wisdom and what actually moves you forward.
Good fear, Healthy, healthy fear. If used right. Fear can be a direction, like a motivator, a gps, to go away from things or go towards things. Not always running away from things, but going towards something or away from something. If you fear or you feel that sense of fear, how do you make this work for you versus working against you? Fear can open things. Instead of always thinking it, that fear is closing your life. Because many times we fear me heights. So I don't do ski lifts, roller coasters. Like, it's closing the possibilities in my life. But how can I use that fear to push me in a direction that actually opens my life? Because I refuse to listen to the voice of fear. Now, if we think about wisdom, it's the ability to understand one's brain and make wise choices based on things that we've learned along the way. So it's very interesting that fear could be the instruction for wisdom, which actually then we can get this reciprocal kind of thing happening with the wisdom that we're using to get rid of the fear that we have inside of our brain.
