Mary Schiller tests her livestream setup and talks about fear. She argues fear doesn't stop you from acting, only you do. Even successful people feel afraid and do things anyway.
Hi there. This is Mary Schiller, author and coach. I am doing a very quick test to see if this livestream functionality that I'm trying to get going is actually working. And if not, I will try again. If so, excellent. Um, I am really looking forward to offering some livestreams here on YouTube. And so I want you to stay tuned for those coming up as soon as I can get things operating on my side, on the tech side. So, uh, I think I will close this out and just see if this actually worked. I'm checking over here. Hey, it looks like it actually might be working. How exciting. Well, in that case, let me give you a quick message for today. You know, I've been thinking a lot about fear and realizing that fear is not something that can actually stop us from doing things. You know, there's a lot of chatter that, you know, fear is stopping you from moving forward, or fear is stopping you from doing this or that. And you know what? It just doesn't seem true to me because it seems more like we are the power in the equation, not some kind of random thought/feeling that comes through our heads at any given moment. So, you know, it seems to me like if fear were actually in charge, no one would ever do anything. Because the actual fact is that every single person feels afraid from now and again. Even the most accomplished, most successful people in the world feel afraid sometimes. And if fear could actually stop us, then, you know, certain singers would never get on stage, uh, certain, uh, you know, amazing feats like You know, putting someone in space would never have happened, you know. So that's my brief message to you today as I test out this livestream feature and just consider whether or not fear actually stops you. Maybe it's something as simple as you just didn't do something or you did do something and you don't have to label it as, oh, fear got in the way. So let me know in the comments and I'm going to check back with you soon if I can make sure that this technology is working perfectly. So bear with me. Love you very much. Talk to you soon. Bye.
