A speaker shares her daughter's severe burn injury as a lesson about confronting pain directly. She argues that fear keeps us from fully committing to our businesses, relationships, and dreams, and that real progress requires going all in on the process itself, not protecting ourselves from hurt.
I love the burn because when you can stand in the fire of the burn, and as I look at this photo of my daughter and you can see at the bottom right, her entire body was wires. I wanted to do this. Well, maybe if I step away it'll hurt less. Maybe if I don't get so close to her, I won't feel so much pain. How many of you have ever stepped away from going all in on your business, all in on a relationship, all in on that book publishing contract, on your dream, on a musical thing? I don't know what it is, but where do you stop going all in because you're afraid it's not gonna work out and you don't want to feel that pain. Well, I will tell you, my daughter taught me this lesson about going all in, and you do so by attaching to the process because I was crazy mom. I love that girl so hard.
