Why fear + courage is key to growth #courage #growthmindset #podcast

When you do something you've never done before, you will feel scared. That's normal because you've never done it. That's why I don't like the idea of always being confident to take action. How can you be confident if you've never done the thing before? Hell no. If I waited for confidence, I would never accomplish anything. Exactly. Confidence is the result of action, not the fuel effect. That's right. Take action. And belief is built on the battlefield. So you will feel scared. You will feel a lot of fear. That's why Maya Angelou says courage is the most important of all virtues. And I would agree, because you will be scared emotionally, mentally, physically. Whatever this thing you want to do to grow in some way, you're going to be scared. You want to grow. You're going to have to do something, something new. So fear is the mechanism that you will have to feel to enter the new arena, and courage is how you navigate that.
