Fear is either your worst enemy or your best friend. Encouragingly so, you are not alone as fear does not discriminate. We all face alarm, dread, fright, even panic. Especially when we step out of our comfort zones. In fact, no one did anything 10x great without successfully dealing with fear.
And the best part, you get to decide to be average or 10x. Unlike animals, you have a choice, as is always the case in the divine plenum of the human being experience. Embrace the pain of fear now, renew your mind and fight for the life you want—or let the fire of fear slowly burn you to the core. It’s your decision.
Success or failure in life does not happen overnight. It’s a slow fade, one way or the other. The pain of daily self-discipline or the pain of regret. Snuff out your dreams or set your business soul on fire. We must love the pain of daily self-discipline. Driven by our personal why, living out our core values, honoring Kaizen (self-improvement), we are setting our business souls on fire.
Speaking of fear and fire, Mike Tyson knows a thing or two about fear. His life journey has been a zig-zag burning path of root cause and Kaizen. He has been through multiple deep dark challenges—even the tragic death of his 4-year-old daughter—that would have broken most people to the point of no return. Yet he is a fighter and someone who never ever gave up. Where he is today is flat-out a miracle. Sir Mike is an overcomer who packs an almighty punch, not just in the ring but at the travesty of life. Jabbing at his lower self over and over and chasing his business soul higher-self-hero, he has some fighting words on fire for you today.
Prayerfully remind yourself of the fear and fire and the zig-zag. Anyone who makes it through the fire of life and comes out on the other side still swinging will will have emerged stronger than ever.
