Unpack Your Fear

In The Alchemist, along their journey, the alchemist shares an important message with Santiago regarding fear and the pursuit of his Personal Legend, 

“There is only one thing that makes a dream impossible to achieve: the fear of failure.”

If your fear of failure is what stands between you and your authentic life, of Personal Legend as the book refers to it, you owe it to your Self to overcome that fear. After all, as my barber. Mr. Greg explained to me, fear is nothing more than False Evidence Appearing Real. 

Fear manifests from irrational emotions that are not true.  

When you unpack your fear by asking a series of “whys”, “what-ifs”, “what happens”, and other questions, you find your Self at the root of your fear and can finally move past it once you realize it’s nothing to be fearful of.

See you tomorrow and keep pursuing,
