Fear, the beginning of knowledge.

Fear, the beginning of knowledge.

As you take steps toward your dream, you will undoubtedly wrestle with doubt.

You will question whether you are good enough and there will be moments when you sincerely believe that you aren't.

And yet deep down, you'll know that this doubt is not even a lie. It's a smoke screen.

Your doubt is a red herring that alleviates you of your burden; backdoor ego, protecting you from the pain of reaching for the sky.

The truth is that your vision doesn't depend on you being enough. It depends on you getting out of the way.

So take that doubt and throw it out the window.

But fear? The fear you feel or don't is real and true either way.

To be afraid of the prospect of your vision is the beginning of knowing it fully.

Here's the message.

If you're not afraid of your vision, you haven't seen it clearly and you don't fully understand the gravity of it all.

So if your'e afraid, that's good. You should be.

And if your'e not, stop lying to yourself and look closely.

Either way, the answer is courage, honestly.

Talk soon,

Darren K.
