How to Let Go of Fear and Move Forward
About this episode
In this episode, Russell Davis discusses the nature of fear and the importance of courage in overcoming it.
Most of us spend enormous energy trying to get rid of fear. I know I did. I remember being coached in a training room years ago and telling my coach what I wanted more than anything was to stop feeling afraid. He looked at me and said: I can't do that. What you need is courage. At the time I was disappointed. Looking back, it was one of the most useful things anyone has ever said to me. In this episode, I share what fear actually is, not what we think it is. Fear isn't caused by the situation. It's the misuse of imagination. It's a story we're telling ourselves about what might happen, filtered through old experiences and beliefs about who we are. When you begin to see that, something shifts. You don't have to wait until the fear goes away to take the next step. You just need fifteen seconds of courage.
