Do you ever feel scared, and overwhelmed?

Do you ever feel like there are all of these things you want to do — and mountains you want to climb — and then the fear hits you like a bag of rocks?

Oof. Same here.

But what if we took our fear (even when it feels really, really overwhelming) and turned it into fuel instead? 

What if we leaned into our dreams because of our fear?

Because, here’s the truth… fear tells us something really, really important.

It tells us that we are doing something that matters. Something that has impact. Something that has possibility.

If we were doing something that didn’t matter, that wasn’t impactful, that didn’t have any possibility, we wouldn’t be scared for it to fail.

Our dreams, though? They DO matter. And so we’re scared of them sometimes.

I don’t know about you, but I’d much rather risk failure than live a life that fear dictates.

I bet you would, too.
