Fear

Fear Is Useful

Worry and fear are incredibly useful… but figure out which ones are leading into some kind of productivity, or the right kind of caution, and which ones are just paralyzing. 

~ Karen Thompson Walker, Episode 3

What Does Fear Mean

We know what fear feels like, but not what it means. We think of fear as a sign of weakness.

~ Karen Thompson Walker, Episode 3

Dance with the fear

You can improve your skills, get better tools and do the hard work of actually getting better at the work. But most of all, you can realize that the most urgent work is the work of dancing with our fear, because the fear is the real reason the work isn’t getting done.

~ Seth Godin, Episode 1, The Work Not Yet Done
