Fear is good – 5/27/26
Great even. Yesterday was about creating without fear.
Today is the reminder that fear is necessary.
Without fear, you’re likely overconfident, think “pshh I got this.” so you don’t prepare as much as you should, end up with more arrogance when entering a new situation, not taking it seriously enough, and don’t fulfill your goals like you thought you would.
Fear is necessary.
It’s overcoming that fear to get up and walk across the room to talk to that someone and introduce yourself without knowing what may come from it.
That’s the challenge.
If you’re afraid, then that means you actually care. Most of the time, you’ll put your best foot forward, and you’re actually going to do your best. If you have absolutely no fear, then you probably should try something even harder, or rethink why you don’t have fear.
Tell yourself what you need to get over that fear, but there should always be some sort of anxiety or nervousness.
Even the smallest things should be taken seriously.
It’s like a mountain to climb. And once you reach the peak and come back down, you’ll feel energized and have a burning desire to see what mountain you can climb next.
just pull the trigger – 5/26/26
And I don’t mean death, not a murderous trigger, but a prosperous one.
Yes, one that creates brand new opportunities. The one that gets you out of the comfort zone of the couch and forces you out of bed everyday.
It’s not going to be easy, in fact it will be scary and most importantly uncertain. But what it will do, is give you a sense of purpose greater than yourself.
I think that’s why a lot of people tend to have children, or why we all own dogs, cats, reptiles and any other critter: To have a purpose greater than yourself, the responsibility to care for another soul.
There could be a million reasons made as to why not, and there could be a million more as to why. So just go out there, and make yourself uncomfortable.
We can’t look into the future and predict what will go wrong, but on the other end of the spectrum we can’t predict what will go right. We can try to navigate for the best possible outcome, but we won’t know until we try. And it might end up better than expected. Or worse.
But what’s the risk involved?
The risk is different for everyone.
The funny thing is. Everyone starts in the same exact spot; as a tiny cell orbiting through our father’s balls.
Yes I said it.
And we all end up buried underneath the dirt.
This is a tough realization, one that most people spend their whole lives avoiding.
But the sooner you accept the fact that life is impermanent, and we’re all just navigating to the best of our ability, the quicker you will be able to grasp life by the throat and approach it with more confidence than you ever thought you were capable.
This realization is not for the faint of heart.
There’s a reason why there’s a one percent. And I’m not talking about the one percent that sits at the top of tax brackets and the wall street brokers. No. I’m talking about the one percent of people that are audacious enough to create.
Many things get in the way from everyone reaching this one percent. Some cultures are more capable than others, but at the end of the day we are all humans. And humans operate on a scale of similar things: envy, fright, comfort, and love… to name a few of the multitude of emotions and experiences that humans grapple with each day.
The way I see it. Everyone is capable of being in this one percent, in fact it should be a ninety-nine percent. But the hardest part isn’t creating a plan, mapping out goals, or researching all the possible success and failures that may come. It has to do with taking the first step.
Entrepreneurs don’t ask for permission to create. No, they do it because they know that they have no one to rely on but themselves. They create their own opportunities. At the end of the day, they are artists.
We as humans are all artists deep inside. Whether we think that or not. We are all capable of thinking outside the box.
I don’t know where I am taking this, and I certainly don’t know what’s next. Life has taught me some of the hardest lessons these past six months. More than I am capable of describing. To put it simply, I have been the highest I’ve ever been and the lowest I’ve ever been.
And from that, I’ve learned many things, and come to the harshest of realizations, but they have only made me stronger. For now, I know that I need not to ask for permission to build what I desire. So that’s why I’m writing today.
I am not here for perfection. There will be mistakes, typos, run-on sentences, and that’s just what I want. Like the past six months I will take these mistakes and learn from them, with the hope that they will only make me stronger.
I hope to write every day. And to post on this blog everyday, for myself, but mainly for you, for whoever decides to read this. I hope that you learn something, and I learn something from you as well.
The one thing I’ve learned about art is that it’s not about the product, but it’s about the process.
Learn to love your work.
Appreciate every little moment that life has to offer.
Deep down I hope to be able to write full-time. These are my audacious goals that I’m finally sharing with the world. But what I want even more is for you as the reader, to get up and create. To do the thing you’ve always wanted to do, but have found more time to come up with excuses as to why you can’t instead of taking the time to learn and find why and how you can.
So even if you never open this website again, or read anything I ever write again, I’m absolutely ok with that. I just hope that you walk away with a sense that you can do anything you set your mind to. That you can accept the opportunities that life has to offer. If you’re capable. Which I know, deep down you are.
What is this for me, I don’t know if I’ve completely explained that yet. But I am writing to get better, to enjoy the process, and by proxy something worthwhile will hopefully come from it. The thing is, you never know until you try.
So take that first step. And remind yourself what I’ve been telling myself everyday:
The goal is to create, without fear.
