"I can't stop crying thinking about it."
|
Hey Reader, My phone buzzed while I was out walking my golden retriever, Kona, and my son, Jagger. It was a message from my client Karla. She's tackling her first triathlon, an Ironman 70.3. Her message stopped me right in the middle of the street. "I am terrified!" she wrote. "I know you say to live in the moment and not worry about the future. But I can't stop crying thinking about it." I stood there and looked down into little Jagger's eyes. My heart sank a bit. I knew that one day, he'd face those exact same fears. Honestly, I felt that exact same knot in my stomach before my first Ironman. I remembered the frigid water, the fogged up goggles, and the sheer panic of feeling like I was going to drown. I pulled out my phone and recorded a voice note for Karla. "You're feeling exactly the right way," I told her. "You got this!" The reason I share this with you is because we often mistake fear for a stop sign. When we attempt something we've never done, that fear can feel completely crippling. But that discomfort is actually your unfair advantage. If you can navigate the storm of fear, something beautiful lies on the other side. The difference between someone who succeeds and someone who stays stuck isn't the absence of fear. It's taking action despite the fear. And that brings me to the successful clients I want to recognize today. These people are going somewhere they've never gone. They've come to terms with fear. They don't look at it as a negative, but as a positive way to uplevel their lives. What goals or aspirations are hiding in your life right now disguised as fear? Don't shy away from the discomfort. Lean into it. Let's make it happen. LivFit 365 High-PerformersPlease take a moment to recognize the outstanding achievers who are building high-performance human systems.
