Whenever we're trying to learn something new, do something new or probably most relevant

to this podcast, make a change in your life, fear is always a big hurdle to overcome.

And the fear might be, what if I pick the wrong major in college?

You almost certainly will.

What if I pick the wrong romantic partner?

You almost certainly will.

What if I, what if I take up triathlon and I crash on my bike, you're almost guaranteed

to crash on your bike?

So it's a really challenging thing because this fear that we have around the things

that we want is very rational often, but it can run away.

It can become irrational.

It can become debilitating.

It can become paralyzing and it can keep you from even getting started.

And obviously, just because you know that if you're a cyclist, it's very likely that

you'll crash one day.

You also don't want to become a reckless cyclist.

Just because you know that it's very likely that you'll get your heart broken, it doesn't

mean that you want to become a flandering fool running around town.

And so trying to juggle the rational and irrational nature of fear is a really, really complex
