Summary

"A REAL MAN IS SOMEONE WHO LEAVES THIS PLACE BETTER THAN HE FOUND IT." - LEWIS HOWES I know him as a comedian with great videos, but were you aware at how inspiring JP Sears is? He puts himself out on the line every day, purposefully making himself look silly and taking chances. He doesn’t let fear get in his way, he embraces it. It’s normal for all of us to become scared, and hold ourselves back. That doesn’t create happiness, though. It creates comfort. If you want to be happy, take a lesson from JP Sears on this episode of Five Minute Friday, pulled from a previous interview. He discusses how fear isn’t something we should be pushing away from. It’s what we need to embrace in order push ourselves further, find out who we really are, and achieve the true happiness we want. Discover all of that and much more, on Episode 567.
