Summary

"GROWTH DOESN'T HAPPEN IN OUR COMFORT ZONE, IT HAPPENS IN OUR UNCOMFORT ZONE.” 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.

0:00.0	This is 5 Minute Friday!
0:05.3	Welcome everyone to the School of Greatness today.

0:46.9	into the unknown into the mystery because growth doesn't happen in our comfort zone.
0:51.3	It happens in our uncomfortable zone, the mystery of it.
0:55.4	I think it's human nature to be afraid of the unknown.
0:59.4	But it's kind of like, wow, if I'm not willing to be afraid, go forward anyway, then I
1:04.7	can't grow and if I can't grow I can't be happy.
1:07.8	So I think it's paradoxical, a willingness to be afraid is directly proportional to the
1:13.5	amount of happiness we can get.
1:16.5	And I think a lot of us are too afraid to be afraid.
1:20.5	So it's like we're afraid to be afraid so we don't move.
1:25.5	But I think true courage, which equals growth, which equals happiness.
1:29.8	True courage is I am afraid and I'm the warrior going forward anyway.
1:35.5	I think archetypaly, the warrior is not fearless.
1:39.2	I think that is just a fairy tale BS.
1:43.0	I think the warrior is the one who's connected to his or her heart and feels the fear.
