Fear is an integral part of life.

It's a natural reaction to be afraid of something that we believe to be dangerous.

In specific situations, it keeps us from harm, right?

We don't put our hand near a flame for fear of being burned, and that's a good thing.

That's its biological intent.

It's part of the reason our species was able to evolve and flourish.

But just as it helps us, our species was able to evolve and flourish.

But just as it helps us, it can be our biggest obstacle.

It becomes easy to see everything is that flame that will burn our hand.

We fence ourselves in, we create a comfort zone, because a comfort zone is safe.

And because of this, we miss out on some of life's greatest opportunities.

Most things worth having live outside of our comfort zone.

On the other side of fear.

Everyone deals with being afraid.

It's who we are.

The difference lies in how we handle it.

Quoting Peter McWilliams, he says there are two types of people.

People who experience fear while trying to grow themselves and expand their comfort zone,

and people who feel fear just thinking about expanding their comfort zone.

Never acting because they're scared of the unknown.

It's the exact same fear that is felt by both types of people,

those who act and those who hide.
