Today I want to talk to you about courage, fear and great friends.

In this rushing and chaotic world we all experience fear to some lesser or higher degree. And this fear can cause us to feel angry, upset, depressed, confused and many other negative emotions. And man has for trillions of years struggled with this one thing- fear. And to my knowledge there is a codified method of handling it. Now, I have to be completely transparent with you. I do not know everything there is to fear. But I do have a very good idea of its anatomy and causes. Some of which I will be sharing with you in this article. 

 So I want to start by saying that experiencing fear is not a bad thing. You should be experiencing fear. If you aren't, then what you are doing most likely is not worth your while. And I say this because hard things are going to cause you to feel afraid, so be okay with that. But, don't let that fear keep you from going through it. As my mentor likes to say, "The best route is through the storm, not around it." So do not run from fear or avoid it. Acknowledge the fear and then confront it. 

Okay, now that we've gone over the basics of fear, I want to give you a tool you can use in your life to help you confront any fear you may be experiencing. I call it "Twin Power." A Twin is someone growing with you, with respect to pace, course subject, or course volume. Almost like a friend really. BTW your friends should fit this description. They should be growing with you not against you. Anyhow, this is the type of person/people you want to be around because their energy combined with yours, will help you overcome your fears. Let me give you an example, let us say that you are trying to do a project and it scares you. The level of fear is 7 and your level of courage is 6. Well. chances are you are not going to follow through with this project. BUT if your twin was there for you and their confidence in you and this project was a 9 then your confidence would instantaneously go up to that level or at least somewhere near it. And I won't bother to go over how that works here, we can save that for another article but that extra push would help you conquer that fear and complete that project. 

 So to close this off I want to very sincerely encourage you to surround yourself with more and more great people. I was going to use the word positive but I know a lot of positive people who don't do much in life so I am going to use the word great instead. Surround yourself with these people and I promise you, you will get to your dreams a lot faster and smoother!
