Dreamer or doer?

The absence of balance is stress. Emotional duress. Lack of joy. And so much more.

The fear of not having, not coping, not achieving, or not thriving is what drives most people to exert themselves in what they think is a good effort towards a fulfilling life.

Unfortunately, fear never inspires sustainable outcomes.

The craziness about fear as a motivator is that it simply pushes us to do what we we’re already capable of doing.

Think about it.

Fear never creates ability or competence. It only gives us reason to act on the ability and competence we already possess.

But it’s not what you think ability and competence looks like.

The only true ability that matters is our ability to figure things out, followed by our courage to act on what we’ve figured out.

Fear is what gets in the way of acting on what we know or believe to be true or what is needed.

Understand your fears and you’ll find balance.

React to your fears and you’ll either be a dreamer or a doer, but you will struggle to find peace or harmony, or even fulfilment in anything that you achieve.
