it risky for Paul Cho to go to Japan? Yes, but he stepped forward anyway as the opportunity lay before him and found himself radically changed because he didn’t shrink from the challenge.
Indeed, fear of failure is directly linked to fear of what other people think. But when we no longer believe in failure as a concept, we find that our other fears dissolve as well.
Let me close with three simple but powerful leadership principles you can implement this very moment to radically shift your perception about life.
1) See things as they are but not worse than they are. This takes maturity and integrity.
2) See things how they could be. Dream big and imagine how things could be if fear didn’t hold you back.
3) Make them as you see them. Step forward and take action, ignore the critics including the harshest one who you may find in the mirror. In the end you just might find the thing you fear the most becomes the thing you really love.
