Leonard Kim’s TEDx Talk - Why You Should Let Your Fears Guide You
I’m terrified of water.
Not just any water. Deep water. I’m okay with swimming pools and lakes. The moment a shark is a possibility, I’m out. Call me crazy, but I prefer not getting bitten by a shark. So I avoid deep water and the ocean. You probably also have fears that are based on rational beliefs, such as fire, snakes, or heights.
However, we all have irrational beliefs as well. They usually stem from the beliefs authorities instilled into us as children. The fear of failure, the fear of rejection, the fear of never living.
We spend the majority of our lives so focused on not risking failure, that we never pursue the flip side - the possibility we might find success, acceptance, actualization of our dreams.
What is the right thing to do - to ignore our fears? To run from them? To face them head on?
