My marketing people often use excerpts from the chapter called “fear” in “Only 10s – How to Use Distraction to Get the Right Things Done,” because they are the most relatable and compelling.  I reread this chapter for myself when I get stuck.  In today’s episode, I read from the chapter and talk about how and what fear costs me… and what to do about it.

“I am amazed at how much time and life fear has stolen from me.” – Mark J. Silverman

Today on Mastering Midlife:

  • You know you want to speak up, create, and dance…even if you lie to yourself about it.
  • Courage is feeling the fear, and doing it anyway.
  • Fear can mask as “I don’t want to,” confusion, procrastination or anger.
  • Admitting it is fear is the first step to “choice.”
  • When something is a “9.5” (on a scale of 1-10) and fear is a “10,” fear wins.
  • Terror is easy to spot, it’s the little fears that shape our behavior that are the long term danger.
