Alex Panayotou: “Fear is natural for all of us. We've given it far too much power by allowing it to make decisions for us. It drives us in directions that aren't right for us and holds us back from doing the things that would allow us to thrive. So when we learn to use fear properly, it helps us with risk assessment, puts us in touch with our innate inner voice, and warns us about certain things. If we want to thrive in our lives, if we want success, whatever success means for us, we get to let go of the power fear currently has over us. 

We can't avoid fear by sticking our heads in the sand like an ostrich. We can feel it, analyze it, and assess it. 

Rather than avoiding fear, we can learn how to overcome it. 

If your goals are meaningful enough for you, it doesn't matter if they're meaningful for other people. This is what gives us the inner commitment and motivation that we need to go ahead despite the fears that might try to hold us back. If we give into fear, we will never move forward in any way. 

We can never feel as happy and fulfilled as we would otherwise.”
