Let's talk about FEAR.

Not the kind of fear that has you running away from spiders, but the kind of fear that has you running away from your dreams.

Humans are biologically wired to avoid unfamiliar things, and our primal brains use the emotion of fear to keep us in our comfort cave whenever we try to do something new or difficult.

But is following your dreams really something to fear?

This episode of The Flight School Podcast addresses that, as well as how you can overcome the fear of doing hard things.

Highlights:

• Why humans are conditioned to avoid doing hard things
• The game your brain loves to play with you to get you to avoid doing hard things
• Why we should make decisions based on FACTS, not feelings
• Why we should embrace the discomfort of doing hard things as a sign that we are growing
• A journaling challenge to help you consider your options

Big dreams and big goals require big action.

But when that big action becomes hard (as doing new things always does), you are faced with a choice -- to quit or to figure it out and move ahead.

Knowing WHY doing hard things is so hard (and not a sign that you're doing something wrong), can be the difference between staying stuck and quitting or moving forward to the finish line.

This episode will explain it all.

Highlights:

• How your mind actually works against you to keep you from stretching yourself
• Our "two brains"
• The three jobs of the Primal Brain
• Why the Primal Brain wants you to stay in your comfort cave
•  How to by-pass the urge to go back to your comfort cave when the work becomes hard
