What Would You Do If You Were Fearless?
Some of my favourite nights are spent at home, getting caught up in conversation with Adam.
One of my most treasured things about our relationship is that we’ve found a real friendship in each other. We have lots of chats about countless things. One of our most recent conversations was about being too comfortable.
Whether it’s at work or in your relationship — Adam and I discussed the many ways you can tell that you’ve come to a stagnant place. One of our greatest gifts is that, as humans, we have the capacity to grow. We then wondered why we wouldn’t all be trying new things, getting curious about life, and actually participating in our evolution.
One of us mentioned the thing we’ve luckily been able to give each other, which is great accountability to our strengths. Always reminding each other of our capacity, skills, and confidence. We don’t let each other settle or stay complacent. With this, we also accept a level of challenge in our relationship because in order not to coast, you have to have uncomfortable conversations and willingly try things that put you out of your comfort zone, sometimes causing tension.
Both of us agreed that surrounding yourself with people who push you, or rather, people who don’t let you deny your truest ability and potential. Those are the people that lift you up, make you better, and help you to get uncomfortable more often.
Adam and I talked a lot about fear or fear of failure as the key reason for why people get cozy somewhere and stay forever. If we stop asking ourselves about our lives; what’s working and what’s not…we invite complacency. We lose the strength to change with ease like we used to.
Fear.
I can’t help but bring it up again and again as the cause of so much of our suffering. It creates the places in our lives where we feel stuck. Where we don’t feel fulfilled or meaningful. Where we’re simply going through the motions without really being connected to our hearts anymore. Perhaps the simplest way to start is to just get curious about your present life.
What is working?
What isn’t?
If you were fearless, what changes would you make?
