I’m Fearless. Tiger Blood.

While cheating on my Slow Carb Diet and scarfing down in one of the best pizza joints in Downtown, I had a conversation with Ian about fear.

“I can’t think of anything that you’re scared of. What do you fear?” Ian asked me.

I thought about it for a while, and decided that I fear losing myself in my work, and forgoing personal relationships as a result, but I’m too self-aware to let that happen.

Looking back, I think that’s a cop-out answer, but I don’t know if there’s anything that I really fear. I think it’s because I don’t really fear failure. 

I expect failure to be a part of my life, and know that it’ll likely be the driving force behind my eventual success. To me, the lessons and learning in a failure are well worth the costs, so it’s difficult for me to fear failure.

I’ve had more successes than failures in my life, so I’ve never questioned whether I will be successful (whatever success means, but that’s a whole other post). 

While I don’t fear, I do know that I will be disappointed in myself if I don’t do the following in my life:

• Challenge everything that I ‘know’
• Do something that positively benefits the world
• Have a work/life balance
• Work hard, and work smartly
