fearless2

Imagine living your life without being afraid to take a risk and to explore life. You are not afraid to lose anything. You are not afraid to be alive in the world, and you are not afraid to die.
– don Miguel Ruiz
 

Sometimes, it’s only when things get so stressful that we stop giving a damn if they work out or not that we really begin to live. There is tremendous freedom in no longer being afraid and in realizing that there are things worse than failing, worse than losing everything, worse even than death. When we are no longer afraid of losing, we start doing all sorts of things we would never have done before, which is incredibly powerful. There is a certain crazy magic in being fearless; when we throw caution to the wind and do whatever we have to do to feel better, that’s when huge breakthroughs tend to occur.
