Get Over It or Get Left Behind
Ego, Anxiety, Insecurity, Laziness – All Just Fear Dressed in Different Outfits.
Fear. It’s the invisible handbrake you’re too scared to release. It’s the friction slowing you down while you think you’re flooring the accelerator.
But here’s the thing: fear isn’t some mystical force controlling your life. It’s just you, screwing yourself over in creative ways.
Fear wears many masks – ego, anxiety, insecurity, laziness – but at its core, it’s the same tired story: “What if I fail?” “What will people think?” “Am I enough?”
Spoiler alert: you are. But only if you stop letting fear call the shots.
Fear Wears Many Hats – And All of Them Are Holding You Back
Ego isn’t confidence – it’s fear of being seen as weak. Your ego whispers, “Don’t try that; what if you fail?” So you sit on the sidelines, pretending you’re too good to play, while the fearless ones lap you.
That knot in your stomach? Fear of the unknown. You think obsessing over every possible outcome will keep you safe. It won’t. All you’re doing is rehearsing failures that haven’t even happened yet.
