Of course, it doesn't boil down to that, otherwise the book wouldn't be, I don't know, 200 or 300 pages long. I don't remember how many pages this book is, but there is a bit of subtlety. And the idea is not to say "you do anything without thinking", obviously. But you see the basic idea, it's to say: "It's good to feel fear, but often you still have to act". And that's something we've already talked about in other episodes of "Walking with Johan", it's that, often, the things we feel the most fear about are things that have the greatest impact on our lives.
I was scared to death when I left France to settle in Austria. I was scared to death deep down when I created Français Authentique. These are things that, in the end, turned out to be big decisions in my life. So there you have it, feeling the fear and doing it anyway.
In this book, in my reading notes, I noted fivebelgium whatsapp number data truths about fear. And I quite agree with the author on these five truths about fear and I would like us to talk about them together today.
to say that fear will never go away as long as I... So, I wrote this down on a little piece of paper and I'm having trouble rereading it. There you go, I managed to reread it. "Fear will never go away as long as I develop." In fact, what that means is that if I'm not afraid, it's because I've stopped growing, it's because I've stopped developing. As long as I develop as a human being, as long as I learn new things, I try new things, I start new projects, as long as I develop, I will have fears because I will be constantly going out of my comfort zone.
This is very important to keep in mind because fear, ultimately, becomes an indicator, an indicator that we are developing, since fear will never go away as long as I am developing. So if fear goes away, if you are not afraid at all, maybe a little bit but not much, it is because you are developing little or not at all.
You always have a cycle, in fact, of personal growth that makes you, when you grow, when you develop, when you do new things, well it creates more understanding of the world, more skills, and these things lead to new challenges, and these new challenges lead to fear. So, it's a kind of loop that comes back constantly. You develop, you try new things, you want new things, so you have new challenges, you have new things that scare you.
What is interesting, and I see it very well in my personal life, is that what scared me before no longer scares me at all today. When I left my job to devote myself 100% to Français Authentique, I was very scared. Today, I am no longer afraid at all, it seems obvious to me. So, I got used to it. On the other hand, there are things that did not scare me at the time because I did not think about them that scare me today.
