Episode 4061: Cylon George challenges the common advice to “fight” fear and instead suggests building a healthier relationship with it. By recognizing how deeply fear influences everyday decisions, allowing it to express its concerns, and responding with curiosity rather than hostility, listeners can loosen fear’s grip and move toward meaningful personal breakthroughs. Read along with the original article(s) here: https://www.spirituallivingforbusypeople.com/befriend-fear Quotes to ponder: “Start with your fear. Ask it what it wants, what it doesn’t want, and why it’s so desperately holding you back from what your creativity and your courage might be asking you to attempt.” “Your fear should always be allowed to have a voice, and a seat in the vehicle of your life. But whatever you do, don’t let your fear DRIVE.” Episode references: Big Magic: Creative Living Beyond Fear: https://www.amazon.com/Big-Magic-Creative-Living-Beyond/dp/1594634718 Learn more about your ad choices.
