Fear and Permission

by Sean Mathena on June 16, 2010

I just watched this video of Chris Guillebeau from the TEDx talk at Carnegie Mellon University.  I thought it was a very insightful video since fear is a big hindrance to most people’s success.  Chris talks about the fear of change, and being able to give yourself permission to change.  I believe that the only way to get over a fear is to confront it.  The fear of speaking for example.  I speak several times a year, and people always ask why I am not afraid of public speaking.  It really isn’t about not having any fear, I have always had a bit of stage fright, the key is having the fear and doing it anyway.  Typically once you start the action that you fear, you find out there really is nothing to be afraid of.  Watch the video, and let me know what you think, I think you will really enjoy it!
