Do you remember the brand that was popular quite a while back called, “NO FEAR”?

People wore No Fear shirts and had stickers on their cars…

I never had one of those shirts but it probably felt empowering to wear.

Over the years I’ve run across many people who’ve shared their goals of having no fear. Hell I’ve run across many people who’ve told me they already have no fear.

Sounds like a great place to live in, doesn’t it?

Here’s the problem…

It’s bullshit.

Everyone has fear. You do. I do. We all do.

If someone were to literally live with no fear, they would be psychotic.

The goal is to overcome the fears that hold us back. And listen, I’ve had plenty…

Years ago, I had major fears when it came to making prospecting calls, speaking in public, asking girls out, etc.

How I survived a coyote attack last night

It was 12:20 pm last night and I decided to go for a walk to clear my head since I couldn’t sleep.

A major rarity for me since I’m normally passed out within minutes of my head hitting the pillow.

It was pitch black out here in the country at my lake house.

The clouds were covering the, normally, bright moon and stars.

I foolishly had gone out without my phone for any light or a sidearm for any protection.

Even more foolish because, just earlier in the day, a friend had warned me about rabid coyotes and how he never went out, even during the day, without his pistol.

This is a walk I’ve made dozens of times…

They finally opened up the gyms in Dallas.

I’m typically in “the house of pain” 5 days a week and some part of my body is usually sore at all times.

I’ve programmed my brain to be addicted to the process so this quarantine has been a royal pain in the keister.

So yesterday Devon and I headed over to get a workout in and found a sign on the door saying masks and gloves required.

Not my ideal situation. Especially since I was planning on hitting cardio super hard. But since I wanted a workout in, I popped one of their masks on and gloves and I was off to crush my workout.

I posted this to my social media and it apparently triggered some folks and they felt the need to tell me how wrong I am.

Don’t you just love unsolicited advice?

Some even told me how unhealthy it was. Which, when I looked at some of their profiles, they clearly are in no shape to coach me on being healthy.

I even banned one Troll because their comment was just outright nasty. I do find them entertaining but prefer to not have that kind of negative energy in my space.

Help Me: Where Do I Start?

Where do I even start to attract leads on social media?

The same way you start anything… you just start.

Where do I start when it comes to working out and losing weight?

You just start.

Where do I start when it comes to writing a book?

You just start.

Yes, it’s great to get education on all of those things. But there is no shortage of education and advice. Pretty much anything these days you can find a YouTube video that can help you.

Motivation Tip #1: Why You Should Never Give Up

Last night, Devon and I piled the kids on the bed and watched The NeverEnding Story which I loved as a kid. It was produced in 1984 but still remains my favorite children’s movie.

You should watch it with your kids.

And if you don’t have kids, watch it with yourself 🙂

Too many lessons to cover them all here but I’ll cover a few that have been ringing in my head over and over since watching it…

The central character in Fantasia is a little boy named Atreyu.
