Show Notes

Fear isn't a stop sign. It's a compass. The things that scare you most are usually the things that matter most.

There are two types of fear: survival fear and growth fear. Most people treat them the same—they avoid both. But growth fear marks the boundary of your comfort zone. Steven Pressfield calls it Resistance.

Key topics:

  • The difference between survival fear and growth fear
  • Steven Pressfield on Resistance pointing to your soul's evolution
  • Why growth fear is your compass pointing north

Today's Practice: Identify one fear that's been stopping you. Ask: Is this survival fear or growth fear? If it's growth fear, move toward it.

Master the mind. Your life will follow.
