Overcoming the Fear of Failure: Strategies for a Maxed Out Life | Ed Mylett
"Fear is really sneaky and it's a really, really, really good liar. And it'll come in and it'll convince you like, 'Oh no, no, no, this is your intuition. You really shouldn't do this.' The question is that I ask myself now is whose voice is that? Is it your voice or is it your parents' voice?"
Entrepreneur Jenn Gottlieb described how to distinguish between genuine intuition and fear masquerading as gut instinct. She recommends asking whose voice is speaking— your own or internalized voices of parents, partners, or strangers on the internet. Gottlieb says most people let fear from outside voices dictate their actions and regret it on their deathbeds.
