WEAPONIZING FEAR PART 2
Turning Yourself Into A Weapon
As a life-long martial artist I always wrestled with fear.
When I trained, sparred, or competed, the 'weight of fear' always distracted me from enjoying the experience, peaking or hitting the elusive flow state.
Dan Millman, the author of Way of the Peaceful Warrior, wrote: "If you face just one opponent and you doubt yourself you are outnumbered."
When I finally grasped Millman's message, it changed everything for me.
Self-doubt creates hesitation. If you're sparring (or fighting), you've already missed the target.
Hesitation leads to procrastination. In relationships, business and life, this leads to lost opportunities.
Procrastination leads to fixation. Fear unchecked is the killer of dreams. Remember the "Rocking Chair Test".
I've now spent decades studying fear, and I created a counterintuitive system to help make fear work for us instead of against us.
I wish I had learned how to 'lean into fear' decades ago, it would've improved how I taught and coached self-defense and martial arts.
There is no such thing as 'no fear' but there sure is a way to get to [k]no[w] fear and have it guide you.
When you don’t understand ‘fear’, it's the weapon…
When you study fear, it takes on a metaphoric nutritional role…
You eat your fears.
You learn to look ‘fear’ in the eyes, it feeds you…
When you consume fear as ‘fuel’, you become the weapon.
