Episode notes

Ever tried to take a big leap towards personal growth only to feel the icy grip of fear and possible failure? You’re not alone. In a candid conversation with our community member, Alan, we tear down the fallacy that personal transformation is onerous and time-consuming. We also explore how fear of failure, usually rooted in our past experiences, often becomes the invisible chain holding us back.

In this illuminating dialogue, we tackle how deeply ingrained beliefs might require multiple attempts to unearth. However, each failed attempt could be perceived as a stepping stone to growth rather than a setback. We reflect on Alan’s personal story of addiction and alcoholism and how it impacted his relationships, providing valuable insight into the fear of commitment. The episode concludes with an intriguing discussion on the power of a living meditation to disrupt the emotional response to failure. So, ready to redefine failure and become unstoppable? Tune in.

Memorable Quotes

"We believe that thoughts are things and that your beliefs dictate your destiny, and so what you believe about personal growth, how hard it is, how easy it is, what the experience must be for you well, that's going to be your reality."

"We've become domesticated and socialized and indoctrinated into believing that certain experiences we have we should call failure and, as you and I were getting very close to you, actually seeing that failure makes no sense as a concept."

"Every time we do that, when those old neural networks and that habit arises if we don't continue to entertain it or layer more beliefs on top of it, we can remember the decision that we've made, which is there's no such thing as failure, and we short circuit. We reduce the amount of time that you have that emotional reaction and over time we re-pattern your whole nervous system and you become unstoppable."
