Play Life! 18. Expand Inner Freedom

What are you feeling in your body right now?

“Remember your dreams and fight for them. You must know what you want from life. There is just one thing that makes your dream become impossible: the fear of failure.”
– Paulo Coelho

Play with fear! Fear, the impulse to stay safe, begins as a sensation in the body. This feeling is always present though often we are numb to it. There are two kinds of fear: physical fear (i.e. bodily harm), and social fear (i.e. the fear of being alienated from a loved one/group).

Fear must be respected. Inner Freedom is the ability to cultivate body awareness so that you can feel fear and still play big.

Importantly, the experience we fear the most is being alienated for expressing our YOUnique power. This is why our fears are a treasure map that leads to our hidden Superpowers.
