Kill Fear

So I was reading Seth Godin's Tribes last night and was hit with some truth. Too often we are affraid of being leaders. That's why the good leaders are so popular, they have overcome that fear. Whether that is daily or once-for-all is something that each one of us has to figure out for ourselves, but the first step is stepping into the fear to overcome it.

This reminds me of a Andy Stanley's talk from CatalystWest this year where he discussed venturing into the unknown. If we are to lead, and Godin would say that the world needs leaders right now, then we must jump into things without knowing where we are going. We need to be willing to step out with a new idea, not knowing if it will succeed or fail or how we will even do it. We need to be inivators and be willing to live beyond the fear and actually promote the inovation that we have been blessed with.
