What would you do, if you were fearless?

"The whole secret of life is to have no fear! Wherever you find fear, just attack and destroy it!"

-          Swami Vivekananda

Isn't it fear that many times, stops us from attaining excellence and possibly greatness? The fear of failure, the fear of competition, the fear of what might happen to us, the fear of what others will say, the fear of the unknown and so on?

Have we ever tried to analyze the roots of these fears? Were our parents too protective? Do we come from a conservative society? Did we have a friend's circle that tried to pull us down? Are we too risk averse? What is the cause of these fears?

We would do ourselves a great service if we are able to find the roots of these fears and try to overcome them incrementally, so that we are not scared to say or do the right things at every point of time. All our failures to achieve optimum levels in any field of life are directly or indirectly linked to some fear and Swami Vivekanada summarizes it very well above.

Well if Vivekananda is too spiritual to follow, just find out what WWF star, "Stone Cold Steve Austin" says. He says, "F*** fear, drink beer!" J

Said crudely, means the same!  So what would you do today if you were fearless?
