Fearlessness

Distinguish between rational fears, with real consequences, and irrational fears, where there really aren’t any consequences. (Tim Ferris)

Fragments from imaginary dialogues

“How can I become antifragile?”

“Aim not just for courage, but fearlessness.“

“Isn’t fear useful? It keeps us alive.”

“Some fears are useful; most fears are useless. Useless fears are irrational. Useless fears are the main obstacle that keeps you from reaching your potential.

Whenever you experience fear, ask yourself:

Is this a useful or a useless fear?

Every time you identify a useless fear, practice fearlessness.”
