In 2018 after a series of unfortunate events I found myself alone, without a job, homeless and on top of that my long-term partner left me for another man in London. I often see that as my second birth out of despair. Doing this exercise that memory is not gold as it serves as the bottom, but would it happen again today, I could find my way back. Thanks Tim

Perhaps of the best disclosure a man makes, one of his extraordinary shocks, is to find he can do what he was apprehensive he was unable to do.

The fear setting exercise is helpful but there is something that I don’t think it takes in to account enough sometimes the affect of a action might be what we could bear but what about on someone like a child we don’t want to see-them suffer if things turn out badly that’s not a cop
out but the truth

Thank you Tim. I’ve been going through the process with two job applications. Unfortunately, I wasn’t offered my preference, but perhaps it’s a case of getting what you need over what you want.

Anyway, over the weekend, I was filled with feeling of disappointment and mourning over missing out on the preference. That seemed to stoke some self-doubt and fear on the offered position. All weekend I was stuck in this space. I needed to come to a decision. I’ve been journalling each morning but I lost my way with it.

Then I recalled your fear setting exercise. It was just as much a self-empathy process than anything else. Ultimately, I need to be the one to decide. I was confused with which path would be the more courageous. As I moved through the writing process, I felt my somatic experience shifting. I was no longer burdened by the heavy feelings of doubt. Sure, I still have certainty, but the cost of inaction is greater than the potential upside that I ought to expose myself to.

I signed the new agreement. I still have a bit of work to do to frame the future in a positive light, but in a time of need, this writing experience pulled through.

I was listening to Aubrey Marcus the other day and his guests brought this way to face fears up and I had to find it and read. I read it, and will be back to re-read again. As always you really broke this down completely and I love the idea, thank you

Thank you Tim for this awesome exercise. I’ve read Tools of Titans and am currently reading Tools of Mentors. You have inspired me to take action and to make a decision regarding something i’ve had doubts about for some time.

I love the quote: ‘a person’s success in life can usually be measured by the number of uncomfortable conversations he or she is willing to have. Resolve to do one thing every day that you fear.’ In my 28 years of experience in this lifetime this has proven to be very true.

My main goal is making a positive impact in this world and leaving this world behind in a better shape then when i discovered it, while traveling, helping people, working out and having fun along the way.

If you’re ever in Amsterdam feel free to hit me up, although it is unlikely that you’ll ever read this. Cheers mate!

In reply to Shell. This was informative and eye opening; I understand I need to revisit my goal setting and start with smaller goals. I was setting long term goals and getting frustrated and overwhelmed not seeing the progress. This breakdown makes so much sense. Thank you.
