When Is Fear Healthy And Even Necessary For Success? | Casey Berman

The Overcoming Odds Podcast

Imagine the origin story of your favorite superhero. For most of them, they did not start with superhuman strength, intellect, or courage. They started as many average humans start life with the same opportunities and challenges that plague us all. The difference between our superhero to be and the average person has to do with what the hero had to overcome. Let’s take Batman for example. He not only dealt with the loss of his parents from an early age, but overcame his fear of bats to become a symbol of justice and overcoming fear. Is Batman a real person? No. Does the fictional story behind Batman help people in real life find the courage they lack? Yes. Not everyone has to have such severe circumstances and overwhelming fears in order to become successful. Simply acknowledging what you fear and coming up with strategies may be enough to find the success you have always dreamed of. And who knows? Maybe you will be the Batman in the story that you choose to tell. Maybe you will ask the question: When is fear healthy and even necessary for success? Join Oleg & Casey as they discuss how to use fear as fuel for success.
