You don’t always have to beat fear.(But you can learn to dance with it.)I sat down with Chris Dyer—author, keynote speaker, leadership expert—to talk about one of life’s most uncomfortable teachers: Fear.Here's what he said:💭 “Fear can be a driver. A protector. A boundary.” When his wife almost died… (yes—almost died) it wasn’t the fear that broke him. It was the fear that moved him. To ask more questions. To research like crazy. To advocate like her life depended on it. Because it did.And then he said this:💬 “Every relationship has a sand timer…But it’s in a bag. We don’t know how much time we have.”So he lives in the moment. Not to fight fear…but to honor it. He reframes a lot of fear positively. To let it remind him what matters.He also shared something that made me smile:🧠 “When I was younger, I’d sit in a room full of 40-year-olds,thinking they’d laugh at me…not realizing I was a bargain—hungry, driven, and ready to show up. For half the price!"Sometimes fear tells us we’re not ready. But maybe… just maybe…Fear is proof that we are. That we care enough to show up. That we’re growing into the person we’re meant to become. Chris reminded me: The opposite of fear isn’t bravery.(It’s calm.)It’s that deep, centered presence that helps us be here while we’re here.So I’ll ask you:💡 What fear are you facing right now that might be asking you to prepare, not retreat?It's asking you to show up.Speak up .And live fully—while the sand is still falling.👋 Follow One Fear Per Year for more conversations like this.More about Chris: Chris Dyer is a culture builder disguised as a serial entrepreneur, CEO, and consultant.
