What does being fearless look like?
What does it truly mean to be fearless?
Does being fearless lead to a higher quality of life?
Being fearless does not mean being foolish.
Fearless means standing in the face of adversity; foolish means looking for danger and seeking it out.
We are often told to be fearless on our journey, but it is important to remember the difference between being fearless and having a healthy respect for powerful things.
For example, many of us love the ocean, yet it is prudent to have a healthy fear of what it can do.
We use that healthy fear to inform our decision-making while we are at the beach enjoying the ocean.
