Fear of the unknown silently shapes our existence, creating invisible boundaries that confine our potential. That dream business, the relationship you never pursued, the adventure you postponed – all sacrificed because you couldn't guarantee the outcome. But when was the last time you received a guarantee for anything in life?
We operate under the illusion of certainty while selectively applying our fear of the unknown only to new experiences. Your job can disappear, relationships can end, health can deteriorate – all without warning. Yet we orchestrate our lives around avoiding specific uncertainties while ignoring that everything is uncertain.
The consequences of this fear-based living are profound. The world shrinks, relationships diminish, and dreams fade into a condensed version of what could have been. Meanwhile, the hourglass of your life continues draining. Someone else is booking the vacation you're afraid to take. Someone else is starting the business you conceptualized. Someone else is experiencing the joy you've denied yourself.
A powerful framework for decision-making emerges when you simply ask: "What's the worst that could happen?" balanced against "What's the best that could happen?" Often, the worst-case scenario returns you exactly where you already stand, while the best-case scenario could transform your entire existence.
Life comes with an expiration date – a truth that should inspire urgency rather than caution. The difference between merely existing and truly living lies in your willingness to step into the fog of uncertainty. The most profound shift happens when you transition from fearful "what if?" thinking to possibility-oriented "imagine if" thinking. Perhaps everything you've ever wanted has been waiting just beyond that fog, requiring only the courage to take that first step forward.

Speaker 1 (00:00):
A lot of the fears that we have we wouldn't allow
to take root.
Fears are normal.
It's when you allow fears totake root inside of you and you
begin to orchestrate your lifearound those fears, that's when
life becomes not as beautiful.
I don't know, except forself-preservation.
(00:22):
I don't know anyone who say man, I'm so glad I lived a fear
based life.
Oh whoo, all that joy andexcitement.
I'm so glad I avoided all ofthat.
All that love.
I'm so glad I avoided all ofthat.
I'm so glad I didn't go onthose vacations.
I'm so glad I didn't start thatbusiness.
(00:43):
Invest that money.
I'm so glad.
I mean, start that business,invest that money.
I'm so glad.
I mean, maybe that's yoursituation, I don't know.
But imagine if.
Imagine if you made a consciouschoice when a moment came and
something was unknown, insteadof just letting the xenophobia
kick in.
Imagine if you just pulled backand instead of saying, well,
(01:07):
what if you say, imagine if youactually took time to learn
about how incredible you were.
Nothing would ever stop you.
Let's have some good news.
What a time it is to be alive.
I appreciate you taking thetime to watch, listen, learn
with me, share with me, engagewith me Again comment, share,
(01:29):
subscribe anything that you do,whether you realize it or not.
I'm watching and I'm taking theinformation and I love the
feedback.
I love the interaction.
But I want to talk to you aboutbeing xenophobic.
Now, I know that when I sayxenophobia, some of you are
thinking about the way that weuse that word today.
Xenophobia You're thinkingabout, you know, a certain race
(01:52):
of people or a certain group ofpeople.
That's actually not what theword means.
I know that's what we've turnedit into, but that's not what it
means.
Xenophobia is actually just afear of the unknown.
It's a intolerance ofuncertainty.
Right, we've converted it.
And I want you to think aboutfears.
That's why I want to have thistopic today about that
(02:12):
particular fear, that fear ofuncertainty, and I thought to
myself how can I communicatethis message in a way that would
really land?
And here's what I came up withI want you to think about all of
the things that we are fearfulof doing because we don't know
the outcome.
I know people that won't get onan airplane, not just because
(02:33):
they're afraid of flying that'sa whole other fear but because
they don't want to discover whatelse is out there, which is
their choice, but they feel likediscover what else is out there
, which is their choice, butthey feel like you know I'm good
, right here, but when youreally pull it apart, they heard
someone say that if you go tothat place, then something
(02:55):
happens to you.
Okay, businesses that weren'tstarted because you didn't know
what the outcome was.
Okay, relationships that younever even pursued because you
didn't get the guarantee of whatthe outcome was.
Okay, relationships that younever even pursued because you
didn't get the guarantee of whatthe outcome was.
How many things can we get theguarantee of what the outcome is
going to be?
If you really stop and think,if you sat down and you made a
list right now, how many thingscould you guarantee that you
(03:18):
know what the outcome is goingto be to be?
Can you come up with two?
Not even.
We live every day like.
We have this guarantee.
We have a guarantee we're goingto wake up.
We have a guarantee our jobsare going to be there.
We have a guarantee that thepeople with are going to keep
loving us.
(03:38):
We have this guaranteementality like as if it's real
and none of it's real.
The reality is that the job canleave at any point in time.
The person can leave at anypoint in time, health can go at
any point in time.
Anything is possible.
So in that world of, anythingis possible, living life with a
(03:58):
space of.
I don't want to do this becausethere's no guarantee.
What you're doing is you'rechoosing certain fears and
you're allowing those fears ofthe unknown, even though, if you
really stop and think about it,everything's unknown.
You're allowing the fear ofwhat you do not have the
(04:21):
guarantee on and somehow you'remaking that the priority fear
over just the day-to-day fear.
Every day is a gift.
Every day is a gift.
There's no guarantees for anyday, at any moment of every day,
but if you live your life andyou're in constant state of what
you won't do because you don'twant the outcome, it's going to
(04:43):
be.
Think about how much you takethis world was going to be.
Think about how much you takethis world and you shrink it.
Think about the vacations youhaven't taken.
Think about the people that youlove, that you never said that
you loved.
Think about the businesses, theideas, all the things that were
not pursued because of the fearof the unknown, because you're
(05:03):
xenophobic.
Not pursued because of the fearof the unknown because you're
xenophobic.
Think about it, and when you sitand you think to yourself maybe
when you're 10, 15 years old,maybe 20, 25, 30, 35, but as you
start to move your life intonew decades, you start to
realize something.
You start to realize how longhave these things held me back?
How long should I allow thesethings to hold me back?
(05:28):
You know, it's not thateveryone loves risk.
Risk is not necessarily noteveryone has the same risk
tolerance.
I get it, but sometimes you haveto put things on a scale and
you have to say to yourself okay, all right, here is what I have
a desire for, but there's noguarantee that it's going to
(05:48):
work.
And here's the worst casescenario.
So let's look at it.
What's the worst case scenario?
Well, in the case of a business, you start it.
It fails, okay, great, you goback to doing the thing you're
doing before.
Okay, you tell the person youlove them and they say they're
not interested.
Okay, you go back to doing whatyou did before.
(06:11):
Okay, like, what changes?
What changes?
There's a huge change if you doit, you see, because the
business might work and thatperson might love you back and
that new position you are afraidto go for might be your biggest
(06:32):
breakthrough, but as long asyou are xenophobic, you're not
going to even attempt.
You're not going to even try.
You're going to stay rightwhere you are, and when you're
sitting right where you are,there's somebody else booking
the vacation you won't takebecause how do you know you're
going to have a good time.
There's someone else talking tothe person that could be your
(06:56):
life mate, because you won'topen your mouth.
There's a business that isgoing to have the same success
you could have had, but youdidn't start it.
They did, and so now you sitback and watch.
You see, life is not going tofulfill every single expectation
.
That's just the way it is.
We have these big dreams.
(07:18):
Not every expectation is goingto be fulfilled.
However, what we should beclear about is that nothing is
going to be fulfilled as long asyou're scared to take an action
.
When you see people who come toan intersection of where I
could be versus where I am, andthey may not be happy where they
(07:40):
are, but they stay therebecause they're at that
intersection and because theydon't know where that new path
will take them, they stay rightwhere they are.
Okay, we've all done it.
You might've done it today.
You might have an example rightnow.
Right, you could probably whipit out and you could throw it on
(08:00):
the table and be like this justhappened to me this day, this
week, this month, whatever it iswe all, every one of us, every
one of us is going to have thosestories.
But the difference between agreat life and a life in deep
regret is putting things intheir proper context and asking
(08:22):
this very simple question whatis the worst thing and what is
the best thing that could happen?
What is the worst thing butwhat is the best thing that
could happen?
You see, because when you askyourself that question what is
the worst thing and what is thebest thing that could happen
(08:43):
what begins to happen is youseparate yourself from all the
emotional swirlings and you getto stand back and you just get
to look at it.
You get to look at it Okay, I'mworking for a pharmaceutical
company.
I do not like my job, I want toleave.
I want to go do something else.
I do not like my job, I want toleave, I want to go do
something else.
What is the worst thing thatcould happen?
(09:05):
I lose my job or I quit my joband I have to go find something
else.
But I already want to dosomething else.
So why is that so bad?
It's so bad because I don'tknow what the next is going to
be.
Well, I know I don't want to behere.
So is it really that bad?
I don't know.
I don't think so, but sometimes, when you're in the moment and
(09:31):
you're in the emotion of it, youdon't even realize that what
you're committing to is thetotal opposite of what you
really want.
And then you look up in your 90,you're 90, you're looking back
like what did I do, man?
I spent 30 years there.
I spent 50 years there.
I spent all this time worriedabout all this stuff and
meanwhile this, the hourglasssand of my life, was draining
(09:53):
out and I was sitting thereworried about all these things
that would never have happenedand the possibility, things that
could have happened, that couldhave made the palette of my
life so much more beautiful, somany more colors, not just black
and white, not just gray.
There could have been lavendersin my life, there could have
been all these hues in my life,but I didn't pursue it because I
(10:18):
didn't have a guarantee.
And as long as you're xenophobic, the planet shrinks,
relationships shrink, dreamsshrink, everything shrinks into
this little ball.
Instead of all this expansion,how many oceans should you
really have seen by now?
How are you going to get there?
(10:40):
Cost money, right?
Well?
How are you going to seen bynow?
How are you going to get there?
Cost money, right?
Well, how are you going to havethe money if you're scared to
do the thing that's going tomake you more money?
So you don't see the oceans,you don't get to have the
experiences?
Hey, everyone.
Just a thought I believe thatevery single human being at some
(11:03):
point has an expiration date.
That's what I believe.
Now, with science, who knowswhat this is going to look like
in the next 20 years?
But for right now, that's whatI believe.
And so you have to ask yourselfthis question If I'm afraid of
experiencing the new and, at thesame time, I know that my life
(11:23):
has an expiration, I'm literallypaying a price every day, and
then one day, I pay the ultimateprice Because somewhere in the
back of my mind, there's alwaysgoing to be this voice that is
saying you know, you shouldreally blank, you should really
blank.
And there's going to be othervoice that says don't do that,
that's dangerous.
Or I wouldn't do that if I, youknow you should really blank,
you should really blank.
And there's going to be othervoice that says don't do that,
(11:43):
that's dangerous.
Or I wouldn't do that if I wereyou.
But man, at the end of the day,the outcome is the same outcome
for everyone.
We're all going to have thesame outcome.
It's the way it is.
We have a certain amount ofyears to live this life, to
(12:04):
experience great things, hardthings, upsetting things,
exciting things.
We have, and then we go to ourmaker.
We have, but we have thisfinite window of time to have
these experiences.
Don't have the fear of theunknown, don't be xenophobic.
Don't let the fear of what isfurther down that river that you
(12:29):
don't know, don't let it stopyou.
You have to, you have to go.
You have to, you have to stepinto that fog.
You know you can't see behindthe fog, but you know there's
something behind that fog.
You know you can't see behindthe fog, but you know there's
something behind that fog.
You have to step into itBecause that's like why we're
here.
We're here to have experiences,we're here to live, like live,
(12:50):
not just exist.
Live and you don't want to lookup one day and realize that you
had a life but you never lived.
You're going to make mistakes,I'm going to make mistakes,
we're all going to make mistakes.
I'm going to get it wrong.
I get it wrong every day, butI'm still here to get it wrong.
(13:10):
Man, what do you know?
I'm still here.
To get it wrong is a gift inand of itself, because somebody
did not have the ability todayto get anything wrong.
You see, did not have theability today to get anything
wrong.
You see, time stopped for them,but you're still here, it's
still going for you.
And so allow yourself, as longas you're still here, to live
(13:33):
the life you've been gifted withand to allow yourself to not
hold on to.
But what if?
Imagine if.
Get it.
Slight difference, what if?
Imagine if?
Because when you can go fromthe fear of what, if, what if?
To imagine if it's possiblethat everything that you've ever
(13:58):
wanted has really been waitingfor you.
You know it says when you havethe faith of a grain, of a
mustard seed, and you say tothat mountain, move, the
mountain shall move.
That's a powerful, powerful,that's a powerful teaching.
If we spent more time justmarinating in that, teaching a
(14:19):
lot of the fears that we have wewouldn't allow to take root.
Fears are normal.
Allowed to take root, fears arenormal.
It's when you allow fears totake root inside of you and you
begin to orchestrate your lifearound those fears.
That's when life becomes not asbeautiful.
I don't know, except forself-preservation.
(14:41):
I don't know anyone who say,man, I'm so glad I lived a
fear-based life.
Oh whew, all that joy andexcitement.
I'm so glad I avoided all ofthat.
All that love.
I'm so glad I avoided all ofthat.
I'm so glad I didn't go onthose vacations.
I'm so glad I didn't start thatbusiness, invest that money,
(15:02):
I'm so glad.
I mean, maybe that's yoursituation, I don't know.
But imagine if.
Imagine if you made a consciouschoice when a moment came and
something was unknown, insteadof just letting the xenophobia
kick in.
Imagine if you just pulled backand instead of saying, well,
(15:26):
what if?
You?
Imagine if you might besurprised what might happen
Actually took time to learnabout how incredible you were.
Nothing would ever stop See.
The definition of sight is thefaculty or power of seeing.
A lot of the fears that we have we wouldn't allow
to take root.
Fears are normal.
It's when you allow fears totake root inside of you and you
begin to orchestrate your lifearound those fears, that's when
life becomes not as beautiful.
I don't know, except forself-preservation.
(00:22):
I don't know anyone who say man, I'm so glad I lived a fear
based life.
Oh whoo, all that joy andexcitement.
I'm so glad I avoided all ofthat.
All that love.
I'm so glad I avoided all ofthat.
I'm so glad I didn't go onthose vacations.
I'm so glad I didn't start thatbusiness.
(00:43):
Invest that money.
I'm so glad.
I mean, start that business,invest that money.
I'm so glad.
I mean, maybe that's yoursituation, I don't know.
But imagine if.
Imagine if you made a consciouschoice when a moment came and
something was unknown, insteadof just letting the xenophobia
kick in.
Imagine if you just pulled backand instead of saying, well,
(01:07):
what if you say, imagine if youactually took time to learn
about how incredible you were.
Nothing would ever stop you.
Let's have some good news.
What a time it is to be alive.
I appreciate you taking thetime to watch, listen, learn

Xenophobia is actually just afear of the unknown.
It's a intolerance ofuncertainty.
Right, we've converted it.
And I want you to think aboutfears.
That's why I want to have thistopic today about that

How many things can we get theguarantee of what the outcome is

If you really stop and think,if you sat down and you made a

Can you come up with two?
Not even.
We live every day like.
We have this guarantee.
We have a guarantee we're goingto wake up.
We have a guarantee our jobsare going to be there.
We have a guarantee that thepeople with are going to keep
loving us.
(03:38):
We have this guaranteementality like as if it's real
and none of it's real.
The reality is that the job canleave at any point in time.
The person can leave at anypoint in time, health can go at
any point in time.
Anything is possible.
So in that world of, anythingis possible, living life with a
(03:58):
space of.
I don't want to do this becausethere's no guarantee.
What you're doing is you'rechoosing certain fears and
you're allowing those fears ofthe unknown, even though, if you
really stop and think about it,everything's unknown.
You're allowing the fear ofwhat you do not have the
(04:21):
guarantee on and somehow you'remaking that the priority fear
over just the day-to-day fear.
Every day is a gift.
Every day is a gift.
There's no guarantees for anyday, at any moment of every day,
but if you live your life andyou're in constant state of what
you won't do because you don'twant the outcome, it's going to
(04:43):
be.
Think about how much you takethis world was going to be.
Think about how much you takethis world and you shrink it.
Think about the vacations youhaven't taken.
Think about the people that youlove, that you never said that
you loved.
Think about the businesses, theideas, all the things that were
not pursued because of the fearof the unknown, because you're
(05:03):
xenophobic.
Not pursued because of the fearof the unknown because you're
xenophobic.
Think about it, and when you sitand you think to yourself maybe
when you're 10, 15 years old,maybe 20, 25, 30, 35, but as you
start to move your life intonew decades, you start to
realize something.
You start to realize how longhave these things held me back?
How long should I allow thesethings to hold me back?
(05:28):
You know, it's not thateveryone loves risk.
Risk is not necessarily noteveryone has the same risk
tolerance.
I get it, but sometimes you haveto put things on a scale and
you have to say to yourself okay, all right, here is what I have
a desire for, but there's noguarantee that it's going to
(05:48):
work.
And here's the worst casescenario.
So let's look at it.
What's the worst case scenario?
Well, in the case of a business, you start it.
It fails, okay, great, you goback to doing the thing you're
doing before.
Okay, you tell the person youlove them and they say they're
not interested.
Okay, you go back to doing whatyou did before.
(06:11):
Okay, like, what changes?
What changes?
There's a huge change if you doit, you see, because the
business might work and thatperson might love you back and
that new position you are afraidto go for might be your biggest
(06:32):
breakthrough, but as long asyou are xenophobic, you're not
going to even attempt.
You're not going to even try.
You're going to stay rightwhere you are, and when you're
sitting right where you are,there's somebody else booking
the vacation you won't takebecause how do you know you're
going to have a good time.
There's someone else talking tothe person that could be your
(06:56):
life mate, because you won'topen your mouth.
There's a business that isgoing to have the same success

They did, and so now you sitback and watch.
You see, life is not going tofulfill every single expectation

didn't have a guarantee.
And as long as you're xenophobic, the planet shrinks,
relationships shrink, dreamsshrink, everything shrinks into
this little ball.
Instead of all this expansion,how many oceans should you
really have seen by now?
How are you going to get there?
(10:40):
Cost money, right?
Well?
How are you going to seen bynow?
How are you going to get there?
Cost money, right?
Well, how are you going to havethe money if you're scared to
do the thing that's going tomake you more money?
So you don't see the oceans,you don't get to have the
experiences?
Hey, everyone.
Just a thought I believe thatevery single human being at some
(11:03):
point has an expiration date.
That's what I believe.
Now, with science, who knowswhat this is going to look like
in the next 20 years?
But for right now, that's whatI believe.
And so you have to ask yourselfthis question If I'm afraid of
experiencing the new and, at thesame time, I know that my life
(11:23):
has an expiration, I'm literallypaying a price every day, and
then one day, I pay the ultimateprice Because somewhere in the
back of my mind, there's alwaysgoing to be this voice that is
saying you know, you shouldreally blank, you should really
blank.
And there's going to be othervoice that says don't do that,
that's dangerous.
Or I wouldn't do that if I, youknow you should really blank,
you should really blank.
And there's going to be othervoice that says don't do that,
(11:43):
that's dangerous.
Or I wouldn't do that if I wereyou.
But man, at the end of the day,the outcome is the same outcome
for everyone.
We're all going to have thesame outcome.
It's the way it is.
We have a certain amount ofyears to live this life, to
(12:04):
experience great things, hardthings, upsetting things,
exciting things.
We have, and then we go to ourmaker.
We have, but we have thisfinite window of time to have
these experiences.
Don't have the fear of theunknown, don't be xenophobic.
Don't let the fear of what isfurther down that river that you
(12:29):
don't know, don't let it stopyou.
You have to, you have to go.
You have to, you have to stepinto that fog.
You know you can't see behindthe fog, but you know there's
something behind that fog.
You know you can't see behindthe fog, but you know there's
something behind that fog.
You have to step into itBecause that's like why we're
here.
We're here to have experiences,we're here to live, like live,
(12:50):
not just exist.
Live and you don't want to lookup one day and realize that you
had a life but you never lived.
You're going to make mistakes,I'm going to make mistakes,
we're all going to make mistakes.
I'm going to get it wrong.
I get it wrong every day, butI'm still here to get it wrong.
(13:10):
Man, what do you know?
I'm still here.
To get it wrong is a gift inand of itself, because somebody
did not have the ability todayto get anything wrong.
You see, did not have theability today to get anything
wrong.
You see, time stopped for them,but you're still here, it's
still going for you.
And so allow yourself, as longas you're still here, to live
(13:33):
the life you've been gifted withand to allow yourself to not
hold on to.
But what if?
Imagine if.
Get it.
Slight difference, what if?
Imagine if?
Because when you can go fromthe fear of what, if, what if?
To imagine if it's possiblethat everything that you've ever
(13:58):
wanted has really been waitingfor you.
You know it says when you havethe faith of a grain, of a
mustard seed, and you say tothat mountain, move, the
mountain shall move.
That's a powerful, powerful,that's a powerful teaching.
If we spent more time justmarinating in that, teaching a
(14:19):
lot of the fears that we have wewouldn't allow to take root.
Fears are normal.
Allowed to take root, fears arenormal.
It's when you allow fears totake root inside of you and you
begin to orchestrate your lifearound those fears.
That's when life becomes not asbeautiful.
I don't know, except forself-preservation.
(14:41):
I don't know anyone who say,man, I'm so glad I lived a
fear-based life.
Oh whew, all that joy andexcitement.
I'm so glad I avoided all ofthat.
All that love.
I'm so glad I avoided all ofthat.
I'm so glad I didn't go onthose vacations.
I'm so glad I didn't start thatbusiness, invest that money,
(15:02):
I'm so glad.
I mean, maybe that's yoursituation, I don't know.
But imagine if.
Imagine if you made a consciouschoice when a moment came and
something was unknown, insteadof just letting the xenophobia
kick in.
Imagine if you just pulled backand instead of saying, well,
(15:26):
what if?
You?
Imagine if you might besurprised what might happen
Actually took time to learnabout how incredible you were.
Nothing would ever stop See.
The definition of sight is thefaculty or power of seeing.
