I was asked the other day why I am creating this website and putting a ton of effort into my belief in IANA (I Am Not Afraid). The path that I am now on started when I read a blog post about Paulo Coelho and the 12 Life Lessons. Number 3 for me was a life changer:
3. There is nothing to hold you back, except yourself.
There is only one question to ask yourself here: “What would you do if you were not afraid?” Think about it.
And think I did…
Upon reflection I realized that the times I was most happy, successful and achieved great things was when I was not afraid. For me, and I suspect for many others, fear is the reason and source for not living my life to it’s ultimate potential. Fear has limited my choices and taken me down paths that I was never meant to travel. I have put a tremendous amount of thought and reflection into such a simple question: “What would you do if you were not afraid?”, and I have made some remarkable discoveries about not just myself but about all of life’s potential as well.
And so I created IANA (IAmNotAfraid.com) to share with others what I have learned and discovered and to also read and learn from others who have asked the most pivotal question of life:
“What would you do if you were not afraid?”.
