Welcome to Ep. 14 of Mindsnack – today’s newsletter comes from a video I saw of Alex Hormozi. He brought up a powerful quote from his wife, Leila:

🗣️ "Fear is a mile wide and an inch deep."

Think about all the fears you had growing up. Here’s a list of common ones that usually disappear once you actually do them:

Most of these fears feel massive initially, but once you dive in, you realize they aren’t as big as they seem.

If fear is something holding you back at this point in time, you have to remind yourself of all the times when you went and did something you were afraid of. Think back to those moments – the ones where the fear seemed overwhelming, but once you stepped into it, the fear faded away. You got through it, and you grew stronger because of it.

The next time you’re faced with fear, whether it’s a new challenge, a big decision, or stepping outside your comfort zone, remember: you’ve done this before, and you’ll do it again. The fear is never as deep as it feels. Take the leap – you’ve already proven you can. 💪
