As someone young, hungry and clueless, I always knew I was missing something.

A big clue fell right into place when I watched Tim Ferris’ Ted talk on setting fears.

Applying the lessons in this video shifted how I see consequences, it taught me to look my worst fears right in the eye and step through the doorway of my imagination.

It showed me how to embrace the emotion and use it to light my pathway forward into becoming exactly the person I know deep down that I can be.

Exactly the kind of person who 18 year old Said can be proud of to say – fuck, I knew there was a good reason to stick around.
