#12 The Leap of Faith
As man goes through his life,
he is called to take a leap of faith.
To leave much of himself and his life behind,
in order to build himself and his life anew.
Man must be willing to change his entire life in an instant,
in order to align it with his deepest truth and new layer of purpose.
Comfort is the killer of man.
This often requires a leap of faith.
The leap of faith requires you to not be certain it will work out.
Although leaps of faith happen a select few times in a lifetime,
smaller versions of them are scattered through your days and weeks.
How you deal with risk determines how much success you'll deal with.
The men who take on risk are the only ones who are successful.
This does not only mean financial risks.
This also means social risks.
Physical risks.
You must learn to jump at the opportunity to take leaps of faith.
Build an addiction to doing what scares you.
That is the only way to overcome fears.
For what are fears but speed limiters on your life?
Some fears are justified — most are not.
Biological misfirings.
Take the risks.
The arrogant and audacious men utterly succeed
and gain the respect of their peers.
The opposite, cowards, will never be successful
let alone gain the respect of their fellow men.
God did not make you to be a coward.
There is no such thing as your personal appetite for risk.
Your so‑called appetite for risk would be ten times bigger
if it weren’t for the world wanting you to be a cross‑legged bitch.
Smart people are especially prone to being cowards,
for they can clearly see the potential consequences of their actions.
You must have zero fear of consequences.
Act in almost oblivion to them.
You will naturally safeguard yourself from doing really stupid things —
in fact, you won’t even want to do them.
But for the things you want to do,
but are afraid of the potential consequences,
that’s when you should deploy the zero fear of consequences.
People who live small and sheltered lives will call you reckless.
Let them.
They’ll watch on as you rise beyond what they thought was possible,
all by being “reckless.”
You must learn to not even fear death.
When a man no longer fears death — he is unstoppable.
So many of our fears — of social rejection, of failure, and so on —
tether back to a fear of death.
When you remove that fear…
nothing can stop you.
If you’ve ever been in the company of a person who does not fear consequences,
you can’t help but see your cowardice staring you in the face.
After a good night’s sleep,
you wish you’d done what that guy had done,
instead of staying, watching on from the sidelines.
Especially for things where your life wasn’t put at risk.
Don’t be stupid.
Combine your fearlessness of death
with the genuine pursuit of your purpose.
You mustn’t want to die, or even hope for it —
you must simply not mind it.
For you believe that if you do,
it must be what’s right —
and you wouldn’t regret anything.
Staring death in the face,
or rather, the prospect that we may die at any moment,
immensely helps you conquer your fear
and take the leap of faith.
You often regret the things you didn’t do,
and rarely regret the things you did.
