“The fears we don’t face become our limitations”
— Zig Ziglar

When we talk about “pushing comfort zones” in the arenas of outdoor sports, and child rearing, or landing that dream job– we often use aspirational language like “get in the zone,” “create momentum,” or “drive.”

Zig Ziglar’s perspective recognizes two sides of fear-facing; not just the “life hacking performance ninja” potential for blue sky days, but also the danger of not facing that fear– the creeping limitation of turning the other way, or building a protective wall. In a world with change as an only constant, our forward movement comes to an end when we retract, run, or wall up. The wall we build becomes our prison, our limitation, unless we poke our nose over the top and see whats on the other side.
