"Courage is not the absence of fear, but rather the judgment that something else is more important."
No one wants to die alone.
Yet it's something you can't control. You may have a significant other, a house full of kids, and people you see every day - and you could still die alone.
There are some fears that you can't control or completely eradicate. Sometimes you just need to accept that live your best, courageous life, in spite of it.

#486: Yay, Fear! (Friday, April 22)
Fight or flee? What decision do you make when you're in danger? Sometimes the decision to flee can help you avoid danger. In those situations, fear is helping to protect you from a dangerous encounter.
Fear's not all bad. Sometimes it can be a motivator to make positive change in your life or a protector from a harmful situation.
Yay, fear!

#485: FoMO (Friday, April 15)
In Marketing & Advertising, we use the term FoMO (Fear of Missing Out) to describe millennials who are prime targets for trendy advertising campaigns.
But that fear of missing out and the need to always be connected to what everyone else is doing means you're missing the moments that are happening right now, right here.
What about those moments? Aren't they important too?

#484: The Other F Word (Friday, April 8)
Charlie Rose: Did you know the shot was going in?
Villanova's Kris Jenkins: I think every shot I take is going in!
There's another F word that can be just as crippling as fear. It's failure. Combined, the two can render one immobile.
Watching the last few seconds of the March Madness final this week, you saw Jenkins take the shot like failure wasn't an option. And it wasn't - the highest award in college basketball was on the line.
Take the shot - and shoot like it's going in.

#483: You (Friday, April 1)
"Be yourself. Everyone else is already taken." -Unknown
There's a group of people who don't know who they are. They've spent so much time being afraid to be themselves, pretending and showing different sides to different people, that they've lost who they really are.
Don't be afraid to be yourself. It would be a great tragedy if the thing that you - and only you - can offer to world should be buried forever because you are too scared to reveal it.
Be you - whether that's loud, annoying, quiet, shy, funny, corny, awkward, wild - and don't apologize for it.
