Fear as a Motivator
The world fears a new
experience more than it fears anything. Because a new experience displaces so
many old experiences. And it is like trying to use muscles that have perhaps
never been used, or that have been going stiff for ages. It hurts horribly.
D.H. Lawrence
Indeed, fear is a great motivator. It will always elicit a
strong response in us, more so than, say, happiness, or jealousy, or pride.
Maybe that is why, when it comes to motivation, training for and finishing
something we’ve never done before seems to trump improving on something we’ve already
done before.
Maybe it’s time to get scared again.
Keep it real runners.
