Why Fear and Obstacles are a Good Thing – Lex Gillette
So often we are encouraged to avoid the things that scare us and to avoid potential obstacles within our competitive endeavors. But, what if there was a positive spin we could put on both fear and obstacles that enhances your career and pursuit of optimal performance?
On this episode we welcome back the great Lex Gillette, a 5x Paralympian for Team USA who has build both a highly successful athletic and speaking career on the very belief that there is “no need for sight when you have a vision”.
Lex previously joined the podcast back in 2020 and has since then competed in his 5th Paralympic Games and written his debut book (grab a copy here).
Within our discussion, Lex offers key insights on chasing your dreams and overcoming adversity which include
- Why fear can help you break out of your comfort zone
- How vulnerability can help in the assessment of problems
- Why obstacles can be seen as landmarks to reach and pass
- The importance of trying new things repeatedly to continue growing
