FEAR MANAGEMENT
“But aren’t you scared?” It’s the question our land-based friends asked again and again, usually with sincere concern for our well-being, as we set out to explore the world on our sailboat. Now, three years into our voyage, those same concerned friends ask for our most dramatic stories. They want to know all about that time when the storm was big and the seas were raging and pirates were attacking and the boat was sinking.
Why is that? Why do the same people who worry about our safety also seek out the most dangerous stories?
We are all drawn to challenges that scare us, even as they scare us. We are captivated by stories of those who conquer their fears and surmount the greatest obstacles. Perhaps it is a desire to find that same strength
