What is there to fear, but fear itself?


Fear has been, and will always remain man's greatest enemy. In moderation, fear can be a huge asset to any fighter. It can motivate you, compel you to explore higher potentials, and ultimately prompts you for personal growth. However, you must understand how to control and harness that fear. Learn to use it as fuel when confronted by adversity and you will succeed.

The other day I was thinking about tattoos and weather or not I should get one. I couldn't think of anything I would want permanently on my body. Then while roaming a random flea market in Mississauga, a No Fear hat caught my interest. Despite my existing fascination toward this line of clothing (primarily due to it being part of Manny Pacquio's boxing wardrobe), I was further curious and began to give the actual phrase more serious scrutiny. I thought to myself, Fear exists in every man; It can hinder performance and trigger the all so feared, act of flight. But if wielded carefully, it can potentially be one of our greatest tools for success and growth. NO FEAR. How tRiPpY would that be as a tattoo? :P Quite ironic, don't you think?

A friend of mine recommended an MMA clip that I thought was very appropriate with the topic at hand.



P.S. I didn't purchase the hat.

P.S.S. I wish I had.
