If you want to do anything great with your life, you must go through the fear zone; the fear zone to success is that leap into the dark unknown.
It’s leaving that job or relationship that is sucking the life out of you even though you don’t know what else is out there. Even if it means taking less pay to do something that makes you happier or being alone without a partner for a while.
Everyone who has ever done something amazing has had to go through the dark zone, where there is at first embarrassment, challenge, fatigue, severe criticism, loneliness, sacrifice, helplessness… but if you don’t give up, on the other side is sunshine.
The dark zone is still a progress zone, and I’d rather be in dark progress than in the grey zone, where time stands still and nothing ever changes
