Great insights by my friend and colleague, Kevin Eikenberry. Once again, the video says it all.

So, what’s lulling you to sleep? What seems comfortable right now, but could really improve your performance if you changed it?

I don’t really have anything profound to add to this video. I just liked it, and I’m sharing it with you.

Here’s a link to the Free Hugs website.

In The Phantom Menace, the great Jedi master Yoda says: “Fear is the path to the dark side. Fear leads to anger. Anger leads to hate. Hate leads to suffering.”

Fear in one or both parties is often the root of conflict, and we all fear something.

Some people fear losing control. Some fear looking bad in front of others. Other people fear confrontation. Still others fear having to make a decision with limited information. I could go on and on listing the fears we confront in our interactions with others.

To successfully resolve conflict, someone has to step outside the fear and get a handle on it so that it doesn’t lead to anger, hate and suffering.

The question for today is: What are you afraid of?
