Fear is something that each of us, even the best business coach deals with in similar ways. Some people shut down their mental states and freeze with fear, others choose to react in terror when fear abounds. Most people however choose to accept fear instead of defeating it. When it comes to things as scary as a pandemic many people have chosen to overreact and cease to think even when the very people in their community are not dying or even sick. Courageous people choose to stand up to fear, they do not let themselves lament or fall into terror. Instead, when fear strikes the courageous ones question the authority of the, asking where and why the scare is present. Courageous people then take action to fight the false evidence appearing real.

The question of why is enough to jog the mind away from reacting and changing to questioning. Questioning the basis of the frightening object or feel breaks the foundation the fear has. Once the foundation is crumbling the fear isn’t as strong.

Dr. Jim Meehan along with Dr. Richard Bartlett are both doctors who had provided evidence proving COVID 19 is not as deadly as the world has chosen to believe. This is a great example of fear and taking action to conquer it. The facts and evidence these doctors have gathered tear apart any legs the fear of the pandemic has to stand on.
