Why "Don't be afraid" is the worst advice - ever!!

How many times have you heard those words?
"Don't be afraid",
"Don't be scared",
"There's no need to worry", or versions thereof.

My name is Adrian Green, and I know a bit about being scared.  I was a Bomb Disposal Engineer in the British Army and saw active service in the first Gulf War and in Bosnia.  I also became the Royal Engineers Parachute Team leader and became a national champion in formation skydiving.  To cap it off, I also have a degree in Psychology.


I have helped hundreds of soldiers and civilians conquer their fears by teaching them freefall skydiving.  Some of them were absolutely petrified (and not just the civilians).

Being scared is a natural reaction to a certain set of circumstances and that reaction has kept us alive throughout our evolution.  So, why are we always being told to stop being scared and to try and conquer our fears?

I believe strongly that wherever you are in life, if you haven't got to where you want to get, then most likely, fear in some version or other is holding you back.  The idea of this blog is to give you tips, tricks and techniques to conquer that fear and allow you to lead an epic life.  It will be a resource of current thinking in dealing with fear and anxiety.  I hope that my stories and the stories of others will be a great motivational tool and hopefully inspire you to take the next step and the next step and so on, to allow you to truly lead a momentous journey through life.

I hope you'll come back often and if there's anything you'd like me to cover in future posts then please comment below.  Ade.
