That’s interesting that you don’t consider fear motivating. I and lots of my friends find our fears very motivating. I’m afraid of heights and that fear motivates me to rock climb, sky dive, climb a ladder, fly, etc. I’m afraid of public speaking and that fear has me take every opportunity I can to speak publicly.
I guess it’s all how you view it. If someone is paralyzed by their fears than I guess this Monday Motivation wouldn’t be very motivating. But I do find that fear is a great lier. It tells you you can’t do something when in reality when you stare it down you certainly can do it and much much more.
You made some good points. I don’t like heights either, but it just keeps me off the roof, it doesn’t stop me from flying. Sky diving – well forget that. Not even vaguely interested and if I had to go on the roof I would.
Public speaking, not many people enjoy it, but It can be exhilarating. Maybe I don’t let fear stop me. It can also motivate me to challenge it. So perhaps fear is a motivator after all.

Unfortunately, fear is not very motivating.
