Monica has a dream of opening her own clothing boutique, a passion fueled by her love for fashion and her talent in creating stylish outfits. Despite living in a large city where her dream is achievable with hard work and a clear plan, she dismisses it as a pipe dream and makes no effort towards realizing it. Instead of pursuing her dream, Monica is deeply invested in a respectable office job that doesn't fulfill her. She's also spending thousands on graduate school for a field that's her second choice. This dedication to a path she's not passionate about highlights a common struggle: letting fear, driven by our brain's amygdala, dictate our choices and keep us from pursuing our dreams. The key to overcoming this fear, as demonstrated by Navy SEALs training, is focusing on the next step. By breaking down goals into manageable tasks and concentrating on them one at a time, we can bypass the amygdala's fear response. This approach allows us to move towards our dreams, despite the fear, by not letting it control our actions.
