If you're 30 years old and fear is holding you back from taking risks, starting that business, or making major life changes, you have approximately 17,520 days left to live your dreams. Every day you let fear control you is one less day of living the life you truly want.
If you're 40 years old, you have about 14,600 days remaining. The window is getting smaller.
If you're 50 years old, you have roughly 11,680 days left. Time is not on your side.
But here's what's even more devastating: Fear compounds.
Every opportunity you don't take because of fear makes the next opportunity scarier. Every risk you avoid makes you more risk-averse. Every time you play it safe, your comfort zone gets smaller and smaller until you're trapped in a prison of your own making.
