Episode If Fear Keeps You Safe But Stuck, Open Your Sail | Scott Barry Kaufman
You don't have to wait until your fear is gone to start moving toward the life you want.

Scott Barry Kaufman, the psychologist behind the sailboat model of human needs, told Lewis that Maslow never drew a pyramid at all. Scott sees your needs as one vessel: the boat keeps you afloat, and the sail is what moves you.
When you're short on safety, you start screaming for it, and that gap quickly drains your connection and self-esteem too. Scott calls it the insecurity cycle.
Patching the holes only gets you from negative 50 to zero. Growth starts when you open the sail, even nervous, the way Scott was driving six miles in a suit for the first time in a year.
Pick one place where you've been waiting to feel safe, and choose exploration there anyway.
