Yo, today's QOD is Fear is not going away.

Here we go. Welcome back to the quote of the day.

Show I'm your host, Sean Croxton and Sean Croxton.com.

We got Lisa Jimenez on the show today.

there's something wrong with me when that was never what you were thinking in the first place.

And we do that to ourselves all the time. Somebody said no, and so there's just something wrong with me.

I'm just, you know, not worthy and deserving and on it. I'm not good at what I do. Now, that's just how it works. You've got to blow through a lot of nose to get to your yeses. That's

failure rejection and, you know, fear aren't really my problem.

They weren't my problems in the beginning.
