“If you know the enemy and know yourself, you need not fear the result of a hundred battles.” – Sun Tzu
What if the enemy you’ve been battling isn’t failure, rejection, or even success, but fear itself? Fear disguises itself in different ways: self-doubt, procrastination, people-pleasing, and even playing small to stay comfortable. But here’s the truth: nothing good grows from the soil of fear.
In this episode of The Authentic Edge, Toks Aruoture shares a strategic approach to overcoming fear, inspired by Sun Tzu’s The Art of War. She explores how fear gains power when we react to it—and how you can stop letting it dictate your choices.
🎧 Listen now to discover:
✅ The hidden ways fear influences your actions
✅ Why responding to fear solidifies its control
✅ How to develop a mindset of courage, even when fear is present
Fear only wins if you let it. It’s time to take back control.
