4204: The Best Reason to Do Scary Things by Dr. Kelly Flanagan on Courage

Dr. Kelly Flanagan shares how a lifelong fear of long bridges forced him to face his anxiety when a speaking trip took him across the Florida Keys without his wife there to take the wheel. He explains that courage is not the absence of fear but the refusal to be stagnant, and that moving forward through discomfort is justified when the destination matters. He made a habit of doing what scares him, discovering that much of what we love lies on the other side of fear.
