Staring Down the Wolf
Part of 2/20

The Navy SEALs have an acronym to describe the world – VUCA – “volatile uncertain complex and ambiguous.” Inside each person are two wolves that navigate this VUCA world: the fear wolf of the mind and the courage wolf of the heart.
The fear wolf encapsulates all the things that hold you back emotionally – your fears negative biases and destructive patterns. This fear wolf also holds you back from accomplishing your goals. If you’ve ever felt stuck chances are you needed to confront the wolf to set yourself free.
