Category: Finding Ways to Be FearlessFearless at Work: Make Fearlessness Work For You
I learned an important lesson in 1996 when I agreed to join Al Franken for a segment called "Strange Bedfellows" during Comedy Central's coverage of the elections. Al and I held our political debates from a bed in the middle of the audience, and the humor inherent in the situation gave me, as a woman, all the more power: I could be fearless and feminine, assertive and funny. As it turned out, the show attracted viewers who would not have paid much attention to the election otherwise, which taught me how useful and disarming humor can be, especially in communicating with an unconvinced audience.
Are there ways in which you've learned to make fearlessness work for you to get what you want out of life? What are they?

Hi Arianna,
What we all want is health and a loving spouse. My health was never a problem but an unloving spouse was. To deal with that in life takes faith or fearlessness. 30 years was a long time to live with that but when my children moved on and married I quit my relationship without fear. The new relationship is loving and my wife is as fearless as they come.

I think for me it has always been, "We do the best we can with what we've got." This has gotten me through many scary situations, because I know that what I've got is God. He is right there with me in every situation, even and espcially the scary ones. With God as a bodyguard, how bad could it get? Maybe it is a mental psych game I play with myself...but I do believe it and it does work...
