Not many people use this word when describing a person’s actions. Chances are people that have reached success have done something that they were afraid of but simply had to face it in order to get where they needed to go.

Actually they are quite the opposite, a lat of the time they are horrified but simply push forward despite the fact that they feel like a wreck. When someone is fearless it is a sign that they have good character, this why when things get rrough your parents say “its good for you, builds character.” If someone wants to be fearless it takes a few things. Someone wishing to be fearless needs to have a goal or reason for doing this action tat frightens them, if they don’t have a good reason then it is likely that there are just being plain stupid and reckless. Say someone is terrified of flying but needs to visit a sick family member a soon as possible, then if this person did get on an airplane in order to get to their loved one they would be fearless.
