Confronting Fear

When we make the decision to pursue our passion, a great deal of fear can come up. I want you all to remember that Fear is not a barrier to success: it is a bridge. 

Fear is a fact of life, and it does not have to be a barrier to success because the Truth is, fear will never go away as long as I continue to grow. 

When we allow our fear to rule us, we are not serving ourselves or others. 

Rule #1 to success is: Do Everything You’re Afraid of

Rule # 2 is to revert back to Rule #1. 

You gain confidence every time you do things that scare you. Fear will continue showing up BUT you will be able to recognize it faster so that you can handle it. Do what you need to handle the fear, but lean into it. 

This week I want you to sit down with your journal and answer the following empowering questions. Give yourself 20 minutes for each one and see what comes up: 

• What has fear stopped me from doing in my past that I wish it hadn’t?
• In what areas of your life have you avoided taking action? And for how long has it been going on?

Fear is a very healthy part of growing towards our best self, in fact, it’s inevitable. The best way to use fear to your advantage is to analyze how it’s impacted you in the past. 

XO,
