What would you do if you knew you couldn’t fail? How big would you play if you knew that
you can survive any heartbreak, any breakdown, any betrayal? What would you do if the things
that you were afraid of you knew were absolutely nothing, they were all opportunities for you
to get stronger in your faith, stronger in your resiliency? What would you do? Who would
you love? How big would you play? Where would you leap? When you guys find a fear, that
fear will either create you or destroy you. I love fear and the reason why, behind every
fear is the person you wanna be. Use fear or it uses you. It’s that simple. What am
I afraid of? If I’m afraid of that, I gotta be more afraid of what I’m gonna miss out
on. Missing out on my mission, missing out on who I’m supposed to be. In other words,
if you’re not gonna get rid of fear then use fear. I just want to for a moment, I want
us to be okay talking about fear. Because when we talk about it, we can disseminate
it, we can minimise it into the nothingness that it always was. But first we have to be
willing to step into it. Because fear is an emotion like any other emotion. Fear is an
emotion like love, like compassion. Fear is an emotion. We just gave it more power. We
just gave it more power. Compassion oh that’s nice. Fear, ooh. We made, we gave it a meaning.
And some of you know, you’ve heard this before that fear is false evidence appearing
real. Fear is just a story. Get this. Fear is a story that you’ve told yourself, about
something that might happen in the future. That you have 0 evidence that it will happen
but it’s causing a visceral effect in your body. Now it’s time to, literally, biohack
the impact that fear has had on you. That fear no longer becomes your fortress, fear
becomes your fuel. Fear’s that thing that push you forward. Fear is the thing that reminds
you oh I need to go get more information. Oh, fear will keep you up at night studying.
Fear will take you to a culture or mentor. Fear will cause you to eat a slice of humble
pie. Fear is not your enemy. Fear is your friend. Fear reminds you that you have not
arrived to the top of the mountain, that you’re still climbing with the rest of us. Fear is
your friend. Fear is self-imposed. Meaning it doesn’t exist. You create it, you can
destroy it too. It’s an intangible. If you face your fears guys, you’ll realise it’s
not that big. And once you face it, oh my god man I spent all these time running from
it. It was so small. If I had just faced it, my god, not only did I face it and I beat
it back, energy is never lost, it’s transferred. That negative energy that fear, is destroyed.
It comes back as confidence. What else am I capable of? What else am I holding back
from that I’m capable of more? What am I running from when I don’t need to? What
else can I overcome? You face your fears, you become the person you wanna be. You run
from your fears, you’re not living. You’re alive, but you’re not taking in the freedom.
You’re not running the day, day is running you. You’ll always be the servant not the
master guys. If you find a fear, the quickest, the easiest way you can beat it, is initially.
Right when it comes in. If you allow it to sit, it’ll grow roots and start breaking
you down, destroying the potential of the person you can be. Again, the champions guys,
is not the potential, is not the genetics, is the perseverance to always show up, always
willing to fail cause in failure that’s part of success. Success is not, you know,
a marathon of life with just ups. Success is formulated through failures. Through facing
your fears. Through falling down and getting back up. That’s what creates a champion.
Success does not define us, we define the success. Let me tell you something. Some of
your fears come out of something someone said about you. Some of your best motivation came
wrapped in sandpaper. Some of your best motivation, didn’t come wrapped in love and came with
warm cookies and milk. It came wrapped in sandpaper. It came wrapped in thorns. It came
wrapped in that divorce. It came wrapped in the loss of a loved one. It came wrapped in
something that didn’t work. Some of the best motivation that you needed, some of the
best lessons that you need to learn, came wrapped in sandpaper. Yes yes? Yes yes? Your
job is to take the information, to take the lesson, and to take the opportunity, and use
it to fuel you, not make you afraid. You will have to become someone you’ve never been
before. You wanna go somewhere you’ve never gone? You gotta do something you’ve never
done. You gotta say something you’ve never said. You gotta go to a place in you that
you’ve never even been. You get to redesign. You are your Michelangelo. You are your greatest
sculpture, and you get to re-carve, and you get to up level as much as you need. You’re
not sentenced to this life this way. You chose it.
