fear is not real the only place that
fear can exist is in our thoughts of the
future it is a product of our
imagination causing us to fear things
that do not at present and may not ever
exist that is near insanity fear is a
choice
[Music]
our deepest fear is not that we are
inadequate our deepest fear is that we
are powerful beyond measure is our light
not our darkness that most frightens us
your playing small does not serve the
world there was nothing enlightened
about shrinking so that other people
won't feel insecure around you not just
in some of us it's in everyone I was
that guy who ran away from absolutely
everything that I got in front of me but
not many people knew that in my mind I
was always afraid the whole life I was
afraid I had this voice this this
conscious that would always be battling
these two hey you got to get up and do
something I didn't want to do you know I
was just afraid but I would that that
voice would force me to get up I was
afraid of water to terrify the water and
I'd learn how to swim but a lot of us
have these fears that you just don't
want to face and I have a lot of had a
lot of and actually created the person
who's in front of today and we'll get
into that but I'm just a scared big as
what I was and but I was watching these
guys going through hell week class to 24
and these guys ringing the bell quitting
dropping their helmet down rolling out a
lot of guys just leaving and it made me
reflect on my fears my insecurities and
I saw real men when I thought were real
men who were staying who were overcoming
adversity who were overcoming all these
different things that I had blamed so
many people in my life for my dad
my mom for not being there and so I sat
there for a while and I was like not
gonna like I got it no one's gonna come
to help me no one's gonna come to help
me just give me against me period and so
I had to man up and I said of course the
guys start doing is facing every fear I
have not what it is man you know these
things would keep me up at night no one
people who are hearing this day they
will never really understand and grasp
when you face these things and so many
things how they keep you up and haunts
you at night you can either live your
dreams or live your fears and I think
the majority of people actually are not
living their dreams but are living their
fears so I want to ask you a question
[Music]
what are your fears
[Music]
what are you afraid of what are you
scared
[Music]
because we all have fears don't we we
all have something that's blocking us
that's holding us back and as we begin
to look at life what we realize is that
the reason that most people are not
living out their true potential and not
doing all of the things and they would
really like to do is because of fear
[Music]
some people called fear false evidence
or expectations appearing real
you must Willy be willing to go forward
and face your fears again again and
again because you're never going to have
a a fear free existence if some fear is
acceptable and legitimate there are some
things that you you really should be
afraid of now you shouldn't allow it to
immobilize you you acknowledge it you
take it into account and you carry
yourself accordingly there are times
that we should proceed with caution
but it's the difference between being
stopped by fever it's a difference
between having a fear and the fear
having you so what do we do one
acknowledging and knowing that it's okay
don't condemn yourself for being afraid
it's perfectly fine to have some fears
you acknowledge your fears you embrace
those fears and then
you act on whatever it is that you fear
because once you embrace it see what you
resist will persist I'm motivated by
fear fear you know that fear of fear I
hate being scared to do something and I
think what developed in my in my early
days was the the attitude that I started
attacking things that I was scared
you can't be scared to die for the truth
the truth is the only thing that's ever
going to because
how do you eliminate fear from your life
and you know I don't think you ever did
I think you become courageous you see
Freitas people are not people without
greatest people are typically face the
things like their there's no courage
without fear whenever you go to do
something that you've never done me our
fear is going to step in before afraid
of something it's because we don't
understand that theory is caused by
ignorance the unknown but when you
understand it you know your leaves don't
permit fear to control your life
absolutely refused to someone said fear
knocked on the door faith open it and
there was below there was no one there
you see you eliminate fear through
intelligent action face the thing you
fear and there will leave you
fears caused by the unknown if there's
something you're afraid of respect
understanding talk to someone who's a
professional in that particular area but
for goodness sake don't let it control
your life anymore think of the people
that are afraid to go into their own
business they're afraid to move to the
place they'd read their life to gosh
there are afraid to ask the girl and the
guy for a date do and their life is
drying up shrinking we're only here for
a short
make it a good base
if you're afraid of fighting and
altercations go change it so if you're
afraid of heights
work on some rock claim climbing if
you're afraid of the water time to swim
it's time to surf is trying to get out
there if you're afraid of pull-ups if if
you're pretty pulp to do poles if you're
in squats do squats if you're afraid of
public speaking go speak in public if
you're afraid to start a business start
a business make it small and on all
these what you have to do is you have to
mitigate the risk you have to ease
yourself into it but you got to go for
it and eventually you will overcome that
fear
but the hard part is you gotta take that
first step you've got to take that first
step to begin to inoculate yourself
against the fear against the fear of the
thing that's in your mind because that
fear generally is in your mind what
fears am i holding on to what fears that
I'm a lying to imprison me that's
keeping me from breaking out that's
keeping me from living up to my true
potential that's keeping me from really
being happy that's keeping me from
having a sense of adventure and
excitement in my life what's what's
keeping me from controlling my destiny
and the majority of the fears that we
have are not life or death fears and not
those kind of fears but through our
imagination we blow them out of
proportion and we give them more power
than they actually have or deserve and
we permit them to govern our lives we
permit them to determine how far we can
stretch out or our dreams and
discovering our stuff and most people
ladies and gentlemen
have stopped living their dreams because
of the lessons they've learned from
lying for things they've picked up
because we've only been born with two
fears the fear of a loud sound of the
fear falling and all the other fears of
fears we learn fears we pick up whatever
you're scared of your life the value you
brought to the planet what have you
played up you're stronger so as we begin
to look toward the future and look at
what will it take for us to break
through those fears one acknowledging
the fear knowing it's all right some
fear is healthy beginning to know that
your dreams your passions your drive to
achieve whatever it is you want as it
has more power and meaning it will move
you past your fears as you begin to feel
that you deserve it your passion and
goal is so strong the fears won't
[Music]
