I want to start this 5-Minute Friday off with a quote from W. Clement Stone: “Thinking will not overcome fear, but action will.”
FEAR is the #1 reason why people never achieve their dreams.
Instead of thinking about what could go right, many of us worry about what could go wrong. Whenever we want to chase our dream, fear creeps in and asks, “What will other people think? Will you look silly and stupid? What if everything goes wrong?”
And when we live with this fear, it holds us back. It paralyzes us from taking ACTION. We’re so afraid of what could go wrong, we would rather sit around and do nothing. We let the fear win.
If you’ve been living with your fears for a long time, chances are you’ve been letting the fear win, over and over again. Each time you let the fear win, it grows stronger — and by now, it’s become a powerful, dominating force over your life.
You’re going to need to take MASSIVE action if you want to break past your biggest fears. You’re going to need to go all-in.
Don’t try to focus on all your fears at once. Pick one major fear at a time, and then dive DEEP into it, taking action and challenging yourself every day until the fear stops winning.
This is exactly what I’ve done to conquer the biggest fears in my life.
