BEING FEARLESS IS THE CATALYST FOR CHANGE

being fearless is the catalyst for change

Nothing is more dreadful than being afraid. This sentiment of fear is the one that can "block" us from accomplishing things that are meant to be accomplished during our lifetime. We often believe that we can’t do things.

Did you know that people are born with two innate fears? The fear of falling and the fear of sound noise. Most of the fears we have today are learned. People learn them at a young age, and they are influenced by their environment and culture.

So, most of the things we do not do is because of our fear, and not because of our inability to do them. Our parents had to manage their learned fears, and most of them were passed down to us, unfortunately. Parents want to protect their children, and it is great. It is wonderful to have caring, protective parents, but what they do not know most of the time is that the fear that we get from them can stay with us for a long time.

Once the little humans print this fear in their beings, everything becomes blurry and uncertain. Then, the road to world discovery is based mostly on fear.

To undo this learning, we first need to become conscious of it and work on dissolving it. It is not an easy thing to do. Research shows that we can overcome our fears by continued exposure to them. We have to manage our fears to be able to keep on going.

What does fearless mean? It does not mean for sure to do things without reason. Contrary to that, being fearless means doing things with precaution but doing it anyway. We know that this way, we can reach that sense of meaning and accomplishment.

Life will always challenge us when doing things, either small or big. What we have to keep in mind is to believe that being fearless is becoming the best version of yourself. We always doubt whether we should start doing something new to have the best result. Our minds will always tell us that is nearly impossible to do a certain thing. Listening to a doubtful mind will never help us overcome our fears. We just have to believe in ourselves and our ability to overcome that fear when it arises. 

Have you ever thought about what you could accomplish if fear of success would not concern you? Whether you wish to succeed in your career or personal life is always up to you! You need to find a way to overcome your fear either in your professional or personal life. You just need to trust yourself and do the best you can every single day. Being fearless is showing up for yourself when you need it the most.

Being fearless means that your innate wisdom is always valued and taken into consideration. Being fearless means that you wish to thrive and can do wherever you need to reach your dreams.

I always say that we need to feel the fear first, embrace it, accept it, recognize it, love it, and do it anyway. There is nothing to lose when we open our minds and our hearts to new possibilities.

What we will gain instead if it's not immediate success is surely a considerable amount of experience and knowledge. When we know, we feel empowered. When we feel empowered, fear seems to fade from our lives.

Life is meant to be lived the way it makes us feel truly alive. Fear will never be of use except when we feel real danger. When we feel fear, we need to distance ourselves from the feeling. Take a deep look at the situation you find yourself in and try to understand it. Start to question it, and see if it's moving you forward. 

When you allow yourself to go through the fear and eventually come out of it, you will gradually become more aware of things. 

Then, your life will begin to change for the better. You will start to feel more confident, and you will begin to tell yourself every morning: "Today, I will be fearless and I will do many things that I never dared to do." 

Remember, that being frightened is not always a bad thing. It has been a survival mechanism for humans for millions of years.
Being frightened and doing it anyway though, will get us where we need to be, to welcome change in our lives.

Roy T. Bennet said: "Don’t be rushed around by fears in your mind. Be led by the dreams in your heart."


My advice to you is, even if the fears rush your mind try to tell them to stay still for a while while you reach your dreams. Life is a journey. Just enjoy the ride! Everything will pass in the end.
