  Welcome to Real Talk for Real Life, where we're realizing everyone is always
• 0:06
  learning and living your full experience.

  I'm your host, Coach C, and this is your Fearless Friday episode.
• 0:15
  That Friday feeling, feeling myself focused, favored, and fearless.
• 0:22
  Happy Friday, y'all. I woke up feeling myself today.
• 0:26
  I got that fresh cut, that fresh retie, a fresh mindset, and fresh faith.
• 0:34
  And I walk into this Friday knowing there isn't a single thing that can come
• 0:38
  my way today that I cannot handle.
• 0:42
  Not because life promised it would be easy, but because God has already proven
• 0:48
  he'll carry me through whatever comes next.
• 0:52
  I'm just built that way. Matter of fact, I'm feeling myself focused, favored, fearless.
• 1:00
  Now, before somebody mistakes confidence for arrogance, let's clear something up.
• 1:06
  Feeling yourself isn't believing you're better than everybody else.
• 1:10
  Feeling yourself is finally believing what God already knew about you.
• 1:16
  It's walking in rooms without shrinking. It's using your gifts without apologizing.
• 1:22
  Is showing up without waiting for permission.
• 1:26
  For far too long, we've and I've been conditioned to ask, who am I to?
• 1:33
  Who am I to start the business? Who am I to launch the podcast?
• 1:37
  Who am I to write the book?
• 1:39
  Who am I to lead? Who am I to be successful?
• 1:43
  Who am I to make six figures? Who am I to be healthy?
• 1:47
  Who am I to be happy?
• 1:50
  Who am I to receive favor? Somewhere along the way, we were brainwashed into
• 1:56
  believing there was one acceptable path.
• 2:00
  Get this degree, get that title, have this amount of money, know these people,
• 2:06
  then maybe, maybe you'll be qualified.
• 2:10
  But can I offer you another question?
• 2:12
  Who am I not to?
• 2:16
  Who am I not to use the gifts God placed inside me? Who am I not to dream big?
• 2:21
  Who am I not to expect favor?
• 2:24
  Who am I not to walk confidently?
• 2:27
  Who am I not to believe that what's for me is already making its way toward me?
• 2:34
  See, confidence rooted in purpose doesn't offend me.
• 2:38
  It inspires me because confidence says, I know who gave me these gifts.
• 2:46
  Favor says, I know I didn't earn everything. Some doors only opened because
• 2:51
  God's hand was on my life.
• 2:54
  And fearless? Fearless doesn't mean I don't get nervous. Fearless means fear
• 2:59
  no longer gets the final vote.
• 3:01
  So today, walk like you're focused. Speak like you're favored.
• 3:06
  Move like you're fearless.
• 3:09
  Not because everything is perfect, but because the one who created you never
• 3:15
  made a mistake when he made you.
• 3:17
  Here's your fearless homework. Today, I want you to stand in front of a mirror
• 3:22
  and ask this one question.
• 3:24
  Who am I not to become? Then write down three gifts, three strengths,
• 3:30
  and three opportunities you.
• 3:33
  You've been shrinking away from. Pick one.
• 3:38
  Take one bold step today because confidence isn't something you find,
• 3:42
  it's something you finally decide to wear.
• 3:45
  Until next time, stay focused, stay favored, stay fearless, and remember you're far from finished.
