  Welcome to Real Talk for Real Life, where we're realizing everyone is always
• 0:06
  learning and you're living your full experience.
• 0:11
  This is your Motivational Monday episode. Faith will turn fear upside down.
• 0:19
  And listen, this Motivational Monday, I want to talk about something that is
• 0:24
  at the very core of who I am. faith.
• 0:28
  Whenever somebody asks me to describe myself or I have to write a bio,
• 0:33
  one of the first things I say is, I am a woman of faith.
• 0:39
  And I don't say that just because I believe in God.
• 0:42
  I say it because my faith fuels me. It helps me forget fear.
• 0:47
  And when I can't forget it, it helps me forge through it.
• 0:52
  Because let's be clear, faith does not mean fear never shows up.
• 0:58
  Baby, fear will pull up.
• 1:00
  Fear will tell you you're not ready. Fear will tell you you're not qualified.
• 1:06
  Fear will tell you what could go wrong.
• 1:10
  Fear will remind you of the last time something did go wrong,
• 1:15
  but faith, faith will turn fear upside down.
• 1:20
  Because for me, faith produces something I call confidence.
• 1:25
  Confidence is showing or knowing that because I have a powerful creator within
• 1:31
  me and beside me, there is nothing that comes into my life that I cannot handle.
• 1:39
  But hold on, because there is a caveat. I still have to do the work.
• 1:45
  Faith isn't me sitting around waiting for God to drop the finished product in my lap.
• 1:51
  No, ma'am. No, sir. Faith says, I believe it's possible.
• 1:58
  Work says, now get up and participate in the possibility.
• 2:03
  You can pray for the opportunity and prepare for it.
• 2:07
  You can believe you're called and develop your craft. You can trust God and
• 2:12
  fill out the application.
• 2:14
  You can have faith and go to therapy. You can believe your life can change and
• 2:20
  start changing your habits.
• 2:23
  See, that's confidence to me.
• 2:25
  It isn't believing that everything will be easy. It's believing that whatever
• 2:31
  comes, I'm equipped to walk through it.
• 2:34
  So when fear says, what if you fail?
• 2:37
  Faith turns it upside down and says, but what if I fly?
• 2:42
  When your fear says you're not ready, faith says, then get ready.
• 2:48
  When fear says you can't do this, faith says, watch me work.
• 2:54
  And that is your Motivational Monday reminder. You don't have to wait until
• 2:59
  you're fearless to move.
• 3:01
  Move scared. Move uncertain. Move while your knees are shaking if you have to.
• 3:08
  Just make sure you're moving with faith because fear is a feeling and it's not a forecast.
• 3:15
  Here's your fearless homework. I want you to identify one thing fear has been keeping you from doing.
• 3:22
  Not 10 things, not your whole life plan. One, write down, what am I afraid of?
• 3:31
  Then underneath it, write, what does my faith say about it?
• 3:36
  And finally, what is one action I can take this week that proves I'm willing to do my part?
• 3:44
  Then go do it pray about it prepare for it and put some work behind it because
• 3:52
  faith may not make fear disappear but faith can certainly,
• 3:56
  turn fear upside down listen decide commit succeed keep learning keep living live fearless,
