- 0:02Speaker 1: Fear.
- 0:03Speaker 2: It's not real. The only place that fear can exist
- 0:08Speaker 2: is in our thoughts of the future. It is a
- 0:12Speaker 2: product of our imagination, causing us to fear things that
- 0:16Speaker 2: do not at present and may not ever exist. That
- 0:21Speaker 2: is near insanity. Fear is a choice.
- 0:30Speaker 3: Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate. Our
- 0:33Speaker 3: deepest fears that we are powerful beyond measure. Is our light,
- 0:37Speaker 3: not our darkness that most frightens us. You're playing small
- 0:40Speaker 3: does not serve the world. There is nothing enlightened about
- 0:43Speaker 3: shrinking so that other people won't feel insecure around you.
- 0:46Speaker 3: Not just in some of us, it's in everyone.
- 0:52Speaker 4: I was that guy who ran away from absolutely everything
- 0:57Speaker 4: that I got in front of.
- 0:57Speaker 5: Me, but not many people knew that.
- 1:01Speaker 4: In my mind, I was always afraid.
- 1:04Speaker 5: My whole life.
- 1:04Speaker 4: I was afraid, but I had this voice, this conscious
- 1:08Speaker 4: that would always be battling me and saying, hey, you
- 1:10Speaker 4: got to get up and do something I didn't want
- 1:12Speaker 4: to do. You know, I was just afraid, but I would.
- 1:16Speaker 5: That voice would force me to get up.
- 1:18Speaker 4: I was afraid of the water, terrify the water, and
- 1:23Speaker 4: I learned how to swim. But a lot of us
- 1:25Speaker 4: have these fears that you just don't want to face.
- 1:28Speaker 4: And I have a lot of them, had a lot
- 1:31Speaker 4: of them, and that's where it created the person who's
- 1:33Speaker 4: in front of you today. And then we'll get into that.
- 1:36Speaker 5: But just a scared big as what I was.
- 1:40Speaker 4: But I was watching these guys going through hell week
- 1:42Speaker 4: class through twenty four and these guys ringing the bell, quitting,
- 1:45Speaker 4: dropping their helmet down, rolling out, a lot of guys
- 1:48Speaker 4: just leaving, and it made me reflect on my fears,
- 1:52Speaker 4: my insecurities, and I saw real men when I thought
- 1:56Speaker 4: were real men, and who are staying, who are overcoming
- 1:59Speaker 4: a verse, who were overcoming all these different things that
- 2:02Speaker 4: I had blamed so many people in my life, my dad,
- 2:06Speaker 4: my mom from not being there. And so I sat
- 2:09Speaker 4: there for a while and I was like, man, I
- 2:10Speaker 4: gotta I've got it. No one's gonna come to help me.
- 2:15Speaker 4: No one's gonna come to help me. Just give me
- 2:17Speaker 4: against me, period. And so I had to man up,
- 2:21Speaker 4: and I said, of course you gotta start doing his
- 2:22Speaker 4: facing every fear I have, no matter what it is, man,
- 2:26Speaker 4: And and these things.
- 2:27Speaker 3: Would keep me up.
- 2:28Speaker 4: And I know one people who are hearing this, they
- 2:31Speaker 4: will never really understand and grasp when you face these
- 2:35Speaker 4: things and so many things, how they keep you up
- 2:37Speaker 4: and haunt you at night.
- 2:41Speaker 1: You can either live your dreams or live your fears.
- 2:47Speaker 1: And I think the majority of people actually are not
- 2:50Speaker 1: living their dreams, but are living their fears. So I
- 2:56Speaker 1: want to ask you a question, what are your What
- 3:05Speaker 1: are you afraid of?
- 3:07Speaker 5: What are you scared of?
- 3:16Speaker 1: Because we all have fears, don't we We all have
- 3:20Speaker 1: something that's blocking us, that's holding us back. And as
- 3:26Speaker 1: we begin to look at life, what we realize is
- 3:29Speaker 1: that the reason that most people are not living out
- 3:32Speaker 1: their true potential and not doing all of the things
- 3:36Speaker 1: that they would really like to do, it's because of fear.
- 3:44Speaker 1: Some people call fear false evidence or expectations appearing real.
- 3:55Speaker 1: You must be willing to go forward and face your
- 3:58Speaker 1: fears again and again and again, because you're never going
- 4:04Speaker 1: to have a fear free existence. I mean, some fear
- 4:07Speaker 1: is acceptable and legitimate. There are some things that you
- 4:11Speaker 1: really should be afraid of. Now you shouldn't allow it
- 4:14Speaker 1: to immobilize you. You acknowledge it, you take it into account,
- 4:19Speaker 1: and you carry yourself accordingly. There are times that we
- 4:22Speaker 1: should proceed with caution. But it's the difference between being
- 4:27Speaker 1: stopped by fear. It's a difference between having a fear
- 4:32Speaker 1: and the fear having you. So what do we do
- 4:36Speaker 1: One acknowledge it and knowing that it's okay. Don't condemn
- 4:41Speaker 1: yourself for being afraid. It's perfectly fine to have some fears.
- 4:48Speaker 1: You acknowledge your fears, you embrace those fears, and then
- 4:53Speaker 1: you move on. You act on whatever it is that
- 4:56Speaker 1: you fear, because once you embrace it, see what you
- 4:58Speaker 1: resist will persis.
- 5:02Speaker 5: I'm motivated by fear.
- 5:05Speaker 4: Fear, you know that fear of fear.
- 5:10Speaker 1: I hate being scared to do something.
- 5:14Speaker 2: And I think what developed in my early days was
- 5:18Speaker 2: the attitude that I started attacking.
- 5:22Speaker 5: Things that I was scared of.
- 5:27Speaker 1: You can't be scared to die for the truth.
- 5:33Speaker 2: The truth is the only thing that's ever going to
- 5:35Speaker 2: be constant.
- 5:39Speaker 6: How do you eliminate fear from your life? And you know,
- 5:44Speaker 6: I don't think you ever did. I think you become courageous.
- 5:49Speaker 6: You see, courageous people are not people without fear. Grgeous
- 5:54Speaker 6: people are people that are basic things.
- 5:56Speaker 1: They fear.
- 5:57Speaker 5: There's no courage without fear.
- 5:59Speaker 6: Whenever you go to do something, that you've never done before.
- 6:02Speaker 6: Fear is going to step in. If we're afraid of something,
- 6:06Speaker 6: it's because we don't understand it. Fear is caused by ignorance,
- 6:10Speaker 6: the unknown. But when you understand it, you know fear leaves.
- 6:18Speaker 6: Don't permit fear to control your life. Absolutely, refuse to.
- 6:24Speaker 6: Someone said, fear knocked on the door, Faith opened it,
- 6:27Speaker 6: and there was below. There was no one there. You see,
- 6:29Speaker 6: you eliminate fear through intelligent action. Face the thing you fear,
- 6:35Speaker 6: and fear will leave you. Fear is caused by the unknown.
- 6:40Speaker 6: If there's something you're afraid of, go study, understand it,
- 6:44Speaker 6: talk to someone who's a professional in that particular area.
- 6:47Speaker 6: But for goodness sake, don't let it control your life anymore.
- 6:52Speaker 6: Think of the people that are afraid to go into
- 6:54Speaker 6: their own business. They're afraid to move to the place
- 6:56Speaker 6: they'd greet their life to go. You're afraid to.
- 6:58Speaker 5: Ask the girl or the guy birthdays.
- 7:01Speaker 2: What do they do in their life?
- 7:02Speaker 5: Is drying out, shrinking.
- 7:05Speaker 6: We're only here for a short making a good facing.
- 7:13Speaker 5: If you're afraid of fighting and altercations, go chanin jiu jitsu.
- 7:19Speaker 5: If you're afraid of heights, work on some rock claim climbing.
- 7:23Speaker 5: If you're afraid of the water, it's time to swim.
- 7:26Speaker 5: It's time to serve, It's time to get out there.
- 7:28Speaker 5: If you're afraid of pull ups, If you're afraid of pulps,
- 7:30Speaker 5: to do pulps. If you're in squats, do squats. If
- 7:32Speaker 5: you're afraid of public speaking, go speak in public. If
- 7:38Speaker 5: you're afraid to start a business, start a business, make
- 7:42Speaker 5: it small. And on all these what you have to
- 7:44Speaker 5: do is you have to mitigate the risk and you
- 7:45Speaker 5: have to ease yourself into it, but you got to
- 7:48Speaker 5: go for it and eventually you will overcome that fear.
- 7:56Speaker 5: But the hard part is you got to take that step.
- 8:00Speaker 5: You've got to take that first step to begin to
- 8:04Speaker 5: innoculate yourself against the fear, against the fear of the
- 8:08Speaker 5: thing that's in your mind, because that fear generally is
- 8:11Speaker 5: in your mind.
- 8:15Speaker 1: What fears am I holding on to? What fears that
- 8:20Speaker 1: I'm allowing to imprison me?
- 8:24Speaker 7: That's keeping me from breaking out, That's keeping me from
- 8:28Speaker 7: living up to my true potential, that's keeping me from
- 8:31Speaker 7: really being happy, that's keeping me from having a sense
- 8:35Speaker 7: of adventure and excitement in my life. What's keeping me
- 8:40Speaker 7: from controlling my destiny.
- 8:44Speaker 1: And the majority of the fears that we have are
- 8:47Speaker 1: not life or death fears, and not those kind of fears.
- 8:52Speaker 1: But through our imagination, we blow them out of proportion,
- 8:57Speaker 1: and we give them more power than they add actually
- 9:00Speaker 1: have or deserve, and we permit them to govern our lives.
- 9:06Speaker 1: We permit them to determine how far we can stretch
- 9:09Speaker 1: out on our dreams and discovering our stuff. And most people,
- 9:15Speaker 1: ladies and gentlemen, have stopped living their dreams because of
- 9:20Speaker 1: the lessons they've learned from life or things they've picked up.
- 9:24Speaker 1: Because we've only been born with two fears, the fear
- 9:27Speaker 1: of the loud sound of the fear falling, and all
- 9:29Speaker 1: the other fears of fears we learn fears we pick up.
- 9:33Speaker 1: Whatever you're scared of, little life, the value you brought
- 9:38Speaker 1: to the planet far more moring.
- 9:40Speaker 5: Whatever you feed them.
- 9:42Speaker 1: You're stronger. So as we begin to look toward the
- 9:45Speaker 1: future and look at what will it take for us
- 9:49Speaker 1: to break through those fears, one acknowledging the fear, knowing
- 9:53Speaker 1: it's all right. Some fear is healthy. Beginning to know
- 9:58Speaker 1: that your dreams, your past, passions, your drive, to achieve
- 10:02Speaker 1: whatever it is you want, as it has more power
- 10:05Speaker 1: and meaning. It will move you past your fears as
- 10:08Speaker 1: you begin to feel that you deserve it. Your passion
- 10:11Speaker 1: and goal is so strong, the fears won't matter.
