- "We tiptoe through life hoping to safely make it to death." -Unknown
- Fear will always be there, poised and ready to wreak havoc, but we can choose whether we're going to engage with it or turn on the lights, drown it out and crawl past it.
- We've made being in fear a habit.
- Most of the time we have no guarantee that what we fear is going to even happen and that if it does, that it's going to be scary!
- All it takes to turn the fear factor around is learning to be comfortable in, instead of terrified of, the unknown.
- ❓Is your fear greater than your faith in the unknown (and yourself?) OR is your faith in the unknown (and yourself) greater than your fear?
- Life is either a daring adventure, or nothing. To keep our face towards change and behave like free spirits in the presence of fate is strength undefeatable.
-Helen Keller
- ⭐️ On the other side of your fear is freedom.

- Navigate your way through the jungle of fear
- View fear from your rear view mirror
- Envision your challenges from the future, look back on them from a place of victory, and they will lose much of their power to paralyze you.
- Our greatest fears are the greatest waste of time.
- Flip the fear
- Fear is all about how you choose to look at things, so by changing your perspective on it you can let the feat of NOT doing the thing you're scared of fuel your quest to greatness.
- Be in the moment
- ⭐️ You deplete the much-needed energy you need to kick ass by freaking out before something even happens.
- Cut off the stream of crap
- Be more conscious of the information you absorb
- Don't think of anything upsetting in bed at night
- ‼️ Our minds turn into gigantic magnifying glasses that make all our fears 100 percent bigger when we're lying there as a captive audience at 3 AM, in bed, with nothing to distract us.
- Love Yourself.
- And you will be invincible.
