How do we master fear?
"Resistance has no strength of its own. Every ounce of juice it possesses comes from us. We feed it with power by our fear of it. Master that fear and we conquer resistance." Steven Pressfield
We master fear by doing the hard things.
The hard things that we believe will get us what we know we want.
Think of it as exposure therapy.
Acclaimed actor Henry Fonda never got over his stage fright but he kept performing and achieved the esteem of his peers as a result.
Jewelry designer Kendra Scott was turned down again and again by outlets -- but she persevered and her business empire is now a global phenomenon.
But what about you?
Here's a great exercise to get you started, especially when you don't know what it is you want to do.
Talk to people.
I'm serious.
Next time you see someone you find interesting -- talk to them.
Walk up to that total stranger and ask them about themselves.
If you think, "He looks cool. I wonder how he learned to dress like that?"
Or, "Dang, her hair is cute. I want to know how she did that."
If you have any thoughts like that about a total stranger, approach and compliment them.
Be curious.
No one cares if you're nervous or trip over your words.
If anything, people will think it's charming and sincere.
People will like you.
People will be impressed by your courage.
If you've read this far, I already know you're a real one.
So get out in the world today and gift people your presence.
The Kingdom of Heaven is Within, y'all.
Change YOU, Change the world . . .
