If you want to become FEARLESS, read this:
“Overcoming fear requires a growth mindset; an attitude that we can grow and change if we choose. Nothing is “locked-in” forever; we can change. It takes time and practice.”
Here are 12 ways you can become fearless:
Here are 12 ways you can become fearless:
1. KNOW YOUR FEAR.
Before you begin overcoming fear, you have to admit that you have it. Perhaps fear is a normal thing.
Write down some aspects of your life where you have fear; getting them down on paper is important because trying to simply think them through never works.

2. STARE AT FEARLESS PEOPLE.
Fill your brain with images of what you want your “future self” to look like.
Connect with as many role models as you can, whether in person, through a book, or online. Use these examples as an energy source to combat your fear.

3. BE OBJECTIVE.
Take an interest in investigating your fears.
Ask yourself about what thoughts generate your fear, where you feel the fear, and how you react to it.
Try to be an objective observer of your own life.

4. BE WILLING TO LOOK STUPID.
Once you are willing to risk the emotional pain of making mistakes, you'll shed more fear than you ever imagined.
Know that making mistakes will help you obtain the information you use to create the correct behaviors.
Fearless men rule the world.

5. SEEK OUT TEACHERS.
It’s never too late to have a teacher; we are never done learning. Seek out someone who scares you a little– Seek out someone who watches you closely, is brutally honest, and gives clear directions on how you can get better at whatever scares you.

6. EMBRACE STRUGGLE.
Most of us instinctively avoid struggle, because it feels like failure & that scares us, but the term “no pain,no gain” is true.
To develop our skills, it is a necessity that we struggle so we must embrace it. Once we struggle, fear slowly disintegrates.

7. READ.
My personal favorite. Reading a good book related to your specific fear can open new doors on how you can get rid of it.
I constantly fill my world with motivational and inspirational books on and related to, the topic I’m dealing with.

8. USE VISUALIZATION.
Imagine yourself in a scary situation without fear. Watch people do things fearlessly that would normally freak you out.
Visualize yourself as that person.
Create a very clear picture of fearlessness in your mind.

9. PUT THINGS IN PERSPECTIVE.
Putting your negative thoughts in perspective is a huge way to overcome fear.
In the grand scheme of life, why are you afraid?
While you are freaking out about something, life is moving on without you. Sometimes it’s helpful to remember this.

10. RELEASE CONTROL.
Of course, we want to be in control, but when we relinquish it we tend to free ourselves up.
Allow yourself to make mistakes—after all, that’s where learning and growth really happen.
We learn from our failures, but to fail we need to release control.

11. THINK ABOUT THE WORST-CASE SCENARIO.
What’s the worst that could happen?
The worst that could happen is you'll fail. But, there's glory in failing too, for you failed trying to overcome your fears.
Just get back up & keep fighting until you win this battle.

12. LOOK WITHIN.
What is the root of your fear?
Meditate on it.
Look inside and ask yourself when the fear started: How far back does your fear go?
Did you have an early failure that has stuck with you?
Explore it.
That’s what life is all about.
