Easier said than done right!

I am still afraid of the things that keep my full potential in the dark.

But I don’t feed my fear, instead; I question my fears with my abilities. My ability to perform a particular task. And when I challenge my fear. I overcome it and eliminate it once and for all.

It takes practice and a proactive approach but we all can get the job done.

It’s the beginning of a new year and what better time to let go of fears than now.

Not tomorrow. Not next week. But TODAY

It’s no secret that the majority of people all around the world give up literally right at the finish line of their dreams. Remember the story of guy who gave up 3 feet above the gold in the book “Think and Grow Rich”

Michele Torres, founder – HFS Company said: – “You don’t have to have all the answers. Seek out people with expertise where your skills may be lacking. Use their knowledge to assist you in achieving your goals. Creating synergies of purpose can create extraordinary results.”

You, right now, are on the brink of your biggest success.

You have the choice.

You have the freedom to dream. 

You have the opportunity…

To take steps in the right direction. 

You may not reach the outcomes you want. 

But you can control the process and steps you take to do your best

Let’s make an inventory of what is stopping you must living your best life and working in a job you love?

The first step to overcoming our fears is changing the way we think, act and speak!

Here are proven steps each one of us can take to break the cycle of fear and live to our highest potential. 

• Remove Limiting Beliefs

Let’s ask ourselves the following questions:

Where in my life do I feel out of integrity with myself?

What important feelings am I not letting into my awareness?

Where in my life am I not telling the full truth?

Where in my life have I not kept my promises?

These questions will lift you out of the limiting story you’ve been telling yourself.

“Those who have the courage to discover and bring forth their genius break through to unparalleled heights of productivity and life satisfaction” – Gay Hendricks

Gay Hendricks explains how to “Create our ultimate success mantra for love, abundance, and creativity”

Step 1: Set the Intention

For example, you can use “I expand in abundance, success, and love every day, as I inspire those around me to do the same.”

Repeat this mantra a few times in your mind to feel how it resonates within. Then whisper it to yourself to let it resonate in your conscious mind. After that, say it out loud and listen to its resonance around you. 

Step 2: Meditate verbally.

Find a quiet place, close your eyes, and rest for a minute until your mind settles down. Whisper your ultimate success mantra softly to yourself, pause, and then rest for 15 seconds. Then whisper the mantra softly to yourself again, pause, and rest for another 15 seconds. Repeat this cycle for 5 – 10 minutes. When you feel it’s time to stop, rest for a minute before resuming your regular daily activities.

Step 3: Learn to say NO

Give an enlightened ‘No’ when necessary

Be bold enough to turn down any lucrative opportunities to do something that doesn’t align with your zone of genius. Saying ‘Yes’ to things outside your zone of genius can consume a lot of your energy that could be better used to express your genius.

Step 4: Develop an Intentionality Mindset / Growth Mindset

Watch your thoughts, make a note of your actions and be conscious of the words that you speak.

For example, your mind can tell you that you’re unlovable, thus triggering your ego to search for an external source of validation. Therefore, keep revisiting and renewing your ultimate success mantra. Recite your mantra and add something new each time, for example, humming, movement, or deep breathing.

Here’s to your Intentional Success!
