261: Capturing Fear

Fear can be crippling and truly rob us of our greatest potential. Fear can keep us from taking that new position or doing hard things. How can we overcome fear? Listen in as I share about my experience with fear and the steps I have taken to take control of it instead of it taking control of me.

Quotables

 

  • Perspective and acknowledgment of what was happening really helped me drive out fear.
  • (Fear) is not healthy or productive. It limits your growth, potential and enjoyment.
  • Do you have a strength that you are allowing to be used against you? You have to take the control back.
  • Fear is something you can control. You can manage it by understanding it.
  • If we don’t get ahold of what holds us, we are never going to have the impact we are meant to have. 
  • If we want kids to set goals, take risks and become who they were meant to become- it starts with us.
