“Fear is an Aberration…”

~~~ The Ultimate Warrior on 11/25/89 before a WWF match against Andre the Giant.

What does that mean anyway? Well, he was famous for giving speeches using powerful words and this post is a shorter version in http://www.mywarriorwritings.com of last week. I actually know the entire thing and it’s part of my meditation. I know that sounds crazy but it’s so effective for me and my journey. Be inspired by whoever you wish but then don’t forget to live out that inspiration everyday. I want to ask you a simple question and hopefully you can answer truthfully…. Are you fearful or fearless? I used to say it depended on the situation but now I choose the latter. The MOST important thing to remember with the word fear is that it has no power over you. None at all! Also, do not compare yourself to others as I always did. I used to think nobody would believe my “fearful” situations but just chalk them up as silly. Everyone else’s were much more important or dramatic than mine.

That was an incredibly tough mindset to get out of. SO VERY TOUGH… Our past really does affect our future whether we believe that or not. Even though some of my life stories weren’t as “drama-filled” as others, I don’t shy away from them now and in fact I defend them. They make us who we are and form us into the people we become. Not everyone is a “risk-taker” or outgoing but that doesn’t mean you are fearful.

Sometimes we hit our stride later but everything is in perfect timing. I always did stuff that wasn’t with the “norm” (like Warrior in a way) but was it considered fearless? Probably not. That used to bother me so much but now not at all. People’s definitions of some words are never the same and they place labels or their OWN experiences over everything. Comparing can become such a nasty habit and some people never outgrow it. Don’t be one of those people as I sure hope you are not. Warrior’s passing has brought me into the most fearless warrior I have ever been. My humility makes this so hard to write but it is very true. There are things I never even dreamed or imagined doing and did fear dominate? NO! Well, I must admit in the beginning it did just a little… I’ve evolved so much since then. We all need to take those chances and risks sometimes since they just may lead to new adventures or experiences.

I am so certain people I know could NEVER have guessed how my life would change these past several years. I have a few other opportunities on the horizon coming up and I’ll share those with you all next week! Be your own fearless self with whatever projects are in the works for you. Keep those dreams active and abolish fear. What is holding you back? Let me guess….. judgments, resources, time, finances, unworthiness, laziness, losing your “comfort zone,” and am predicting others. I’ve been there too with some of these. Listen to that intuition like I’ve said before but life is always a balancing act. Head versus heart. Every single day. Who wins? Such a hard one depending on the circumstance. We should follow the “do what feels good or right for you” saying but not at the expense of becoming penniless or becoming a victim.

Think of all the areas in your life where fear dominates. Possibly try narrowing down that list and conquer a few. I can say to dive right in but realistically, some cannot. Literally speaking, I never did learn how to dive–LOL!! Be able to look back on your life and say how fearless you were or how YOU evolved. Your fearless self doesn’t have to be just like someone else’s. Make your own list and start short and small. Your confidence will increase so much with just one little step outside of what’s “normal” for you. It doesn’t have to be anything extreme like bungee jumping or quitting your job! How about just trying a new food? Painting a room a bright color? Even speaking up for yourself more? That’s mine all the way!!! You will never regret kicking fear to the curb and then you will FEEL so much better–believe me! Replace fear with the new word of FEARLESS. Learn it. Know it. OWN it. Always Believe it. You can also make fear an aberration in your life by just taking little things that will turn into bigger things once you go along.

Try that exercise of making a list that you can work on realistically. Start small with those fearless activities and then gradually add until they become a little more challenging everyday. Remember that fear has no power, you do and you are in charge! I would love to hear your results of this so please leave your thoughts on the comments page! As always, we are in this together spirit friends so I welcome your feedback. Be inspired but continue being an inspiration to others since YOU do make a difference! Let fearlessness win in your life (:
