Dakota's Motivating Tips,

Where I give you advice about life and moving forward.

What's going on everybody,

I hope you're having an absolutely incredible day today and that it is going wonderfully.

In the last episode we went over how you need to really sit down and think about where you want to be in 5 years or 10 years or whatever it may be.

Because if you're not really setting a goal as to where you want to be then you probably won't ever move away from where you are right now.

So you need to really sit down and think about it and to really think about where you want to be in your future.

Because if you're not setting that goal and striving to where you want to be then you're not going to have any motivation to do it.

But if you set a goal you're going to want to accomplish that goal and it's going to push you to work even when you don't want to work.

But in this episode we're going to talk about the power of fear.

And you're probably wondering,

The power of fear?

What?

So I think a lot of people look at fear as like a bad thing and how nobody wants to be scared or anything like that.

But I think you should look at it in another perspective because the power of fear is quite tremendous because you can either let fear create or destroy you.

Destroying you is when you just let the fear consume you and you don't really go for it.

It kind of just stops you from accomplishing what you want to accomplish.

Or you can let it create you by overcoming this fear and creating confidence instead of having fear.

Another big thing is a lot of people are scared of failing but success is never this uphill climb just completely uphill.

There's going to be down.

It's going to be like a wave.

It's going to go up and down,

Up and down.

That's just the way success works.

It's never just a marathon of success.

Failure is part of success because no one is ever going to be perfect at something,

Everything they do.

People are going to be good at one thing and other people will be good at another thing.

No one is perfect at everything they do.

Everybody will fail.

That's just the way it works.

But it's the people that get back up and grow from their failures that are the successful ones.

So it's not a question of falling down in life.

It's a question of are you going to get back up?

Because the successful people are the ones that get back up and they continue to try harder and harder and figure out what they did wrong.

You want to know some things about fear.

It's self imposed.

You create it so you can destroy it as well.

So don't let fear consume you.

Destroy it.

Erase it because you don't need it.

So get rid of it.

The only thing you need fear for is to grow confidence in that area.

But after that you don't need it anymore.

So just get rid of it.

Fear turns into confidence when you face it.

Because when you do it more and more you realize how easy it really is and you're going to look back and be like wow why did I even let fear control me?

So turn that fear into confidence.

The body can't do anything unless you have confidence in life.

So you can either sit at home and do nothing and let fear stop you from accomplishing your dreams or you can get out there and just overthrow all those fears.

You make the decisions so don't let fear ruin your chance of being where you want to be.

You need to take control of your life and don't let fear control it because if you're letting fear control it you'll never be where you want to be.

It's going to be scary to get out of your comfort zone.

But once you do you'll realize how amazing it actually is.

Remember if you show up you have a chance.

But if you never show up then you never had a chance.

So you can either grab your dream by your hands and go for it or you can never show up and you'll never have a chance.

Don't let fear control your opportunities.

You need to control them because you have the power to do anything in your life.

So why would you want to let fear control it?

You have so many opportunities so you need to take it by the reigns and really go for it.

Because you can do anything you put your mind to and don't let anything get in your way and you'll have your dreams and you'll be successful.

And when I say successful I'm not talking about money.

That might be success to some people but I mean successful as in having true happiness.

Because when you're doing what you love that is true happiness.

When you have,

You're doing what you love,

You have an amazing family and amazing friends and you're just happy with where your life is.

And that doesn't necessarily mean that you're going to have a lot of money.

But whatever makes you happy that's what successful is.

That's what being successful is.

So don't ever give up on yourself and overcome fear.

Gain confidence through it.

And remember not to be scared of failure because it's part of success.

It's going to help you grow and it's going to help you grow to be the person you want to be.

Anyway,

I think that's going to be it for today's episode and I hope everybody has an absolutely incredible day today and that it goes wonderfully.

And we'll see you on the next episode.

Every word was obvious advice or teachings but it struck many chords and feelings so hard within me. Just REALLY needed this. Will continue to repeat until I have no more fear left because I’m chasing after what I want in life. Thank you thank you.

Like a golf put, if the ball never gets to the hole, the ball can never drop in the cup. The ball may pass the cup and not drop in, but at least we can now put from a different vantage point.
