Have you ever wondered who’s behind the little voice in your head that tells you, “You can’t do this. You don’t have what it takes. Why even try?” His name is fear and he plays the role of antagonist in the story of your life.
Conquer your fear. It keeps you from being your best and robs you of seeing the best in others. Ultimately, fear hinders your personal growth and development because it creates an atmos-FEAR of in-FEAR-iority.
Ralph Waldo Emerson said, “He who is not everyday conquering some fear, has not learned the secret to life.”
We’re often impressed and inspired by those who appear to be fearless. They believe the unbelievable, achieve the unachievable, and conquer the unconquerable. They enter dangerous war zones. Skydive. Do missions work in the outermost parts of the world. Chase tornados. Speak in front of thousands of people. Climb Mount Everest. Fight cancer. Stand up for what they believe. They are unstoppable forces!
But why do we find them so inspiring?
Because deep down, we are the same. We are divinely human, created in the image and according to the likeness of God and endowed with the seeds of greatness. We have been given everything we need to become an unstoppable force! But it is up to us to conquer fear.
Fear will never completely leave us; so, we must choose to be courageous. Courage is not the absence of fear but rather an act of self-leadership when faced with fear. It is displayed each time your spirit leads your emotions to direct your body to take action, doing what needs to be done, in the face of fear. Become an unstoppable force by living life courageously – doing whatever needs to be done, in the face of fear!
Meg Cabot wrote, “Courage is not the absence of fear, but the judgment that something else is more important than fear. The brave may not live forever, but the cautious do not live at all. For now you are traveling the road between who you think you are and who you can be.”
Choose courage over fear and live the rest of your life as an Unstoppable Force!
