Starting point is 00:00:51 starts now. Welcome to today's episode. I have a great episode planned for you, but before we dive into it, I want to remind you of the contest that we are once again holding. If you want to go into the drawing for the 45-minute free coaching session, strategy session with me, go to mwfmotivation.com, download our free ebook, which is on the very front page of mwfmotivation.com. And that will put you on our email list, which will then allow you to go into the drawing. And also if you are already part of the email list, make sure that you get us out of your spam folder because Gmail and a lot of other ones are complete lockdown. So
Starting point is 00:01:35 even if you've downloaded our book, but never gotten an email from me, that could be the reason why. But if you send me an email, just respond to one of the emails that I had sent you in the past. I will put you in the drawing as well if you're already on our email list. So today what I'm going to talk about is how to live fearlessly. And if today's audio quality is not 100%, I apologize. Today is going to be one of those 18-hour days of mine where I'm actually traveling and it just makes it easier to record when I'm on the go. And I have to speak about this with you guys because I am in a very fired up state. And I think that it's going to help you.
Starting point is 00:02:08 So how to live fearlessly. Now, when we talk about fear, you have to realize that we're born with fear. Fear is a defense mechanism. And the thing about it is courage itself is the feeling of fear. To feel fear and to do it anyways. To not care about the fear. So unless there is some fear, you can't really live courageously. And courage, the best part about it, is a muscle that we can develop. Now, some people will stand up and they'll help as
Starting point is 00:02:37 many people as they possibly can and they'll help everybody else. But the problem is they'll help everybody else, but then when it comes to themselves, they won't help themselves. And they won't stand up for themselves and do the things they need to for themselves. This happens a lot with mothers where they have to give and give and give. And when it's time to actually give to themselves, they don't have any energy to or they think it's selfish to. And a perfect example of this is, you know, of someone that's willing to give for somebody else but not for themselves is if you were to take a woman and someone was beating up on their child and say this man was three times the size of them, the woman, and he's just beating up on their child, what are they going to do?
Starting point is 00:03:16 They're not going to sit back and be fearful of this person. They're going to do whatever they possibly can to get this person that could be three times the size of their child. But then when it comes to actually stepping up and actually taking time for themselves and doing what matters to them, they won't do it. They'll do everything for themselves. And this happens for men too, where people are just so selfless that they give and give and give.
Starting point is 00:03:37 But then when it's time to conquer their own fears and time to step up themselves, they won't actually do it. So what we're going to talk about is your fears. And we're still going to talk about your story that you have, because we went over last episode. So if you haven't listened to the last episode where we talk about your limiting story, I would recommend going back before you dive in. So what are you afraid of? And the best part about it is, if you're afraid of something, we can help you overcome it. And that's the best part. But we have to figure out what it is that you're afraid of. So what you need to do is you need to take a pen and paper,
Starting point is 00:04:09 not if you're driving, but whenever you get to a pen and paper, if you're driving, just listen, try to figure out what it is. But we need to figure out what we're afraid of, what our fears are, what is the main thing that's holding us back, what's the fears that's holding us back, and what's the story that we're telling ourselves that's holding us back? And everyone has a fear. Most people's fear has to deal with that I am not enough. Not smart enough, not rich enough, not happy enough, not fit enough, not loved enough, I'm not worth enough. It's something like that. And our fear is that we're not enough of whatever it is, then we won't be loved. And we've all come up with a story.
Starting point is 00:04:49 And why you overcame that story will be part of your story. Why you overcame the past. Like for me, alcoholic father was my past. And my story that I want to build is how I overcame that story. And you could either be the story of how you overcame whatever that story is that you're telling yourself, or you could just be part of that story and you could be a victim of that story. And that story is actually your excuse of why it is not your fault. That's what you're using it as. So I'll give myself as a perfect example of this. My story
Starting point is 00:05:21 could be one of two things, that I had an alcoholic father and it's not my fault that I am the way that I am. And I'm not successful because of my alcoholic father. And, uh, and I could be an alcoholic because of my alcoholic father. And that could be the excuse that I give myself. My story is my excuse, or my story could be why I overcame that. I had an alcoholic father, so I will do everything that I possibly can to make sure that I break that cycle. And I'm not the alcoholic son from the alcoholic father, because we know all too many times that people say that alcoholism runs in the family. And it's a, it's a, in our DNA, they say, I think that's a load of crap. What I think it is, is that it's nature and nurture more than anything else, that that's how they see that they're raised and that's how they think they need to grow up to be.
Starting point is 00:06:07 So it's the story that either really builds us up or it's a story that completely destroys us. And here is where fear starts to go beyond your basic fears. So when you're a child and your mother is, we all know, we've seen mothers that have the ugliest kids you've, ugliest kids you've ever seen in your entire life. But when you see them, they're like, oh my gosh, isn't my baby just the most beautiful thing in the world? And then you see them on Facebook and you're like, man, that kid looks like a lizard. But the mom's like, this is the most beautiful child ever. And the reason why is because when a woman has a child and a woman is breastfeeding,
Starting point is 00:06:45 they have a hormone that's put into their body that's actually called oxytocin. And oxytocin is also known as the cuddle chemical. It's the bliss hormone that makes the mother so in love with their child that no matter what that child looks like, no matter what that child does, it could poop all over itself. It could throw up. It could do all of this stuff. No matter what it does, it can never do anything wrong. Now, fear starts as a human for us as babies when that oxytocin starts to wear off and your mother goes from, you can't do anything wrong until you do something wrong and she gets mad at you. And what happens is when you're a baby, that messes you up because you think you're so used to just unconditional mother's love all the time.
Starting point is 00:07:29 And the first time she gets mad at you, the first thing that creeps into that is that fear that creeps into a child's head that if I do this again, then my mother won't love me. And that's the biggest fear that all of us have is that we won't be loved. We won't be enough this. We won't be enough that. We won't be enough this. We won't be enough that, which will mean that we won't be loved. And that's what happens. That's when fear really creeps into our brains more than anything else. And the average child statistically is reprimanded eight times more than they're encouraged. They're reprimanded eight times more than they're encouraged. They're reprimanded eight times more than they're encouraged.
Starting point is 00:08:06 So think about the environment that the average child goes through is just being reprimanded eight times more than they're encouraged, which means that eight times more in their head, they're building up, I'm not going to be loved. I'm not going to be loved. I'm not going to be loved. So you could see how it can build this entire world for us of fear and of we're not enough. And if we don't do this, we won't be loved. And that's where fear really starts to creep into our brains as children.
Starting point is 00:08:33 So if you have children, try to encourage them more than you reprimand them, because that is a actual statistic eight times more. So with your fears, whatever your fears are, what you have to find out is what are you missing out on by having this fear? And fear for most people, for some people, it's completely just they can't do anything. They just get paralysis by this. They get paralyzed. Fear for some people is just like a straitjacket of their lives. It's a straitjacket that keeps them from doing anything at all. And the fear is something that you've, the story that you have, and fear and story can
Starting point is 00:09:09 be kind of used between each other, just the words themselves. But the story that you've told yourself over and over and over and over again of maybe you're not enough, or let's just use an example that you're never going to be fit enough, that you're fat. Let's just say that, that your fat is a story that you've told yourself. You've told yourself that over and over and over and over again, that it's actually turned into a belief. It's something that is so deep into your core that that is actually who you think you are. And a belief is only one thing. It's the fear. I'm sorry, not the fear. It is the absolute certainty in your brain. A belief
Starting point is 00:09:45 is something that is absolutely certain. If I ask you what color the sky is, you're going to say blue. Why? Because you're absolutely certain. You believe that it's blue. You're absolutely certain of it. And you've been telling yourself this over and over and over again. If you say, we'll take fat for instance, just you can use your fear in this, whatever you want to do. But you've told yourself that you're fat over and over and over again, and it's turned into a belief in your head. You can't turn away from that belief. There's actually a man that once said,
Starting point is 00:10:13 tell a story big enough, loud enough, and long enough, and soon enough people will believe you. Tell a story big enough, loud enough, and long enough, and soon enough people will believe you. Do you know who told that story? Whose quote that is? Hitler. Hitler's quote is that you tell a story big enough, loud enough, long enough, soon enough where people will believe you.
Starting point is 00:10:35 What story and fear have you been telling yourself that's so big, that's so loud in your head, and you've been telling yourself for so long that you actually believe it at this point? Is it, you know, if you've been saying I'm fat, I'm fat, I'm fat, I'm fat, I'm fat. Well, of course you're going to be fat because you're never going to be able to kick that belief because it is 100% true and certain in your brain, just as you are certain that the fricking sky is blue. So it's, it's something that you have to realize. And it's, think of it this way. This is something that Tony Robbins talks about where he says, you know, if you are at the dinner table as a child and your parents say, Hey, can you pass the salt? And you go, you're just really hungry.
Starting point is 00:11:14 And you're like, I don't know where the salt is. And they're like, Oh, well, it's not in the table. Can you get the salt? And you say, I don't know where the salt is. And they say, go get the salt. And you say, I don't know where the salt is. I don't want to get it. Cause all you want to do is you eat your food. And they say, listen, get your ass up and go get the salt. And you say, listen, I don't know where the salt is. I don't want to get it. Cause all you want to do is you eat your food. And they say, listen, get your ass up and go get the salt. You're going to go, all right, fine. And you get up and you walk towards it and you go, I don't know where the salt is. The whole way you're trying to go to the cabinet. I don't know where the salt is. I don't know where the salt is. I don't know where the salt is. I don't know where the salt is. And then you get to the cabinet and you look and you're like, I'm looking up on,
Starting point is 00:11:39 on down everywhere in between. I don't know where the salt is. I don't know where the salt is. And then you go to your parents. You say, I don't know where the salt is. And they get up and they walk over and they actually go, it's right here on the second shelf, right in front of you. And what happened was you believe so much to your core that you didn't know where the salt was, that you were blinded to the fact that the salt was right in front of your face. We condition ourselves. You have conditioned yourself. I have conditioned myself. Every single person has conditioned themselves. And it's rarely your fears that hold you back. Have you ever feared something that when you overcame it, you were just like, oh, that actually wasn't a big deal. It's not usually
Starting point is 00:12:15 your fears that hold you back. The fear is just the thing that you keep telling yourself over and over again. The story is the foundation built by your fears that you've told yourself over and over again. The story is the foundation built by your fears that you've told yourself over and over again. Our story, our fears, all of that, that is the enemy if you choose for it to be. What is the only way to overcome your fear and all of your fears and your story that you've been telling yourself? You have to actually divorce yourself from your fear and from your story itself. It's like a relationship that's terrible and it's beating you down and it's the worst thing for you, but you're staying in that relationship. You need to actually literally divorce that story and that fear that you're holding in
Starting point is 00:12:58 your head. And the only way to actually change things is to draw a line and say, you know, if we're using fat as an example, you have to draw a line and say, you know, if we're using fat as an example, you have to draw a line and say enough is enough. I'm not going to be this weight. I'm not going to be this way at all. I'm not going to, you know, and here's the other thing that you have to realize. If you're 40 pounds overweight, let's say this as an example, and you say, oh, you know what? Well, my entire family is fat. That's just kind of the way it is. It must be in my genes. I'm big boned, whatever it is. Well, you have to realize that that's just something that my
Starting point is 00:13:29 father was an alcoholic. Doesn't mean that I'm an alcoholic. And the thing about it is just because everybody in your family is overweight, doesn't mean that you have to be overweight. It just means that you have to work a little bit harder to lose that weight. So the story, you have to divorce yourself from it. It's like a relationship that's terrible. It's beating you down and you're staying in that relationship. You have to draw the line and say enough is enough. I will not be overweight anymore. I will not be fat anymore. I'm going to change this because it's not impossible for you to lose weight. We all know it's not impossible for you to lose weight. But the problem is you just have to start telling yourself that you are
Starting point is 00:14:03 not fat. You have to start to stop the story of I'm fat. That's the reason why that you're doing it. That's the reason why you're eating the way that you are. The reason why you are 40 pounds overweight or whatever it might be. If there's a way to get out of something, humans will figure out a way to get out of it. So you have to burn the boats. If you haven't listened to the episode on burn the boats, I would go back and listen to it. You have to cut off any possibility that whatever it is that your fear and that your story that you're telling yourself is, cut yourself off of that possibility that those can even be in your life anymore.
Starting point is 00:14:35 What can you overcome? What can you do to overcome? You have to use repetition and you have to use intensity. Repetition and intensity. Repetition and intensity. What do I mean by that? repetition and you have to use intensity, repetition and intensity, repetition and intensity. What do I mean by that? Is if the story you've been telling yourself, and once again, if fat is not your story, these are all interchangeable, whatever it is. Think of it, whatever yours is.
Starting point is 00:14:54 If fat is your story though, and you're saying in the back of your head, if you just thought, man, I must just be fat. I must just be fat. My family's fat. I'm going to be overweight the rest of my life. The repetition has to be, I'm not going to be fat. I'm not going to be fat. I'm not going to be fat. And it needs to be not just an affirmation. An affirmation is just something you repeat to yourself. An incantation is an affirmation with using your physical body and actually using your words and the intensity in your words anymore. So it needs to be, it can't be, oh, I'm not going to be fat anymore. It needs to be like, I'm not going to be fat anymore. I'm not going to be fat anymore. And this is something that you could do. I do this in my car when I'm completely alone with my incantations as I grip
Starting point is 00:15:33 the steering wheel as hard as I fricking can. And I scream and use the intensity and use my body because what I'm trying to do is build that repetition and that intensity so hard that what I'm actually doing is storing it in my subconscious quicker by using my nervous system, getting my body into it. And that's something that Tony Robbins teaches. So most people, they base their fears though off of the past of what has happened to them. And all of that, what has happened to you in your past, maybe you were a fat kid or whatever it might be, difficult times don't define you. And you have to go, you know what? I need to figure out exactly what my fear is. I need to figure out exactly what my story is. And I need to look at it. I need to call out its name and I need to face my fears and I need to face my story,
Starting point is 00:16:20 look at it in the face and say, I'm going to kick your ass and I'm not going to stand up for it anymore. It's like Rumpelstiltskin. When you call out its name, you can look at it and the fear just vanishes. It's like Rumpelstiltskin. So you could say, you know, maybe your story is, I'm not enough. I'm not enough. I'll never be loved. Maybe that's your story. It might be that I'm not loved. Well, then you look at it and you look at it. You understand this is my story. This is what I've been telling myself that I'll never be loved. Well, then what you tell yourself with repetition and with intensity and with using your body and using your voice, and I mean scream, like do whatever you can,
Starting point is 00:16:56 is you need to tell yourself, I will be loved. I am enough. I will be loved. I am enough. And you just say it over and over and over and over again. If you have a 30-minute car ride, do you know how many times you could say that to yourself on the way to work and the way back to work? These are what incantations are. They're affirmations with using your body and with using your voice and doing it intensely. And when you face your fears, the best part about it
Starting point is 00:17:17 is, is you get to see where your real strength comes from. So let me give you a couple of tips. It's actually three tips to overcome your fears and to overcome your story. Number one, you need to develop new strategies. So if you're, if you're, let's say your story is that you're fat, right? Well, it's probably not that you're just fat. The problem is, is that your strategies that you've been using to try to overcome your weight aren't successful and you need to figure out what you need to do to change it. So maybe what you do is you get someone who's fit, who's not a friend because friends will let you off the hook. Sometimes you get a trainer who's already in
Starting point is 00:17:53 really good shape. That's going to hold your feet to the fire and have them help you develop new strategies. If you're not good with money, you need to develop new strategies. So the first thing is you have to develop new strategies for whatever it is. The second thing is that you need to develop a new story. Like I said, if your story is that you're fat, well then you need to overcome it and say, I'm not going to be fat. I'm not going to be fat. And you just say with the repetition, with the intensity, you need to develop your new story. You need to put yourself in that state. And that's actually number three. So number three is put yourself in a new state. So you need new strategies on how to change your story. Number two, you need a new story to actually change the way your life is going to be. And number three, you need to put yourself into a new state.
Starting point is 00:18:38 And this is something that's really big. This is probably the biggest thing that I learned from the Tony Robbins is that we can change our state no matter what. If you see somebody, if I were to say, explain somebody who's depressed. If you were to just explain somebody who looks depressed, what are the qualities that this person, what do they look like? You're going to say, oh, you know, they're probably slunched over. They probably talk really slow. They probably take shallow breaths. And then I say, what does somebody look like that's confident? Someone that's just ready, that's fearless, that's going to go out there and take over the world. What do they look like?
Starting point is 00:19:09 They stand up tall is probably what you're going to say. They talk with power. They believe in themselves. They have their chest high. They have their head high. That's the state. You can change your state at any second, any second at all. And it's easy to get into habits of our states, of what we're used to
Starting point is 00:19:26 getting into. We've gone there so much that it's become home dust. So some of us, some of you out there might be, you've been depressed for so long, you've been sad for so long, you've been doubting yourself for so long that even though that state sucks, you take yourself back there all the time because you're just, it feels like home. Home can, that little area, even though you hate it, you still go back to it. And so the way you get yourself out of your state is to make a radical move. And what that is, is you stand up, you get your body moving. And the thing about changing your state, it's how you stand, it's how you move, it's how you breathe, all of these things. So if you think of someone who's fearless, what does that person's qualities look like?
Starting point is 00:20:08 Like we said, they're going to be standing tall. Their chest is going to be out. Their head's going to be up. They're going to be breathing in really deep, intense ways. If there's completely fearless, someone that's about to run into a fire, what do they look like? Well, can you make yourself look like that? When I had the episode of act as if, can you act as if you're fearless all the time? Not even all the time. Let's make it easy. Can you act as if you're fearless all the time? Not even all the time. Let's make it easy. Can you act as if you're fearless when you need to be that way? With your body, you can create energy. Anybody ever, you ever been really super tired and then you decide, you know what, I have to go to the gym and you go to the gym and when you leave the gym, you have more energy than when you walked into the gym, what happened is your body created that energy and created the energy through your motion, through getting up, through moving, through
Starting point is 00:20:49 whatever it is, the heavy breathing, through the intense muscle movements, through the sweating, through all of those things. And you ever notice that sometimes people grunt and they scream inside of the gym? Well, it's also that intense movement, that repetition, but also the intensity of the way that they're saying, you know, they intensity of the way that they're saying, you know, they're pushing the weight, they're screaming, whatever it might be. And you might not be that person, but what you need to know is that your body can create energy. It can create energy and you just have to tell it to. So you have to stand tall. You have to put your shoulders back. You have to put your head up. You have to have your arms strong at your side.
Starting point is 00:21:22 And if you're overweight, you need to just say, I will not take it anymore. I will not take it. And I'm not even saying it. And I'm literally in my car right now in a parking lot because I'm traveling. And I don't want to scream it into this mic because this isn't as good of a mic as my one that I have at home. But you need to scream to yourself, I will not take it anymore. I will not take it anymore. I will not take it anymore. Over and over and over again. I will not be fat anymore. I will not be fat anymore. And you need to develop and take that fear and take that fear and turn it into power. Turn it into power. And if you can't move, if you're sitting inside of it, maybe you need to become really confident. You need to change your state, but you're in the middle of a group and you're about to give a presentation. How do you do it? This is what you do. You focus on what
Starting point is 00:22:04 you want and what you're envisioning needs to be is what you do. You focus on what you want and what you're envisioning needs to be on what you want versus envisioning on what you don't want. Get good in visualization. If you're about to go into a meeting and you need to visualize something, maybe if you're about to go into a meeting, you go into the bathroom, you close the stall, and what you do is you visualize exactly how you want. And you put yourself in that peak state because when you're in that peak state. Because when you're in that peak state, when you're in that feeling of just absolute fearlessness and powerful, you have a small window of time to tell yourself your new story, to tell yourself the fears that you're going to overcome,
Starting point is 00:22:43 and to reinforce, to self-reinforce, to store it in your subconscious. Because here's the deal. If you've been telling yourself all of these fears for so long, and it's developed the story that you're trying to overcome, and it's built this foundation that you've built this crappy house that you're now living in of emotion, the best part about it is, if you've been telling yourself this story and these fears for so long, you can start telling yourself these new stories
Starting point is 00:23:02 and these ways that you're going to overcome these fears over and over and over again and build a new foundation for a house that's strong, that's peak performance, that's the absolute best version of yourself and you can live in that house instead of this little crappy house that you've been living in
Starting point is 00:23:17 that isn't going to serve you anymore. So here's the thing. If you want to take control of your life, there's only one person that can do that. That's you. And you need to do something about it and you're either going to do something about it now or you're just going to stop doing something about it. And you're just going to be like, well, whatever. My life is the way that it is. Well, if you want to live that way, you probably shouldn't listen to the episodes anymore because we're not on the same. You're not obviously trying to grow with the rest of the community. You know that you want to grow. You know you want to get better. Else you wouldn't listen to this. So it's either time that you take control. And you stop living the fears.
Starting point is 00:23:49 And you stop living your crappy story. Or you just develop the same habits. And keep the same habits. And you live the exact same life. Here's the thing you need to know. Your fearful part of your brain will never go away. That part will always be inside of you. But here's the best part,
Starting point is 00:24:06 that courageous part of you that also lives inside of you as well. That courageous part also lives inside. Can you think of a time in your life when you were absolutely courageous and you did something and you're like, wow, I really just did that. And it might've been completely unlike you. You might be the most passive person, but there was something that you did where you're just like, I'm not going to stand up for it. Think about that person as much as you can, because that person lives inside of you and put that person in charge more often. Give it a name. I know that there was a, there was a thing that I was watching online with Tony Robbins, where he always, whenever he takes somebody who's having a whole lot of problems, he says, act like you're fearless.
Starting point is 00:24:42 Act like you have so much power. Act like this, you know, stand like you have power, scream out your name, scream out, do whatever you need to do. Say yes and get powerful with it. And he said, name this person. And what do you want you to do is name that person that is not the fearful, um, passive person that might be inside of you. It's the person that you want to call on when you need to be fearless and when you want to overcome your fears. So give it a name. It's like your dog. How do you make your dog your dog? Anybody have any idea? What you do is you love it, you call it to you, and you give it a name. You love your dog, you call it to you, you make sure that it knows that you're the owner, and you give it a name.
Starting point is 00:25:21 You do the exact same thing with the person that you want to be. You love the person that you want to be. You give that person a name. The fearless side of you. And what you do is you call it to you whenever you need it. Whenever you need it. Just like your dog. You're going to call it to you. You're going to give it a name.
Starting point is 00:25:36 You're going to love that side of you. And what you're going to do is you're going to call it whenever you need it. And that's part of the acting as if. Once again, if you haven't listened to the act as if episode. Go back and listen to it. That's the acting as if. Once again, if you haven't listened to the act as if episode, go back and listen to it. That's the acting as if. Becoming the person that you want to be before you actually are that person. You need to become the person first before you can do that. You can't say, oh, well, when I'm successful, I'll be this person. No, you need to be that person first and then you will become successful. And here's the deal. Everyone's life
Starting point is 00:26:06 is either a warning to others or it's an example to others. And you're in charge of which one it will be. Is your life going to be a warning of what people don't want to do and don't want to be and don't want to become? Or is your life going to be an example of what other people could be and of what possibilities are out there as well? So here's the deal. You can change your life going to be an example of what other people could be and of what possibilities are out there as well? So here's the deal. You can change your life. You could change your fears. You could change your story.
Starting point is 00:26:32 But the three things you have to do, you have to develop new strategies and you have to change things that you've been doing if you really want to change your life. Number two, you have to develop a new story. You have to build a new foundation and you have to have a new house of emotion that you're going to live in. And the third thing is you have to develop a new state. You have to get into this state of absolute power, of fearlessness, of gripping your car and screaming at the top of your lungs, gripping your steering wheel and screaming at the top of your lungs in your car, of I will not take it anymore, and scream out those incantations,
Starting point is 00:27:05 whatever it might be. It might be that I am enough. It might be that I'm not going to be fat. It is might be that I'm going to lose this weight. It might be that I am going to be loved by somebody. It might be that I, you know, whatever it might be that you want to be a great musician, or it might be that I'm a great artist, or it might be that I'm a great person or that everybody loves me or whatever it might be. You need to scream these things to yourself over and over and over again. And it sounds crazy. I know it does. And it looks crazy. Believe me, people probably think that I'm a freaking psycho and they see me driving on the side of the road and I'm just screaming at absolutely nobody. But what someone thinks of me doesn't matter to me. What matters to me is where
Starting point is 00:27:42 my life goes and what journey I'm on. So I don't care what other people think of when they look at me. If they see me and they think I'm going crazy, hey, I'll probably never see them again. I really don't care what they think of me. So your story, your life, everything about you can be either a warning for others, or it could be an example for others. You're in charge of that. So with that, I hope you enjoyed this episode.
