Conquer Your Fears, Live Your Dreams – Inspiring Speech by Tom Bilyeu + Fearless Motivation
One of the most important things any human being can do is rise above being human.
From an evolutionary perspective, the mind has developed to keep you safe.
The mind has developed certain algorithms that made sense from an evolutionary perspective, it made sense when what we had
to worry about was being eaten by a lion jumping out of the bushes, but it no longer makes sense in a modern context.
And when you allow the fear of being ostracized when you allow the fear of stepping outside of your comfort zone, when you
allow the fear of failure to hold you back, that’s when people stay small.
That’s when people never really build the life that they were meant to live because they’re always, from a chemical standpoint,
they’re allowing themselves to be held back by their very humanity, by the very thing that got us here.
But once you realize that now, in a modern context you can take control of the evolution of your own mind you can leverage the
fact that what humans are, what makes us great, isn’t what got us here.
It’s our ability to adapt. It’s our ability to look around at the environment that we live in now and say: How can I shape myself to
make sense in this world?
And the truth of being a human isn’t just that you’re going to feel fear.
It’s that you can overcome that fear.
It’s that you can on a conscious level, literally, manipulate your subconscious mind into growing stronger into feeding you emotions
that will make you feel confident into building the confidence that you need in order to face the difficult things, in order to face
the things that you’re most afraid of, and in fact, if you’re goal oriented, if you’re’ trying to build something that really matters, if
you’re’ trying to be an agent of change, if you’re actually trying to have impact in this world – the thing that you’re going to have
to focus on is overcoming those lesser impulses.
And being able to leverage the fact that we, as humans are adaptation machines…
I know at times it feels that what we really are is failure machines, we’re fear-mongers.
But a the end of the day what makes us great is our ability to change.
And once you understand that, once you understand only you can hold you back, you may not be able to stop yourself from feeling
fear but you can stop yourself from giving into it.
You may not be able to stop yourself from failing but you can stop yourself from giving into it.
It all comes down to how you react. It all comes down to what you decide you’re going to do.
But you’re never going to be able to do that unless you can first overcome fear.
