I empower go-getters to get past their stubborn insecurity so they can crush their goals, outgrow their fears and create

prosperity in their businesses and lives. It's time to rise and shine. Let's dive

deep. Hey guys you are listening to episode number 356 of the Confidence

podcast this is one of our quick hit Confident Spirit episodes are faith-based

episodes and they are quick to the point we start with the thought of the week, we go to a

verse of the week and we close with the prayer of the week. Today we're

talking about how to use confidence to fight fear. Our thought of the week is

this. We fight fear where Our thought of the week is this. We fight fear with our words and our actions, not

our feelings. And so here's someone yesterday told, at this point actually when I made these notes it's not yesterday but a few days ago

Asked me a question so simple I can't believe I didn't know how to answer it. She asked me

What I was afraid of and to answer it. She asked me what I was afraid of. And to be honest, I wasn't sure. Because you see we had been talking about some low-grade anxiety. Because you see we had been talking about some low-grade anxiety.

Because you see we had been talking about some low-grade anxiety that I'm feeling and

something that been in my heart and I couldn't quite shake it or put it to words but she wisely directed me to dig deep, look at the anxiety, peel it back, and realize that anxiety is always rooted in fear. Stress always is fear-based. Anytime we're not walking in love and joy and peace and abundance

and just kind of like this, well I like to call the Joa de Viva, the French like really confident living it's we're walking in fear and fear is something

we all experience I think one reason I love Eleanor Roosevelt so much is that with that quote, I'm sure you've heard me quote at this point a thousand times to do one thing every day that scares you. And when you can do that that you can then really deepen your confidence

and what is interesting is it's not like go find something that scares you or

if you're scared one day She and so many other thought leaders

recognize that we all experience fear,

not just once a day, but multiple times a day.
