Are you living out your dreams?

Are you living life as your best self?

Where do you fall short? Where do you need to grow?

Our choices always cost something–so does our fear.

Today is for you if…

If you’re sick and tired of missing out on your best life.

If you desire to push yourself out of your comfort zone but struggle to make it happen regularly.

If you’re ready to own what your fear is costing you and are willing to make the necessary changes to become your best self.

The next question you must ask yourself to go from fear to freedom is: What is your fear costing you?

Question 4 – What’s your fear costing you?

Fear has a hidden price tag; it’s costing you more than you realize.

Let’s look at the nine core fears we discussed in episode 229 and see each of those fears’ price tags.

Fear #1 Fear of Making Mistakes

Stop you from trying.

Never put your dreams out into the world where they can do some good because they’re not prefect yet.

People never feel like they measure up to your standard…including yourself.

Fear #2 Fear Can’t Be Loved For Yourself

Stops you from believing anyone loves you for you.

Stops you from your dreams because you’re busy doing something for someone else.

Fear #3 Fear of Failure

Stops celebrating wins and keeps you pushing yourself past exhaustion.

Stop appreciating someone else’s brilliance because it could outshine yours.

Makes you feel unworthy when you’re not achieving.

Question if you’re loved for what you do or if you’re loved for who you are.

Fear #4 Fear Something’s Missing in You

Live on a rollercoaster of feelings.

People avoid you because it’s too much drama.

Stop you from believing you’re enough.

Push to stand out just to stand out–rebel without a cause.

Fear #5 Fear Looking Incompetent

Miss deeper relationships with you because you’re stuck in your head.

Stop you from starting a project or goal before you get started because you feel like you don’t have enough information or data.

Fear #6 Fear the World Isn’t a Safe Place

Too afraid to move into your dreams because the unknown may not feel worth the risk.

Doubt yourself and not step into your power.

Anxiety gets the best of you, and miss out on trusting God for more.

Fear #7 Fear Pain and Unpleasant Feelings

You’ll stuff pain, and it’ll bite you later.

Shiny object syndrome, but it’ll stop you from finishing what God’s called you to do because you got bored or distracted or it became too hard.

It’ll stop you from experiencing the moment and who you’re with because you always look ahead to what’s coming.

Fear #8 Fear Looking Weak or Vulnerable

Stop you from letting people in.

You may be a marshmallow on the inside, but you’ll show up like you’re wrapped in barbed wire, hurting everyone in your path.

Prevent you from being open and authentic with others, leading to relationship problems and missed opportunities for connection.

Fear #9 – Fear of Losing Connection

Stop you from owning your own life, voice, opinion and brilliance.

Stop you from venturing outside your comfort zone; limit your growth and won’t pursue your dreams.

Cost the deep connections because no one knows the real you.

So, what is fear costing you? Is that the price tag you want to pay for keeping your fear?

You can decide not to buy into the fear. You can choose to walk away.
