Fear is what holds us back and keeps us from living our best life.
1. Respect Fear
Fear gives you a bearing of where you stand and where you shouldn’t stand. In a way, fear can be your compass to navigate instead of an anchor that is holding you down. Allow yourself to feel fear but don’t let it hold you back. Allow yourself to acknowledge it and develop ways to overcome it.
2. Love and Trust Yourself
In order to be loved you need to love yourself. In order to be successful, you need to trust yourself. If you want to be loved by others around you, you need to first love yourself. The confidence you bring to your work shouldn’t be depended on the opinions or acceptance of others. Your confidence needs to come from within by trusting in yourself and your abilities.
3. Find passion in what you do
You only have one life to live. Spend your life doing work that is rooted in passion and truly brings you joy.
