Reflecting over a company conference I was at last weekend, I am considering this idea of being fearless. I have heard people talk about being fearless in your business or life goals over the last couple years, and I’m trying to figure out what that really means. Maybe not necessarily what it means to the people that I hear say it, but what does it mean to me?
Fearless Defined
The Oxford Dictionary says fearless is an adjective meaning showing a lack of fear. If we break up the word parts, fear as a noun is;
an unpleasant emotion caused by the belief that someone or something is dangerous, likely to cause pain, or a threat.
Fear as a verb is to be afraid of (someone or something) as likely to be dangerous, painful, or threatening.
Idea Of Being Fearless
So, when I hear people talk about this idea of being fearless, as in being fearless in my business or life goals, I have to wonder; do we really want to lack fear? How nice would that be! Sounds pretty comfortable! But wait…if I’m supposed to be fearLESS in growing my business I shouldn’t feel pain or discomfort or danger or threat, right? That’s where my mind goes, but that just isn’t the case with me. For me, every time I pick up the phone I feel this overwhelming explosion of fear in my gut. What does that mean? Is there something wrong with me? Maybe this isn’t the right path or journey for me?
That is absolutely NOT the case!! What I have come to understand over the last couple months of self-development is this; if I’m in a place where I’m not afraid, I am getting comfortable. If I am comfortable where I am, that means I am not growing. I talked about “Fear: Is It Holding You Back?” in a Live Facebook video last week. When we are in this area, or zone, of comfort, there is no fear involved. When we are comfortable, we are not growing, we’re stagnant. There is nothing good about that.

Questions to Consider For Yourself
You have so much potential. So much to give to the world. What are your God dreams? What impact do you want to have on the world, or what legacy do you want to leave when you are gone? These are all questions that I don’t knot the complete answer to, yet, for me. I may never know the answer in full while I am on this Earth, but each day I will strive to know more. Each day I will grow and be better today than I was yesterday. Each day I will give a little more, and a little more of myself. Impact the world!! What will you do to impact the world? The only way to find out is to live in the growth zone. What will you do TODAY to live in the growth zone?
