I’ve coaching and counseled thousands of people over the last 20 years. I have found that Fear is the #1 hurdle that stops people from moving forward in making significant life changes.
So, I’ve compiled a list of quotes to inspire you on those days when your courage wavers and your self-talk rules your attitude and actions.
“ Fear gives birth to faith” – Lisa Jimenez, from her book, Conquer Fear
“Once I decide to do something, I can’t have people telling me I can’t. If there’s a roadblock, you jump over it, walk around it, or crawl under it” – Kitty Kelley
“Success is about who you become” -Jim Rohn
“There are No Limits on What You can Achieve with Your Life, Except the Limits You accept in Your Mind” - Brian Tracy
“If you can’t, you must. If you must, you can” – Anthony Robbins
“If you don’t risk anything, you risk even more” - Erica Jong
“Too much thinking leads to more confusion. Trust your gut, it’s much more succinct” – Lorraine Cohen
“Whatever you fear most has no power - it is your fear that has the power” - Oprah Winfrey
“Climbing is not about conquering the rock; it is about
conquering yourself” - Jim Collins, Author, “Good to Great”
“The best way to get something done is to begin” - Anonymous
“To understand the magical nature of the mind is to acquire awesome power. It is to understand that at every moment of our lives, we have the power to accomplish everything we want” - Deepak Chopra
“Courage means flying in the face of criticism, relying on yourself, being willing to accept and learn from the consequences of all your choices. It means believing enough in yourself and in living your life as you choose so that you cut the strings whose ends other people hold and use to pull you in contrary directions” - Wayne Dyer
“You can gain strength, courage and confidence by every experience in which you really stop to look fear in the face. You must do the thing which you think you cannot do” - Eleanor Roosevelt
“Watch your thoughts, they become words; watch your words, they become actions; watch you actions, they become your habits; watch your habits, they become character; watch your character, for it becomes your destiny” - Frank Outlaw
“What lies behind us and what lies before us are tiny matters compared to what lies within us” - Ralph Waldo Emerson
“People are not lazy. They simply have impotent goals—that is, goals that
don‘t inspire them” -Anthony Robbins
“It is not because things are difficult that we do not dare; it is because we do not dare that they are difficult” –Seneca
”Life’s weather is but temporary.
It’s the seasons that really matter.
Finding balance in the storm.
Life” - Anon
“When we come to the edge of all the light there is
And must step into the darkness of the unknown
We must believe one of two things
Either we will find something firm to stand on
Or, we will be taught to fly”
-Richard Bach, Jonathon Livingston Seagull (A HUGE Favorite!)
“If one advances confidently in the direction of their dreams and endeavors to live the life they have imagined, they will meet with a success unexpected in common hours” - Henry David Thoreau
“Why wait? Life is not a dress rehearsal. Quit practicing what you’re going to do, and just do it. In one bold stroke you can transform today” - Marilyn Grey
“People who soar are those who refuse to sit back, sigh and wish things would change. They neither complain of their lot nor passively dream of some distant ship coming in. Rather, they visualize in their minds that they are not quitters; they will not allow life’s circumstances to push them down and hold them under” – Charles R. Swindoll
“Our lives are not determined by what happens to us but by how we react to what happens, not by what life brings to us, but by the attitude we bring to life. A positive attitude causes a chain reaction of positive thoughts, events, and outcomes. It is a catalyst, a spark that creates extraordinary results” – Anon

Changing perceptions and the relationship to the fear item seems to be the challenge. It is like that you are heading to a long drop and need to change the direction of your vehicle, but the steering wheel seems stuck and you cant turn the engine off. You need a powerful force to change direction which powers you on to a new and wonderful destination. Is that the power of faith, calling on the force of god or other universal energies.Do you have any thoughts?

Great question Doug,
In my own journey as well as coaching clients, I have found that faith is a critical key to changing directions. The other is working on changing your beliefs. It is a process. Whatever we put our attention on we give power to get stronger. When we are focusing on things we are grateful for, makes us happy, and gives us hope, fear diminishes and can ultimately lose power permanently.
I have seen this occur in my own life and with clients. Inspiring!
I wrote a free ecourse on beginning steps to becoming fearless. Check it out! http://www.powerfull-living.biz/fearlessecourse-signup.shtml
One final thought: fear does have value. Without healthy fear we might place ourselves in harm’s way or do things that cause us undue pain. The fear you describe is unhealthy fear that has become too strong and affects our quality of life.
Thanks for the comment Doug!
Best,
Lorraine
