What is fearlessness?
It is not the absence of fear, rather it is the ability to feel the fear and then conquer that fear.
It is the ability to master your fears to the point that they don’t have any power over you.
The difference between cowardice and courage is what you do with fear.
Cowardice seeks to mask fear, to deny it, to hide it or hide behind it. Cowardice pulls OTHERS down in order to FEEL better or move to another level. Cowardice is the decision take an action or not BECAUSE you are afraid.
Courage seeks to feel fear, to expose it, acknowledge it and then confront it. Courage pulls FEAR down in other to BECOME better and move to the next level. Courage is the decision to take an action or not DESPITE being afraid.
The day you begin to deliberately fill your heart with the faith that comes from the word of God, to move in alignment with God’s purpose for your life, to move in alignment with your passion and gifts, to become one with who God made you to be, to become who you really are, is the day you step into authentic power. It is the day you become truly powerful and courageous. Authentic power is not what you wield over people. Instead, it humbles you, it strengthens you for your purpose, it helps you go through life with confidence and clarity.
Coming into your true power is found in the face of fear, it is found in the choices you make when you are confronted with deep cold fear. It is in your decision to suppress fear with faith, to counteract every fearful thought with faith-filled words.
The only way to become fearless is to conquer fear over and over, and the only way to conquer fear is to exercise faith and live a faith-filled life. When you become truly powerful, fear no longer has a hold on you or your decisions.
