Fearless living means you are willing to take chances against all odds, follow a dream and do whatever it takes to achieve it even when everyone is telling you that you are crazy. It means not allowing yourself to stand in your own way. It means being able to tell your truth about everything even when it's not popular. It means being willing to allow you to change your mind about something without worrying how it will look. It means being free.

Most people feel victimized by the world. They will blame their conditions and circumstance on their parent, kids, government, neighbors, boss, God…they'll find a way to blame problems on someone or something else. The two areas that people will play the role of victim most is in finance and relationship: "My wife (boss, kid) doesn't appreciate me", "I would be happier if I had more money", and "I just can't seem to make ends meet."

Many of us have fallen into that game. The problem is that some of us will go to our deathbed still feeling like a victim and not understanding what life was all about. It is all fear. Any negativity you encounter in your life is due to some type of conditioning based on fear. This conditioning is experienced in childhood all the way to where you are now. Basically you become domesticated into being what is considered a good person through reward and punishment. This technique is dominant in our world and is experienced in all areas of life. We obviously don't realize the affects this kind of conditioning has on everyone or we would stop it immediately.

"You can't do that, you're not smart enough." This turns into a fear of being uneducated. This fear is attached to failure, it is easier to make an excuse of lack of education than to actually try something because you are afraid you will fail.

Dominant fears include failure, letting someone down, gossip, looking bad in front of others,  rejection, being alone, and not fitting in. Everyone will experience fear in a different way and depending on their conditioning approach situations differently. But this conditioning limits your belief in yourself and what you can achieve in life. Most importantly you feel like a victim to circumstance because no matter what you do you just feel like you are not good enough.

Imagine your world for a moment differently. Imagine you were no longer afraid of disappointing anyone. You understood that everyone was entitled to their opinion and it has no affect on you and how you live your life. You are no longer afraid of being hurt because you do not allow any abuse into your life. You no longer judge yourself according to anyone else's expectations. You find happiness in everything you do. You know failure is non-existent. You walk around with your heart open to the world and every day is like magic. You no longer fear anything or anyone. You are able to be yourself always and live life the way you want to live it. You are free.

It is possible to live your life this way. It is possible to know no limitations to your potential. It is possible to be free and find true happiness. It is possible to be anything you want to be. Stop making excuses and be alive every day.
