Stop Negotiating with the Version of You That’s Afraid. Fear Is Loud—But Your Purpose Is Louder.
There’s a version of you that’s ready.
Bold. Brave. Unapologetically driven.
But it’s often buried beneath the voice of fear.
And here’s the problem:
Most of us keep negotiating with fear like it deserves a seat at the table.
We let it vote.
We let it comment.
We even let it lead.
Fear Isn’t the Problem—The Conversation Is
Let me tell you about Ada.
She had a vision to start her own coaching practice, but she kept postponing—waiting to “feel more confident.” Every time she sat down to plan, that voice of fear would show up:
- “What if you fail?”
- “What will people say?”
- “You’re not ready.”
Ada did what most of us do—she talked to fear.
She tried to explain herself, justify her dreams, soothe her doubts.
But fear doesn’t need negotiation.
It needs a decision.
Why Purpose Must Be Louder
Fear’s job is to keep you safe.
But purpose?
Its job is to set you free.
You can’t follow both.
You either let fear manage your life—or let purpose lead it.
One keeps you hidden.
The other calls you higher.
The Voice of Fear vs. The Voice of Purpose
Every major breakthrough in your life will come after you stop asking fear for permission.
How to Silence Fear and Amplify Purpose
Here are practical steps to shift the power dynamic in your mind:
1. Name the Fear—Then Dismiss It
Write it down. Speak it out. But don’t let it stay unanswered. When you label the lie, you disarm its influence.
Example:
Fear: “No one will listen to you.”
Truth: “My voice has value, and the right people will hear me.”
2. Take Micro-Bold Actions
Confidence isn’t built in silence. It’s built in motion.
Take one small action while you’re scared. Action turns volume down on fear.
3. Create a Purpose Reminder Ritual
Every morning, revisit your “why.” Journal it. Speak it aloud. Purpose must become the loudest voice you hear.
4. Cut the Comfort Zone Contracts
Comfort zones often masquerade as peace, but they’re really fear in disguise. Break the contract. Say no to playing small.
5. Surround Yourself with Purpose-Led People
Fear loves company. So does purpose. Choose your tribe wisely. Being around people who live boldly makes courage contagious.
Fear is the silent thief of dreams. It whispers doubts, builds walls, and convinces us that safety is more important than growth. Read Breaking Free here: How Letting Go of Fear Unlocks True Freedom and Success.

A Quick Story to Remember
There’s a story about a lion who was raised among sheep.
For years, he bleated and followed until one day he saw his reflection in the water.
He didn’t look like the others.
He looked like the king he truly was.
But fear kept him quiet… until one day, he roared.
And everything changed.
Your roar is waiting.
Stop negotiating with the sheep-like fear.
Start responding to your lion-like purpose.
