Act. And I'm sure by now, you know, that I love pulling lessons from movies, especially funny movies. So today let's chat about one of my all time favorite movies, which is Talladega night. Okay, if you've never seen this movie, first of all, what the hell? You need to go watch it because it's so funny. But if you haven't seen it, don't worry, I'll give you the quick cliff notes on it.

The main character, Ricky Bobby, played by the hilarious Will Ferrell, has dreamt of being a NASCAR champion for his whole life. And just as his dream is coming to reality, he has a terrible accident on the track and it leaves him paralyzed by fear. Like 20 miles an hour because he's so scared. Enter his long lost deadbeat dad who comes back into the picture to try and help Ricky overcome his fears and To cure his fear of driving.

ike the most outrageous plan [:

They're right there seemingly ready to attack at any moment. Any moment. But just like Ricky had to learn to drive despite the presence of the cougar, we need to learn to take action despite the presence of our fear. And this is where the real magic happens in manifestation. Because again, it's not just about envisioning what we want.

. So now let's dive a little [:

And these are the boundaries of our comfort zone, the place where our dreams and fears collide. So just like Ricky Bobby had to face his fear of the cougar and get behind the wheel, We too have to face our fears and move forward in our manifestation journey. But here's the beautiful truth. Your fears don't have to disappear to take action.

In fact, waiting for fear to subside before taking action is one of the biggest traps I see with people. Instead, we need to learn to coexist with our fears. We need to learn to move through them in a way that doesn't paralyze us. And I talk about this in a previous episode when I went deep into doable discomfort.

into the pool before we dive.[:

So let me share a personal example. When I first started this podcast, I was terrified. The fear of judgment, of not being good enough, of putting myself out there, it was all there like the cougar in my recording booth. But I knew that if I waited for those fears to disappear, I'd never see them. start. So I learned to record with a cougar present and you know what?

Those fears never fully went away, but they became my co pilots rather than my obstacles. This is the essence of what I want to teach you today. How to take your fears along for the ride as you manifest the life of your dreams. So let's break this down into three key steps. The first one is to acknowledge your fears.

edge our fears. What are you [:

Is it failure? Is it success? And you would be fucking surprised. Fear of success is such a huge one. It's a huge one that's often not spoken. You might fear judgment or change. Write those fears down and make them concrete. Look at them, get them out on the page. Number two is to reframe your relationship with fear.

So instead of seeing fear as an enemy, try to see it as a sign that you're growing. And that you're pushing your boundaries because fear often shows up when we're right on the verge of something great. Number three is to take inspired action. This is where the rubber meets the road. Choose one small action you can take today towards your goal or towards the life that you want to manifest.

station journey. It can be a [:

It isn't just about thinking positive thoughts. It's about aligning your thoughts, your emotions and actions. And sometimes that means driving with the cougar, taking action even when you're afraid. Okay, my friend, I hope this was helpful until next time. Have a beautiful week and keep manifesting epic shit.
