We Use Purpose to Overcome Fear

We use a person’s purpose to overcome fear. Why? Because living your true purpose in life is by far the fastest and most fun way to live those fears out of existence. No therapy. No traumatic fear-releasing processes. No delving into childhood trauma. Just facing your fears and overcoming them, as you do what you love to do.

And the beauty of a true purpose is that it does that naturally. It has a natural desire built into it to take action. It has a natural inspiration built into it to live a big dream. It’s built on passion, so you enjoy what you do and love sharing it. There’s enough enthusiasm and direction in all of that to kinda ‘force’ you to face and overcome your fears — you have to, otherwise you’ll struggle, fail, or quit.

Here’s how that works.

Fear creates a challenge in your purpose — indecision, overwhelm, doubt, resistance, confusion, etc. You have to overcome that challenge to keeping moving forward, make progress, and get it done. And you want to do it, because your purpose is so much fun, and nobody wants to fail doing what they love to do. So you just do it, solve it, fix it — and in the process you overcome the fear that was blocking you.

And once you do, you walk away from that problem thinking, “Wow. That wasn’t so bad after all. What was I so worried about?”. You quite literally prove your fears wrong in that scenario. That new belief/experience gets added into your subconscious, as a new counteractive layer of positivity — and that’s permanent. It’s always in there, always counteracting that layer of fear that created that challenge in your purpose, so that layer of fear loses it’s subconscious power over you, forever.

Rinse and repeat.

Every small problem, issue, doubt, or challenge overcome, is a small layer of fear resolved. And what a fun way to do it — living your dream! And if you’re living your true purpose as an income — you get paid for it as well. And if you’re doing it as your full time living, you’re resolving your fears 40+ hours a week. You’ll never find a better way to do that much ‘therapy’ in your life, and have that much fun!

And of course, your true purpose doesn't have to be your job. You live your purpose any way you can, as often as you can, to add more joy back into your life. That could be as a hobby, passion, business, or career — after hours, part time, or full time.

But you spend a third of your life in bed, and a third of your life at work, so you may as well have a comfy mattress and bloody awesome career. It’s not easy living your purpose as a career — I’ll give you that — especially if your livelihood depends on it. But then neither is working 40+ hours a week in a soulless job that you hate!

And what else are you going to do?! If you don’t resolve your fears, they will get progressively worse over time, and eventually limit and suppress every part of your life. That will just make you unhappy, and eventually quite miserable.

The first warning sign that fear is taking over your life, is a subtle yet constant nagging dissatisfaction with your life choices. And if you’re GenX, that’s otherwise known as a midlife crisis.

We’ll help anyone live any purpose in any way. But we do focus a lot on helping help GenX Australians pivot out of their soulless job, and into a more rewarding career — whether that’s after hours, part time, or full time. It doesn’t have to be that way, and we’ll show you either way, but it’s our preferred way to overcome fear.

But before you can make any of those decisions, you first have to know what your true purpose is, which is what we help you find in our Level 1 online workshop. And then we show you how to overcome fear so you don’t wreck it, in Level 2 online workshop. And then we show you a suite of powerful tools and processes to tackle any remaining fears, in our Level 3 online workshop.

And it’s never too late to start.
