I’m excited to announce that the latest book in the Sports for the Soul series is here! It’s called Victory Favors the Fearless: How to Defeat the 7 Fears That Hold You Back and it’s a life-changer.
I believe there is an inner power locked inside every person and the only way to unleash it is to develop a FEARLESS attitude that dreams big and attacks life. Victory Favors the Fearless is all about developing that fearless attitude and defeating the fears that try to hold you back from living the life you were born to live.
The fact is, you will never achieve your biggest goals or live up to your true potential if you let fear hold you back.
Fear is such a dangerous emotion and does a lot more damage than most people realize. Here’s why.
Neuroscientists tell us that our brains are rewired based on the intensity and repetition of the thoughts we think. This is not a metaphor. The neural pathways in your brain are actually rewired by the consistent thoughts you think. The more often and the more intensely you think about something, the more proficiently those positive or negative thoughts drive every subsequent thought you think, decision you make, and action you take. If you think negative thoughts over and over again, your mental outlook will quite literally get “stuck in a rut.”
Everything you do follows your mental outlook. That is how “you become what you think about,” as psychologists say. And that is why it’s so important to protect your mindset and proactively take control of your thoughts.
Fearful thinking is one of the most damaging and destructive thought patterns you can fall into.
Fears are usually repetitive—you tend to ruminate about them over and over again. Fears are also intense—they can weigh you down and make it hard to think about anything else. This combination of frequency and intensity is why fear is such a damaging emotion.
Your fears hold you back from living the life you were born to live. If you’re ever going to achieve success, happiness, and peace of mind, you must first defeat your fears.
Specifically, there are seven common fears you must learn to defeat if you want to live a happy and successful life:
1) The fear of what other people think.
2) The fear of change.
3) The fear of making the wrong decision.
4) The fear of missing out on something better.
5) The fear of not being good enough.
6) The fear of failure being permanent.
7) The fear of being “due” for a setback.
In some form or another, every major worry and self-destructive thought is rooted in one of these seven fears.
Like previous books in the Sports for the Soul series, Victory Favors the Fearless is an inspirational fable set in the world of sports. It’s the story of a boxer, Mickey McGavin, who must learn to defeat the seven fears that are holding him back—in the ring and in life.
Each time he learns to defeat one of these debilitating fears, it propels him closer to his ultimate goal: a shot at the heavyweight championship of the world. Mickey learns from a wise trainer that he must first defeat the fear in his mind if he’s going to have any chance of defeating his opponent in the ring.
Boxing is the metaphor for life in this book, but the techniques used for defeating fear are universal. No matter your profession, fear is your ultimate opponent. The boxer who fears losing his next fight must contend with the exact same fears the salesperson has about the next sale, the speaker has about the next speech, the entrepreneur has about the next product launch, or you may have about taking the risk and going after your biggest dreams.
To defeat fear, you must have a fighter’s mentality. You must attack fear head-on. That’s the only way to beat it.
The thoughts we choose to think make us who we are. This book will show you why it’s so important to conquer your fears and why victory—in sports, in business, and in life—always favors the fearless.
There’s no reason to let fear hold you back any longer. You can choose to be fearless. You can choose to be victorious in the game of life.
