Speaking Life Over Ourselves and Others: Part Two of Overcoming The Four Fatal Fears


Speaking life over ourselves and others is a powerful practice that involves the use of positive affirmations and constructive self-talk. It is the act of consciously choosing to nurture a positive, growth-oriented mindset while shedding the burden of debilitating fears. When we consistently affirm our capabilities, worth, and resilience, we create a nurturing environment for success.


It is equally important to extend this practice to others. Encouraging and affirming others in their pursuits not only strengthens your own commitment to positivity but also fosters a supportive community that collectively conquers our fatal fears. (This is the second of a two-part post.) By speaking life over yourself and those around you, you create an atmosphere of encouragement and empowerment, where success becomes a shared goal.


These questions and affirmations can further deepen your self-reflection and help you understand and overcome your fears:


1. What is your purpose?

Clarifying your life's purpose and how your actions align with it can be a powerful motivator for facing your fears.


2. What is your passion?

Identifying your passions and interests can provide the enthusiasm and drive needed to overcome obstacles and fears.


3. What gives you confidence?

Recognize the sources of your confidence, whether it's past accomplishments, supportive relationships, or personal strengths. How can you tap into these sources when facing your fears?


4. How do you motivate yourself and others?

Reflect on the methods and strategies you use to stay motivated. Can you apply these techniques to help conquer your fears and inspire others to do the same?


5. How do you see yourself?

Your self-perception plays a significant role in overcoming fear. Consider how you view yourself and whether your self-image aligns with your aspirations and goals.


6. What is the worst that can happen if you don't face your fear?

Visualizing the consequences of not confronting your fear can serve as a powerful reminder of why it's essential to move forward.


7. Who can be your accountability partner or mentor in this journey?

Having someone to hold you accountable and offer guidance can be invaluable. Consider seeking a mentor, coach, or a trusted friend who can support you.


8. What are your core values, and how do they relate to this fear?

Examining how your values align with your fears can provide a sense of clarity and conviction to overcome them.


9. What lessons can you learn from past failures or fears you've overcome?

Reflect on your past experiences, particularly those where you confronted fears or failures. What valuable lessons did you gain from these instances that can guide you now?


As you answer these questions and internalize the affirmations, you will develop a deeper understanding of your fears and the tools necessary to conquer them. Remember that the journey towards overcoming fear may be challenging, but it's also incredibly rewarding, as it opens doors to personal growth and the fulfillment of your aspirations.


"So a man thinks in his heart, so he is."

This ancient proverb underscores the power of your thoughts in shaping your reality. Embrace positive and empowering thoughts to influence your actions and outcomes.


Give yourself permission to succeed.

Sometimes, we subconsciously hold ourselves back due to self-doubt or fear of success. Acknowledge that you have the right to succeed and prosper.


Give yourself permission to lose, and to fall down and get back up.

Understand that setbacks and failures are a natural part of any journey. Grant yourself the freedom to make mistakes and learn from them without letting them define you.


Success is within reach for all of us, but it often requires confronting and conquering the four fatal fears that hold us back: fear of failure, fear of rejection, fear of the unknown, and fear of being wrong. By embracing positive affirmations and speaking life over ourselves and others, we can weaken the grip of these fears and pave the way for growth, achievement, and self-improvement. Remember, faith comes by hearing, and the words we choose to listen to can shape our path to success. So, let us choose words of empowerment, encouragement, and resilience as we navigate the challenges of life on our way to success.
