One Fearless Decision Away

0:01 Finish the statement: I fear that... What do you fear? Please welcome Darryl Bellamy Jr.

0:14 I believe that you are one fearless decision away from whatever you want in your life.

0:27 "Darryl as a presenter is amazing. The high energy, getting us pumped right away, it already set the tone for a good presentation. It's infectious." "It was a fantastic event today, being able to hear Darryl talk about being fearless. One of the things that I took away and I actually loved was the butterflies. I always get butterflies in my stomach when I am going up to speak, but instead of running away from those butterflies, learning to embrace them going forward."

0:54 Some of us are hyper alert, meaning we're always looking for some type of fear or something to hurt us in some way. But what I find is that when we feel these things, if we don't have a process for what that next step is, they go around in our head over and over again, and we sometimes stay in that fearful state.

1:09 "Listening to Darryl today, he makes you feel connected to everything that's going on. And the anecdotes that he shares with us, that pulls the audience in." "One takeaway that I'll immediately put into action is embrace your flaws. You're not the only one." "Loved Darryl's session today. He brought a ton of energy. He gave you tools on how to deal with uncertainty, how to embrace that and grow, and it was an awesome message. It was very electric and everybody loved it."

1:45 "I fear that I will fail myself and my family." So sometimes we don't make those jumps. We may not push as hard as we can in our career because we're afraid of failing ourselves and maybe our family. "Imposter syndrome. I'm scared of going into a bigger leadership role based on who I am, and I think of the mistakes that I made and why I shouldn't be in this role." And last but not least, a funny one I got from a student: "I only fear Jesus and my mama!"

2:23 You think that it's going to take these big things, these huge steps. But what I've learned is that what it takes every single day is something very simple: everyday courage. So every day, y'all, how can you take those small steps? Because you'll be amazed at how those smaller steps add up.

2:41 What I learned is fear never stops, right? It just shifts. At the end of the day, I do not want you to be fearless. I want you to feel fear. I want you to feel nervous. But what I want for everybody in here is to fear a little less on your journey. So the question is, what is your one fearless decision?
