Hey hero, if you're enjoying these daily plus ones, make sure you head to heroic us to check out all of the other goodness we have to help you activate your best every day. And now today's plus one.

Hi, this is Brian. Welcome back to another heroic plus one. In our last plus one we talked about fear and laziness. And I promised we'd talk about the seven fears that Darren Donnelly tells us we must conquer in his great sports fable, Victory Fe favors the fearless. Let's get straight to work. Darren tells us, and I quote, there are seven common fears you must learn to defeat if you want to live a happy and successful life. Number one, the fear of what other people think. Number two, the fear of change. Number three, the fear of making the wrong decision. Number four, the fear of missing out on something better. Number five, the fear of not being good enough. Number six, the fear of failure being permanent. And number seven, the fear of being due for a setback. He says in some form or another, every major worry and self destructive thought is rooted in one of these seven fears. Fear again. It's what's holding you and me and all of us back from living the life you and I and all of us were born to live. In previous books, Darren recommends we check out Stan Beacham's brilliant book, Elite Minds. You know what Dr. Beauchamp tells us, as we've discussed, he tells us fear is your real opponent. It's all about fear. If you kill fear, you win. If you kill fear, you have your best year ever. If you kill fear, you train like a madman. If you kill fear, you go to college for free. If you kill fear, you stand on the podium, you get paid and you have strangers walk up to you and call you by name. When fear dies, you begin to live. Andy says fear is keeping you from reaching your potential. Conquering fear should be your primary goal in life. Now each of the seven fears gets its own chapter. Brilliantly interwoven with seven rounds of our heroes championship fight. At the end of the book we get an affirmation to help us conquer each of the seven fears. Here they are. To deal with the fear of what other people think we affirm. I am listening to my heart and living my God given purpose. I have the power to succeed. To deal with the fear of change we affirm. I seek victory by changing and growing. To deal with the fear of making the wrong decision, we affirm there is no such thing as certainty. I move forward by attacking, adapting and learning as I go. To deal with the fear of missing out on something better, we affirm I am all in. I am moving forward with grit and perseverance. Success does not require shortcuts. Success requires total commitment. To deal with the fear of not being good enough, we affirm I have the power to determine what I deserve I the bigger I dream and the harder I work, the higher I climb to deal with the fear of failure being permanent, we affirm Because I failed, I am stronger and wiser than ever before. Get up and keep fighting. To deal with the fear of being due for a setback, we affirm I am blessed. I am strong. I am protected by God. Great things are coming my way. My head just exploded with goodness there. How about you? That's today's plus one. The seven fears. Let's conquer them today.
