Overcoming Fear: How to Take Massive Action and Step into Your Destiny

Fear has held you back long enough. In this final part of our Fear Series, we’re diving into the most important step—Taking Massive Action.

Over the past two episodes, we’ve broken down:

1. Know Your Fear – Recognizing it and bringing it into the light.

2. Understand What Your Fear is Costing You – Realizing its known and unknown price.

3. Despise Your Fear – Developing a deep hatred for how fear has robbed you.

But none of this matters if you don’t take action. Knowledge is potential—action is power.

The Muhammad Ali Story – How Action Changes Everything

Muhammad Ali, one of the greatest boxers of all time, didn’t start fighting because he wanted to be a champion. As a kid, someone stole his bike, and he wanted to beat the kid up. The problem? He didn’t know how to fight.

Instead of just accepting his fear and frustration, Ali took action—he walked into a boxing gym, trained, and transformed into a legend.

The lesson? Massive action overcomes fear. If you wait for the perfect moment to move, you’ll stay stuck forever.

Fear Will Keep You Out of Your Promised Land

This isn’t just about personal growth. Fear can rob you of your destiny.

Take the story of Joshua & Caleb in the Bible. When Moses sent 12 spies into the Promised Land, 10 of them came back saying:

"Yeah, it’s great, but there are giants everywhere. We’ll die if we try."

Two of them—Joshua and Caleb—saw the same land but had a different report:

"Yeah, there are giants, but God is with us. Let’s take it!"

Fear kept an entire generation from stepping into what was meant for them. Only Joshua and Caleb entered the land.

You have a choice. You can listen to the voice of fear and stay stuck, or you can step into the promise God has for you.

The battle cry?
"Rak Chazak" – Do nothing else except be strong and courageous.

Training Eliminates Fear

When Garrett was a Navy SEAL, fear wasn’t an option. Preparation destroyed fear.

If you train for war, fear loses its grip when the moment arrives. SEAL training conditions men to handle life-or-death situations with calmness and control.

What’s the takeaway?
If you struggle with fear, it’s because you haven’t trained yourself to overcome it.

You don’t rise to the occasion—you fall to the level of your training.

Practical Ways to Train Yourself to Overcome Fear:

• Exposure therapy – Do things that scare you in small doses.

• Physical discipline – Strengthen your mind through physical training (cold plunges, fasting, etc.).

• Daily challenges – Step into discomfort on purpose (speak up in meetings, start conversations, do hard things).

The more you face discomfort, the less fear controls you.

Overcoming Fear in Specific Areas of Life

Fear shows up in different ways, but it always follows the same pattern—it makes you small, steals your power, and limits your future. Here’s how to take massive action in three key areas.

1. Fear of Pain – Break the Cycle

Many people numb pain through alcohol, weed, entertainment, or avoidance. But here’s the truth:

Numbing pain doesn’t remove it. It only delays and multiplies it.

Massive Action:

🔥 Throw it away. Right now. Alcohol? Pour it out. Weed? Trash it. The only way to win is to remove the escape route.

🔥 Sit with discomfort. When you feel the urge to run, stay still. Ask yourself: What am I actually feeling? Where does this come from?

🔥 Change your relationship with pain. Instead of avoiding it, embrace it as a teacher.

Think about the ice bath: No matter how much you try to trick yourself, it’s still cold. The breakthrough comes when you accept it, sit in it, and own it.

2. Fear of Finances – Take Control

Most people fear money because they don’t control it. They avoid looking at their bank account, don’t budget, and let anxiety rule their financial decisions.

Massive Action:

🔥 Make a budget today. Stop hiding from the numbers—face them.

🔥 Change the story you tell yourself about money. Instead of, “I never have enough,” start saying, “I am wise with my money, and opportunities are everywhere.”

🔥 Grow your skill set. If you fear losing your job, get better. Learn new skills. Practice interviewing. Be so valuable that no one can ignore you.

3. Fear of Failure – Try Something and Learn

Failure isn’t final—it’s feedback. But if fear of failure controls you, you’ll never take risks, never grow, and never realize your potential.

Massive Action:

🔥 Try something you’ve been avoiding. Whether it’s asking for a raise, starting a business, or initiating a tough conversation—just do it.

🔥 Reframe failure. Stop seeing it as an ending. Instead, ask: “What did I learn? How can I use this?”

🔥 Expose yourself to rejection. Want an easy way to kill fear? Go to Starbucks and negotiate a discount. It’ll feel awkward, but that’s the point—you’re training yourself to stop fearing rejection.

You Have to Want Freedom More Than You Fear Change

Fear is comfortable. It’s lazy. It keeps you stuck.

But here’s the question: Do you want to live stuck, or do you want to be free?

Massive action is the only way to break free.

The Final Challenge – Step Up Today

Every great story has a defining moment where the hero has to decide:

🚪 Stay in comfort, live in fear, and die in the desert.
🔥 Step into the unknown, face the giants, and claim the life you were meant for.

The Israelites stood at the Jordan River. Joshua and Caleb shouted, “Rak Chazak!” and stepped forward.

What will you do?

Take Massive Action Today:

✅ Make the move. Whatever’s been sitting on your heart—do it.
✅ Face the fear. Take one step into discomfort.
✅ Declare your courage. Say it out loud: “Rak Chazak! I will not live in fear.”

Your destiny is waiting. But you have to take the first step.
