''If you want to conquer fear, do not sit home and think about it. Get up and do it''- Del Carnegie,
thanks Brian :)
"Always go with the choice that scares you the most, because that's the one that is going to help you grow" -Caroline Myss.
Thank you so much! I know I will be coming to this video frequently :)
I have a COLOSSAL fear of the dark, of being alone. I hate it so much. And this video actually helped me an LOT. I got to breathe and realize that if I control this fear, I'd be able to sleep better and grow as a person. Thank you so much for this. You made my whole week!
This excellent advice should be compulsory in all schools
+James Harrison Thank you! We created a program for a leading prep school in LA and excited about educational opportunities in the future!!

should be yes, but this system survives off fear. i think the parents should take more responsiblity in teaching their children instead of leaving everything to schools that work for a much different agenda.
I have been practising positive affirmations, hypnosis, visualisations etc to try and remove fear for years. This, and knowing that confidence is more experience related than mentally related, is the only technique that has helped me achieve the things I want. Thank you :)
Thanks Brian. You are helping people across the planet. You are a great man.
Simple, yet brilliant. I've been more or less scared of heights all my life. I took these steps and jumped my first tandem skydive and ENJOYED it. Now I'm seriously considering making it a hobby. Thanks!
I'm that one person you helped today, thankfully. yours John from the UK keep it up dude
Love the personal story about the business plan and am often reminded that fear is excitement without the breath.
***** Yes!!
Wow! seeing you explain this brings me such clarity. I've never seen it explained this way before. I've been frozen by fear not knowing what to expect, while embarking on a new journey. You now have given me the courage to take action, & allow myself to receive all the Prosperity , and new opportunities that are waiting for me. Thank you, Thank you, Thank you. I am eternally grateful. I love you for helping me to stop standing in my own way.
+Deya Wiley Amazing and thanks for your note, Deya!!!

I got something out of this. I'm looking to walk through a lifelong fear of public dancing. Failed miserably a few nights ago, but am climbing off the canvas to give it another look. Best I like what you said about not approaching it to get rid of fear, but to walk through it. I've heard the quote by Cus D'Amato where he told Mike Tyson that all fighters felt the same fear, but champions learned to walk through it. Very inspirational. By the way, I'm 61 years old.
Amazing, Ronald. Thanks for sharing and rock it!!

STOP CRYING !!---10:09 YOU found me! I am the 1 person that you helped! Thanks for the visual on paper and explaination-it helped a lot!
You helped me move past my fear today and everyday from here on out. Thank you.
as the saying goes, courage is the not the absence of fear but the will to proceed despite being afraid.

Brian, your body of work has inspired me for many years. I always look forward to your videos, it's good to have you back in full force again. Have you heard of the butterfly effect? Well,, I think your message spreads through your followers in the best possible direction all over the world. Thank you for all that you do!
I love you, Brian. Thank you for spreading the Light!
Jubi D-C Big smile and thanks! :)
Very very very well done. I loved this. I had traumatic events happen to me which in turn left me in the hospital for five months and had to re-learn how to do everything. I deal with flash backs and pain on a daily basis but this video has helped me with taking a different approach to fears. Breath! You have to breath. Think about what you want not what you don't want. Thank you man keep up the videos!
Thanks, Brian. Gotta say -- was not expecting such clear-cut, no-nonsense wisdom with a lap-based, non-white balanced video (unless you actually have blue notebooks!). A great photo editor told me, I don't care what way you show me your photos -- just make sure your photos show me something! And you know the best jazz players have the most messed-up horns (Charlie Parker's was in hoc when he needed drug money). So keep dropping wisdom, in any way, shape or form you can. And get that life101 website up -- it's gonna be great, and so helpful to so many people!! Thanks again. Really.
excellent brian....should be taught in every school all over the world

Brian... This changed my day!! This is a great way to see this and I plan on using your explanation to help my wife, son and friends. Thank you! I'm a subscriber now :-)
Well I can tell you this is something I have been figuring out for myself, and have many t-shirts ideas too, to help others, so they don't have to take SO LONG to figure out what is so (and not so) OBVIOUS.
So thank you for explaining it so clearly (btw am at 10mins of the video, I'll finish it once I have posted this comment :P), but I do believe it is up to everyone to get to a point of understanding for themselves, and what they do to cement what they've learned will determine whether they stay in their comfort zone like the 99% of other people or be part the 1% that seem to do what they love like they have no fear and EXCEL at it.
I hope that made sense XD
One of the better models i have come across. Brian Johnson, this is a work of art.
Davidka1978Xoroshiy Thank you!!
Brian... Thank You. With a tear in my eye now, I am your one person you got through to today. I personally have fear running all through me... so the fact that I am even writing this post is a measure of your inspiration!!
Brian, I couldn't agree more with your thesis. It applies to so many things and I've always overcome fear by rationalising the the result of fear. Think "what's the worst that could happen?". If it's doesn't get you arrested or physically hurt you, you can handle it.
I've used this in anything from entering rooms where I don't know anyone to making board presentations. And I can tell you addressing my fears has had a whole lot of positive upsides.
Lots of substance yet so simple. Extremely helpful and eye-opening.
+Bibek Galami Thx!!

Very good stuff thank you.
I have the opposite problem in that I don't actually feel fear that much in many things. This is a BIG problem for my family who have watched me take the most ridiculous risks, sometimes ending up with me in serious trouble in hospital (and a few of those where my life was saved by medics!). My son has hidden my axe because he doesn't trust me with it since I nearly cut off my finger chopping wood, my daughter has had nightmares because of the stupidly dangerous things I've done (like solo a 1000 foot cliff, or swim down a raging river etc) and my wife has gone for weeks without talking to me because she really ends up picking up the pieces when I fail - which has been often.
I have to remind myself each time I want to do something not to do it because its so selfish and dangerous. Its not big or clever to have less fear. Fear is the sign that gets held up to you by your subconsciousness to say "have you really thought this through?" before doing something and it should be respected and balanced.
I don't want my wife and kids to grow up without me or looking after me following an awful accident.
I do love this video though and I think fear (for most people) does hold them back from even mundane things and it must be breached as described to achieve goals.
Final thought from one who has gone way too far sometimes. Going to extremes and crashing out in some self created dreadful situation leaves you mentally less capable. It damages your mind and gives you phobias. I can no longer go surfing in big seas because of being swept away one evening by rip currents in the dark with no one around or knowing where I was. I regret doing that because now the sea scares the crap out of me and I can only surf small breaks. So its not true that"What doesn't kill us makes us stronger" I'd say its more like "What doesn't Break us makes us stronger"
Please don't judge me, because I genuinely try not to do dangerous things (for the sake of my family and friends). Its a conscious effort to draw back each time.
Brian, thank you ! You broke this down so clearly & definitely changed my day & my life!
Wow.
"Fear is excitement without the breath"
this hits me pretty hard. Thanks!

Your really good at this. Keep doing it because it's your vulnerability that makes it so great.
I don't know how I ended up here, some guy talking while recording a scribbled page... but I stuck with it and oh my god Brian you have hit the nail on the spot!
Thank you so very much for this, deeply appreciated!
Thank You Brian!! You definitely helped and encouraged at least one person today to move beyond fear. :)
This changed more than just my day, thank you so much
THANK YOU BRIAN FOR SHARING THIS...BRILLIANT PERSPECTIVE AND GREAT TOOLS I AM ALREADY PUTTING INTO ACTION!
Yeah. You are right we can be fearless. It's different ways to look at it. Fear is mostly doubts. & this video helps people get over their doubts & keep it pushing. I love your videos man. I discovered you a few days ago. I'm rolling with you
you really spelled it out in such basic terms for all who will receive it...got alot out of it..tks so mcuh
My pleasure and thanks for your thanks! :)
I'm going through a very rough patch and you're really helping me find my way! these ideas are great, thank you :)
danny luis valdivia I've been thru those very rough patches and I'm honored to be able to help you thru yours, Danny. Sending love and wisdom!
Thank you for your video Brian!
Thank you. I really needed this.
Thank you so much. This video will help me throughout my entire life! It already has helped me out a bunch, and it is all thanks to you. You are the BEST!!!
Thanks Brian. Great video. Always feared and felt negative before starting anything in life. Will try this in future.
Love it Brian, keep doing what you're doing and keep being an awesome individual.
I've been on the self help circuit since I was teenager, reading countless blogs and watching videos. And I got jaded. But watching this inspired me. Even if someone doesn't buy into the subject matter, just listening to you speak passionately is really moving. Great video man.
Also editing your notes while you instruct is just damnnnn compelling. Gives me that Draw My Life vibe, and it really held my attention throughout.
+Corey Holmes Amazing and thanks, Corey!!! Really appreciate your kind words!!

Life changing concept. I was in a crippling state of anxiety earlier today...wish I had watched this first thing this morning. Thanks Brian for sharing this valuable lesson.
Thanks a lot, this message is very simple but powerful. Great job
I actually already feel better after watching this. Just accept all that fear, add a little something and turn it into excitement? That's an excellent technique.
Wow! Great video! I like this!! Thanks for taking the time and helping everyone!
***** Thank you and my absolute pleasure! :)
you just made my day better... so yes! your video worth it
BIG THANKS !
Great video! THanks. For me I have written this statement about Fear on an index card and placed it on my bathroom mirror so I can read it everyday. "Courage is not the absence of Fear, but more the judgement that something else is more important." This statement helps me to get passed fears that I feel at times and helps me to continue on.
+Sherrie Vitello Great quote Sherrie
LOVE YOU BRIAN!!!
Ok now you are a good teacher. I can't even see you but your voice is hugely energized. If there's proof that voice can convey huge amounts then here it is. And a great video too.
Thank you Brian, this video really helped me today! Many Blessings!

You just made a HUGE break through with me! Thank you!!
My best friend of all time and my girlfriend are taking a long healthy break with no contact other than emergencies. Our relationship was stressing us out far past the point of healthiness so she decided to take a healthy break for a few months.
We've barely ever gone a few days without talking in the last three years so I have been panicking for the last week since we went our temporary separate ways. I've been terrified she will never come back even to be my friend.
I couldn't control my emotions which is the main reason why she needed a break and she told me I did too. I didn't want to but she was right. We're using this time to grow as individuals and mature so we can be close friends again. She even laughed right before the break when I asked her if she would ever come back to me to be my friend again, she told me I was being irrational and that I need to trust her because she cares about me so much.
I was weak and pretty pathetic but I'm using videos like this to get strong both for me and my life, and for her.
I'll be excited to see her again and make our friendship healthy and close again. Eventually date again
Any Advice?
I trust and respect her and believe she made the strongest and best choice with this break.
You sir have earned yourself another subscriber and pupil. I can tell you are a wise old soul.
Poppomatic64 you alright yet?
Thank you Brian. Love this stuff. Simplified!
Oh, Brian. Yet another fantastic vid. God bless you, sir.
Awesome way of disecting fear and presenting a practical way of facing it-Thanks!!
I've been battling fear to the point where it has literally paralyzed me and your video has helped me to understand that I'm not alone and how to work pass my fear barrier. You're awesome Brian. Thank you.
get excited ... you changed my day !! thanks ... keep it up
Great video! Thanks for sharing!

***** Thank you, Jonathan!!! Appreciate your kind words. Let's do this! :)
THank you so much. Changed my day as well.
Oh, I just realized that it's a 6 years old video, but the content are real as every time. I had been thinking about it recently. So this bravery thing is always tricky, worth to work on. Here's my method I follow. When your inner voice start telling you that it's not the right time to do it's definately the time to do it. This is the sign, you can stretch your comfort zone bigger. First thing to do, notice your fear. Second one: beat it. How? If you watched any war movie you could had seen that sergeant asks private if he was affraid to do it or not? With more vulgar words but it not the point now. This time YOU are sergeant and private in one person. Ask yourself: you fear? Answer that: No! Ask it again (louder): you fear? Say it again: NO! You FEAR?! NOOO! It creates courage in your heart and an instant desire to make the first step. So just ask another question: Then what the hell are you waiting for? Plus, always ask yourself that if you did that thing would you remember that in a year? Most of the time no, these are cakes, no big deal. And in this case no need any fuss, just do it ;) It would be interesting to understand why is being ashamed so intolerable feeling probably this would be a major step to conquer your fear easier. Have a nice day Brian.
Super cool Brian! The visual aid and steps created a super clear picture. THANK YOU for making these life changing concepts relateable and practical!
This is really good man. Thanks for the energy and the sharing it's really clear and eye opening. Every video I watch of yours on this channel is inspiring and gives me a sense of clarity, sense, empowerment, and then some tools to go along with it to rattle around and see what fits. Thanks a lot
***** Right on!! Thrilled to hear and I appreciate your kind words, Kevin. Let's do this!! :)
Brian! I LOVE your video's! And I love you! :) I am learning sooooo much. I am taking notes and soaking it up! OPENING MY MIND and mastering my consciousness! Practice makes perfect! I read your book, A Philosopher's Notes 101... LOOOOVEED it! I was blown away when I read the purpose section. Having thought that my purpose was my calling or my "dream job" when in fact I am my purpose ... to be me. And to live my truth. It really just made complete sense!
Thank you! Thank you!
I enjoyed that - Thanks Brian.
Awesome video!! Thank you very much... And what a great idea to communicate your ideas with your notes... Very inspiring!!
I appreciate your teaching method a lot. I learn very quickly. It's simple and effective.Many thanks.
Amazing video with some of the best advice I've ever seen, so simple yet very effective. Looking forward to applying and practicing this! Cheers!
