Here are some very specific actions to show you how to be fearless.

1. Stay open to all possibilities. Let go of outcomes. You may think you want to go right, but life takes you left. So go with what life presents. Left might be more fun anyway.

2. Embrace change. Even change that appears negative. Change is constant and is part of the evolution of life and the human experience. Don't fight it. It will happen anyway, so follow it where it leads you.

3. Make plans, but make them loosely. Set goals for yourself and work toward them. But remember, you are staying open to possibilities and embracing change. Work toward your goal, but watch for signs to recalibrate.

4. Write a mission statement. When you apply your values and vision to every decision of your life, you have a road map that keeps you from veering off in directions that don't support who you really are or want to be. Here's an article on writing a mission statement.

5. Find mentors. Look for people whose lives or work you want to emulate. Watch what they do and how they do it. Ask for their help and guidance. 

6. Challenge yourself. Find those areas in your life where you feel fear. What is it for you? Look those fears in the eye, and accept a little discomfort so you can reap the great rewards of stepping out of your comfort zone.

7. Think big. Why not? Why not make the biggest plans, the boldest actions, the most challenging decisions? You don't know unless you try. You can stay small and safe. Blah, blah, blah. Or you can live an extraordinary life. 

8. Create partnerships. People who share a similar vision and world view. Find people in your cluster and make great partnerships. Find someone you trust to work with you on your bold adventures. Broaden your circle of partners so you have a tribe of people working together for mutual benefit. This is broader than networking. It's working together to create a net of influence, inspiration and action.

9. Seek support. If there is something you really want, but fear is holding you back, don't go it alone. There are some fears that need deeper unraveling. I can't imagine not being to fly in an airplane or socialize with people, but these are very real fears for some people. Whatever it is, don't give up. Find a counselor or coach to help you. You are in control, not your fears.

10. Action, action, action. That is the greatest cure for fear. Decide what you want to achieve, then start doing the work. Focus on the task at hand. Then the next task, then the next. Action is more powerful than great books, great blogs, great motivational speakers, or great plans. Even when you are in a slump or feel afraid, just do something.
