Installment 2: The N.O. F.E.A.R. Life O is for Open Your Mind to the

Installment Two: Living the N.O. F.E.A.R. Life blog series. I will post a new installment each month through August when the 2017 NO FEAR Ladies Conference will take place.

N.O. F.E.A.R. is an acronym for a life concept that I created back in August 2014, just before my first NO FEAR Ladies Conference and one I try my best to live by.

The O in N.O. F.E.A.R. stands for "Open your mind to the possibility of your greatness."

The bible says "as a man thinketh, so he is."

You do not have to be religious to understand the truth in this statement. One can only go as far as their thoughts and imagination will take them.

The first step towards achieving anything great is to first see yourself doing it.

When I was in 7th grade, my track coach told me to imagine myself going over the hurdles with proper form and 3-stepping in between each night. I began to do that every night before I went to sleep...and guess what happened, I became one of the top hurdlers in the school district.

Far too many women and girls never see themselves in a position of greatness. They benchmark their potential based on what everyone else around them is doing, never considering the fact that with a bit of hard work, determination and, yes, positive imagination, they can do something that no one else has ever done or better than anyone else has ever done it.

The next time you open your favorite magazine and watch a segment of entertainment news and see all the great things another is doing, remember...that could be you.

The only thing that stands between you and greatness is your belief in your greatness (and intentional action! So, no matter who you are, where you come from and what you have been told, I implore you now to open your mind to the possibility of your greatness!
