Depression will kick in quickly in your life if you don't learn how to deal with anxiety, panic, and fear. Years ago a mentor gave me one powerful tip to overcoming all three of these. Here is what he told me...

"Fear is not real. It is a product of thoughts you create. Do not misunderstand me. Danger is very real. But fear is a choice.”
Let me be brave
Let me be brave
fear is also wisdom in the face of danger
congrats shoot me your blog/email/snapchat
+Tai Lopez I fully support your programs I wish you huge success. Good Luck.
Every situation in life is inherently neutral. It has no built in meaning. Using the filter of the mind we tag meanings to the situations and thus get that effect out of it. The key is to tag positive meanings to fearful situations even if that means knowing you will learn from it and that is the positive meaning. Great video bro.
When there is no enemy within, the enemies outside can't hurt you
-African proverb
Pain is my fuel to keep on going forward
I'm currently dealing with my second fight against cancer, being a single mom and getting closer to my 30s. There's NOTHING I fear more than allowing my troubles to over take me, over take my willpower to succeed, to set up a good foundation for my son & to regain my health. Your couldn't be more right, just yesterday I could have drowned in my fear, drowned in my sorrows. But I woke up today renewed, ready to take on the fight. Life's lessons are exactly that, every lesson, ever hurt, is a driving force. Meant to make you stronger, wiser, thick skinned even. For all those reading keep pushing forward, always striving to be better than who you were just yesterday.
Tai Thank you for your videos, for your advice, always much appreciated.
I'm 16 and I've been dealing with anxiety years now. It's like a living hell and it has lead to depression. It really sucks because it prevents me from doing certain things, things that can help me become successful. Listening to the wise words you have to say really helps me out. You may not consider yourself a mentor but you definitely are to me. Thank you Tai. I WILL be successful.
I am as while, but I don't like it. so what helps me is finding something that makes me happy, and and getting out of my comfort zone. comfort zone is death! :) stay strong
+Naomi Lopez i recommend you look up arash dibazar on youtube. he will help you become more powerful and move towards freedom.
Anxiety and fear will not stop me from reaching my goals. I will push pass the pain
I was always a procrastinator until I started watching your TH-cam videos a year ago. I saw how someone like yourself, who was sleeping on a couch with $45 ended up becoming a very successful person. I told myself that If I just keep sitting here waiting for something to happen, nothing is ever going to happen. I was 19 a year ago and I am 20 today. I am still lazy at times but, I have definitely come out of my shell and broadened my horizons. You taught me to not be scared of knowledge and for that I am grateful. :)
Honestly this is the first time I've ever commented on a video, but my greatest fear is failier, or making the same mistakes my parents did. I also lost my dad when I was young it hit me hard and it pushes me day after day to reach a higher level and try things that would make him proud. I recently started my own business and took the plunge and part of that is thanks to your videos on TH-cam, your one of the first self helps I followed. Thanks for taking time out of your life to help everyone here and anyone that wants to achieve something greater. Stay awesome Tia
Tai, theres a great quote "Only the unknown frightens men. But once a man has faced the unknown, that terror becomes the known." by Anthony Saint Exupery.
Hey Tai, My name is Kenneth and I am 18 years old. I lived in the foster care system most of my life but when I was not in group homes, I was in mental institutions trying to deal with issues (PTSD, Depression, and Sucidial Tendencies) caused by my fear of my father. My dad was abusive and although I understand his actions do not affect my actions, it did affect my thoughts and pardigms. It took me 3 years to finally get out of the "system" and take my life into my own hands. I got emacipated and apply to a job. I have spent the last two years overcoming fears, anger, and depression. Around this time was when I found your youtube channel and started "investing in myself" by going to confrences, reading massive amounts of literature, & using meditation and prayer in my daily life. Now I am attempting to gain seed money from some local VC's for a startup, I am a freshman in college, & have amazing relationships with my family. I have came along way but I have a longer way to go. As Margaret Fuller said "I am suffocated and lost when I have not the bright feeling of progression." Thank you for being a inspiration and a source of knowledge to help me down my journey to overcome my fears.
Tai, you probably won't read this but hopefully someone will and be inspired by it. I am severely disabled and have a caretaker help me 7 days a week. My fear is being a failure and living a pointless life. But you have lit a fire under me and I am now in the process of starting two businesses. It's scary but I am so excited about life everyday because I have another chance to conquer my challenges. I'm not sure if you believe in God, but I thank Him for helping me find your videos.
+Sachi Good for you! I'm inspired! :-)
Phoebe Thomasson Art
Thanks! :)
I believe in God Sachi and am equally grateful you found the videos, Godspeed and favor in your businesses.
Oluchi Harry
Thank you, I appreciate that!
Your welcome.
The human mind is one of the most powerful tools you can use and you need to take advantage of it. Overcoming the most difficult obstacles really just make you stronger. A quote that helps me move forward is "Don't pray for an easy life, pray for the strength to endure a difficult one." Strength to keep going is what everyone should seek.
I have the stupidest fear ,the fear of failing ... and its paralyzing me from getting started , but there is something I should be even more afraid of and that's never failing because that means I never got started.
Isaac Bondoc thank you for the recommendation will do.
Be happy when you are fearful, it shows you what you must conquer in order to grow.
"Fear keeps us focused on the past or worried about the future. If we can acknowledge our fear, we can realize that right now we are okay. Right now, today, we are still alive, and our bodies are working marvelously. Our eyes can still see the beautiful sky. Our ears can still hear the voices of our loved ones" -Thich Nhat Hanh
☺
My biggest problem was wondering what people think of me. I was afraid to be myself because I didn't want anybody to not like me. After watching Tai I've realized that if you're always bothered of others opinions then you will get nowhere in life, high chance of spiraling into depression also. The biggest thing I've learned is to ALWAYS stay positive. ALWAYS.
"Early to bed, early to rise, work like hell, and advertise."

(My favorite quote considering I'm a marketing major) :)
anxiety, panic and fear.
15 and started online marketing. Keep teaching and learning man
I have constant anxiety that I won't essentially become rich. Neither of my parents went to college and my sister genuinely doesn't try in school. I live with my mom and she just started going to school again at 50 years of age. She has had to work hard her whole life and what's really important to me is that one day I can tell her she can quit her school or her future job because I can support her from now on. That's why I love your videos so much lol. They basically inspire me to not be a slacker like my sister and parents and to really try to give them a life if luxury. So I guess you can say my biggest fear is becoming my parents, that isn't to say they aren't good people. They just don't make good money. If you read this then thank you for listening. Writing these long TH-cam comments just helps with my anxiety lol.
This video seriously just changed the whole direction of my life, thank you so much! It's crazy how blind and distracted you can get and how your anxiety confuses you if you don't look at it this way.
My biggest fear is living a life, that's not to my fullest potential. I used to use the death of my father to fuel me as a kid through school, now that I'm a young adult I lost that motivation I gained from His death to success for my family's sake. I went through a horrible breakup last year and It broke me. I stayed hiding from the world for months, and I lost my strength my wit and my self respect. The last month of 2015 I got up and started to work on myself again stared to work on my body and my mind. I want it all, I know it doesn't come all at once but it comes in "time". So I'm working every single day to restore me and become the best a man can be.
Tai Lopez,
Yesterday I stumbled upon one of your videos that talked about the 67 steps, I will figure out how to absorb as much of your knowledge as I can, you are a wise man. You have put fuel on my internal fire, the one I was afraid had burned out. My greatest fear is that I haven't/won't teach my kids enough knowledge to over come the obstacles life will throw at them.
thank you for all of you inspiring wisdom
Paralysis of analysis. You hit the head right in the nail. It's funny. Some of the strongest battles we as people have our with ourselves. I don't know you tai but you seem to have come at the right time in my life. Helping find a way to save myself from well.....myself. Thank you truly for sharing your knowledge and experience with all of us. So that we don't continue to waste life's best commodity. "Time".
Tai is an absolute legend, I have been a part of his program for about 5 or 6 months and within the first 24 hrs, being a part of his programme and watching his videos just changed my life, who ever is reading this and is thinking about watching the video, do it then watch it again and then watch it again because this guy has THE worth a damn factor !!!!!!
My biggest fear is hitting 70 years old and realising I have wasted my time, and that it is now too late for action. I think it would be mental torture in a sense. I probably wouldn't mind if I didn't know that I had wasted it. But looking back on every year up to date in my life so far I think: 'fuckk, why didn't I do this years ago?', 'why didn't I focus on the important things instead of that bullshit which added no value to my life whatsoever?', 'why did I waste my time?'
I am 19 years old now and I already feel like I have wasted too much time. However the difference is, I still have time.
What if I didn't what if I was 70? - that is my biggest fear.
Wow! I wish I thought the way you think when I was 19. I am one year away from 50 and I will make it...so will you!
you're only 19. I'm in my early 30s and wished I would've worked harder and smarter during my younger years. You have enough time to be flexible and start making smarter decisions...you'll make mistakes on the way...we all do. Be open minded and learn from it.
its never to late as long as your physically alive, time is going to pass anyway no matter if you like it or not you got to go hard with what ever its you want to accomplish every single day life doesn't why should you
Tai I am a new watcher and you help me find my peace and help me realize there is hope in every bad situation. You help me overcome my fears and use them as energy to get through these bad situations and feel confident that everything will be ok in the end. Thank you
My father passed away when I was 12 and even though I was pretty little at the time it really hit me that he was never gonna see me graduate or go to college or anything like that, to ever see me do anything I know he would've been proud of. I'm now a sophomore in high school and just as it was when I was 12 years old my greatest fear is not being able to do something that I know would've made my dad proud of me.
+Coy Kwan You will make him proud don't worry.
My friend's father died I think in a car accident when he was 16
keep believing in yourself and know that your dad has got your back and would never be hard on you like your being to yourself. Peaceout
my father died of cancer when I was 12 dont let it mold your life like I did..you are young make changes now
Great session Tai. Quickly: I am 54 and 21 years ago was a lawyer. (Still licensed) but I made a career change out of fear.....for the better! My new path was followed by passion & fortunately skill to become a PGA professional. Zero regrets! It took hard work, sacrifices & dedication. It did not happen overnight. I have been happy for several years. The only "fear" I have now is missing a birdie putt from 3 feet😎. Thanks again for your knowledge.....truly inspirational. Keep after it!
All I can recommend to you guys, I'm sure you already know this but live each moment the best u can. Don't let life pass u by while you hide in the corner battling depression or anxiety or fear. Trust me i have anxiety and it's hard as hell to do simple tasks sometimes because i feel so on edge and fearful at times but u need to remind yourself frequently that today could be IT. Don't die doing something you hate (in pain, in fear,)
I'm 14 a freshman in high school and you have made me think that what I do today can change my life not just that week but for the rest of my life.
this is the phrase that has changue my life and it is : if you dont dominate your mind , she wil dominate YOU .
thanks for the videos and keep the good work ¡¡¡
from chile :D
I started your program last year when I was in a big transition period in my life and the old self used to be always bogged down by the limits I had set for myself based on what others around me thought I was capable of achieving. The new self now listens to a new voice of continuing support and life giving encouragement for those around me to always push my limits and increase my success. Thank you for giving me the kickstart of courage I needed to make the changes that were keeping me stuck in my hunter-gatherer mindset of short-sighted innovation. I now attend optometry school with a wonderful support system and true happiness now.
biggest fear is myself.
True..
Vary True my man
+B VLOGS insecurities, saying things that hurt others. Doing things to myself that hurts me. Keep bashing on myself
so become it.
Me too, I'm my own worst enemy...self sabotage at its best : (
I once read a quote that stated, "Fear has two meanings: Fear Everything And Run or Face Everything And Rise" and I took that quote to heart and have used it throughout my life in many situations but the deeper more complex meaning I believe it is trying to deliver is that you can bend, you know be fearful but use the fear to eventually shoot you back. Bend to your benefit, the closer you get to breaking the farther you will be able to bounce back and move forward. The only way to know true happiness is to have experienced the exact opposite, otherwise how do you know you are truly happy. The other part, "Fear Everything And Run" you described perfectly. The flight or fight mindset we are born with. The one thing everyone needs to realize is that losing a battle is better than running from it, you learn, and learning is knowledge. The moment you stop living is the moment you stop learning. Tai you are a truly amazing person for everything you do to inspire me and everyone else. Thank u
hmm... When you mentioned about being up at 2 am because of fear, I looked at my clock and sure enough, it was 2 am.
In my heart, I know my biggest fears is to be myself. I want to become an entrepreneur, I want to complete my bucket list before I dont have the energy to do them, and live the life that I can fully control my mind to do what I wanted to be. What fears me from being myself? Red flags. But with the help of many mentors who I respect but more than likely never get to know them in person, I'm in progress of chasing down my fears. Thank you Tai. You have changed my life.
My biggest fear is having no more fears to face
It's amazing how your videos always speak to exactly how I feel at that moment. woke up today with anxiety about being an actress out here in Hollywood & fear I wouldn't"t reach my budget goals and would have to go back to corporate America. Thank you for providing millennial inspiration that motivates me & keeps me going strong! Deservedness on fleek!
My biggest fear right now is figuring out what I would say to an investor and the rejections that I would face on my path to becoming a billionaire.
I'm 17 soon and pretty anxious about my life moving into university and beyond. After following the 67 steps and accelerator I feel like I have a good framework but I can't help but be a little fearful. Keep up the good work Tai
"Anxiety, panic, and fear." 😎
Big fan of urs tai
what up uncle Ma
rtinez
Hey tai! I'm a 16 year old, a year ago I was doing poorly in school and running with the wrong crowd wondering why I was not happy. I felt sorry for myself. I found your narcissistic entitlement video then I started watching more. I stopped running with the bad kids and now I have straight a's, I read a book a week, and am on my way to making a full time income online! Thanks for all the motivation and wisdom Tai. I will be successful because of you. Thanks
My biggest fear is regrets in the death bed
Probably not for the things I did wrong but more likely the things I didn't do at all.
There will be no regrets at the death bed. A new journey will be about to get started. At that point what we did or didn't do won't matter anymore, to ourselves anyway...
My biggest fear was not trying anything that could change my life, til I saw Tai's ad for the first time on youtube. I click the link to Tai's site & everything he said in the 2 hour garage video made sense to me. I brought the 67 steps last year because I needed a new way to think from everybody else. This 67 steps program has taught me much about life & how to raise above the crowd.
My biggest fear is being unable to communicate to the world how bad ass i know i am
+azam987654321 a real bad ass know. he don't have to prove it. peace
Maxime Veilleux .
+azam987654321 if you can't communicate properly, than you are not that badass in the end.
SNYCE Thats why it is a "fear". Not everybody is born with a silver spoon. Some people have to work daily to communicate their value to the world such as figuring out what the next move for their business is or how to improve their business models.
I'm not referring to the ability to speak to other people. You have misinterpreted the post completely.
Also, part of communicating effectively involves being able to spell correctly.
azam987654321 it´s your fault, when people misinterpret your stuff.It's 100% up to you to communicate your Ideas properly, so people get it and PLEASE refer me to your business, I'd like to take a closer look.
If it is badass, I'll sincerely apologize.
I fear being so confident and persistent in a good life that in the end it won't work out. I won't let that fear beat me though, thanks tai much love man. I thank you and for your time your willing to put into helping others, thanks again,
Angel
My biggest Fear is wasting time or losing time.
It July 2, 2015 and I was sitting in my room alone on a Saturday night. I had begun to lose people who were in my life because I made a decision to follow a new path in life. I came addressed my fear while on a trip to New York City with my father. I'm in college but felt that it was becoming pointless to continue. After a talk we had on that trip I came to two realizations:
First was the fact that I had tried to live a life like everyone else, to be liked not respected, to be average. Second, that I just don't seem to fit in with others, not in a social way but in a mental way. Today I don't get excited by the same things that others do anymore, get dopamine spikes from buying books rather than going out and drinking. I have seen my life revolutionize and now my fear is becoming my fuel. Thanks for everything you're doing Tai.
My biggest fear, missing opportunity
Tai, ever since I stumbled upon your Lamborghini Advertisement I felt like I was meant to see it. I invested half my money in books and indulged them peacefully and I must say... All of these events changed my life. I am a 16 year old entrepreneur and I say it with pride. Thank you.
Fear is the driving force behind all actions. Without fear, each human would remain idle and stagnant. Consequently, with fear comes the same reaction: idleness. Only an understanding of fear can alleviate anxiety and panic, while also driving you forward. Great video, Tai!
Hello Tai. I am a Single mom & I used to let the world slow me down because of the doubt and fear that was instilled within me from others. It has taken a long time for me to reach a point of understanding that I instilled these doubts and anxious feelings. I allowed myself to become my own bully of burden. Most recently, I felt within me a change. A feeling that it is not about planning every little thing. It's about gaining knowledge and taking chances. Also, experimenting with what could work. You allowed me to realize that I should try several different things and study what works in order to continue from there. I want to Thank you and I hope one day we will meet so that I could gain more knowledge from you.
Starting watching your videos about a month ago and I have been totally inspired by your words of wisdom. I notice a lot of individuals aren't on your side but you talk about how you should get used to having enemies and haters- so I see how you continue to go despite what "they" have to say. You're an inspirational guy and I hope you continue to get inspired and help other get over their barrier of fear. -DG
I love the teacher analogy. I ran into reader press. I got access to a whole bunch of newspaper all over the world. I love it. I admire your passion for learning... keep up the good work!!!
Tai, for many years I've had former professors, teachers, family members and colleagues tell me that due to my demeanor, positive personality, work ethic and commitment, I will achieve greatest. One of my professors even told me they see me being a CEO of a company. Unfortunately all of that pressure overwhelmed me and placed me into a state of stasis and mental paralysis. I went years finding distractions such as gaming and excessive eating to run away from the pressure and fear of not unlocking my potential, but in 2015 I started making changes and things are looking great now. I am on my path to fulfilling my destiny. Also Tai you played a large role in my awakening... I will forever be in your debt.
Thank you for taking time to post these videos. This one was right on time. As a Christian and a person that puts my trust in God, I know fear is also a good thing.. God has given me wisdom and I do need to get of my lazy fear ass and get my dreams in motion. You my not realize it but you are like a financial Preacher.. Stay great full!!
Tai, I've completely changed my view towards you, your a great mentor and very wise man. Thank you!
fear stopping most from achieving there full potential by stopping the process of purpose.
i worked in a job for 4 years in retail didn't like it but stuck at it work and work didn't look after my money.
i worked there but always wanted something else but the people around me dropped fear in my mindset.
i decided to leave and find my purpose in business to create an income to help people around the world.
the fear of not succeeding fuelling me to show people put yourself in the right mindset and enviroment will create the results that they desire
Going through your 67 steps I became less and less fearful over most aspects of life because I learned how to use it to my advantage. I would say now my greatest fear is being taken out of this world before I could leave a lasting impact on many people's lives. Im not afraid of death, I just want to help people who are unable to help themselves. Cutting that learning curve is critical for this. I didn't think of that before but I definitely want to retain as much of my time as possible so lets get learning!
Recently, I had been paralyzed by fear, but this quote from Gautama Buddha helped me out of it, _"The whole secret of_ _existence is to have no fear. Never fear what will become of you, depend on no one."_ I was afraid to take action in my business because I was afraid of unfavorable outcomes. His quote made me realize that it's not about the outcomes; it's about the principles and the energy that I put into my work. It's much better for me to do my best and fail than to sit on my hands and do nothing, haha. Thanks for all of the videos!
Tai Lopez is very wise. He has helped me so much....He gives me lots of inspiration to succeed at life! He is always on self improvement and that is why he keeps getting richer, in health, wealth, love and happiness. Truly one of the best wealth teachers of our generation!
To wake up one day when i'm 45 and feel incomplete and a unaccomplished. Not just in relevance to success because thats only half of it, but in relevance to happiness. It doesn't matter if you have all the money in the world, if you're miserable the money is meaningless. I always remind myself that others opinions are truly irrelevant. Do what makes you happy. That said, my biggest fear is the acceptance of outside influences governing my life. Thank you Tai for this video.
Tai, no joke you are one of my top 5 favorite people!! Ignore ANYONE who talks shit about you.. Because honestly if they are talking bad, they obviously don't have knowledge and they dont know what you know.., or they are just jealous. If people actually invested some of their time into you, instead of mocking you they could learn a few things! :)
my biggest fears are:
- I'll never make it.
- Losing time everyday and will become old and achieve nothing.
- I will never find love.
I am 22, aspiring to do post graduation, but I still feel lost and lonely and anxious all the time.
I have been working on loneliness, have started to get along with myself. But the struggle is real every single moment. I am anxious about everything most of the time. But I am trying to be calm, learning to breathe and being mindful. I am doing terrible in studies, but I know if I just get back up again and start over and keep going, I will be there.
Thanks Tai for the video. Using the fuel of my fear, anxiety and loneliness, I will try.
My fear is not being educated enough! And not being able to remember what I learn :). One of the best things that has happened to me this year is your videos Tai! Perfect timing in my life. Thank you.
I fear I won't be able to give my mom and dad the life they deserve before time runs out thank you for opening my eyes Tai Lopez with this passionate video
Right now, my anxiety is not being able to commit myself to pursue my dreams and not being able to become successful financially. I want to have my own successful game company. In order to do that, I have to start and learn how to create apps . I'm pretty confident with my creativity and have experience in programming from school. I GOT all the tools I need in my computer to achieve it. And yet, I keep postponing it and feeling broke in the process. I don't know why, but every time I face the computer to start to do some work, I keep doing something else.
Maybe I'm afraid of the hard long work that I would experience. But I feel like being stuck on this state where even though I got all the resources I need to start, it's hard for me to move forward. When I'm in front of the computer to try to start doing my work, learning certain subjects, to achieve my dreams, I feel like there's some sort of wall preventing from diving into that chaos of hard long learning. Instead, I end up doing something else to make myself feel better like watching random videos, playing games, so on.... I got the plan and tools to be successful, yet I don't have the power of initiation. I'm stuck on this cycle, always feeling down that I can't accomplish my tasks. it's time for me to break that cycle. It's time for me to prevent my fear of this long hard, maybe less fun, activity called learning from making over and actually conquer it...and eventually start creating my own apps. It's time for me to stop this downward spiral, where I keep feeling bad about myself and producing less motivation and energy, feeding this lack of initiation and commitment on what's important.
This is why I'm more prone to do irrelevant fun stimulating things that won't make me feel better and help me in the long run. Because it makes me feel better... I tend to focus too much of it that I end up going no where to do what's important in my life... causing me to feel more down and more need to do irrelevant stimulating things.
If anyone reading this and share the same feeling about pursuing our dreams then
IT IS TIME WE BREAK THIS DAMN CYCLE!!!!
WE CAN DOO ITTTT....

"I promise you nothing is as chaotic as it seems. Nothing is worth your health. Nothing is worth poisoning yourself into stress, anxiety, and fear." Steve Maraboli.
I agree 100% :) . great video man
I couldn't agree more with what you said, truth be told it exactly happened to me last night.I was worrying about my financial situation,then i got up applied three part time jobs straight away.My biggest most fearful nightmare is that one day I lose all my money and job,no one around me i can count on and the worst is i am lack in knowledge to turn things around.This fear drives me to educate myself,extend my social cycle ,make strategy and take action.
"You can live without money, you can't live with no future. When you don't have hope, then things go downhill real fast."
inspiring words man
My biggest fear is living a life that I am not happy about and not being able to change it. Being stuck at a job I don't like or stuck with somebody I don't love. Not living to my highest potential is what I fear the most. CHOOSE ME TAI ! I've seen almost all of your videos and I love them all. I don't need an iPad but some entrepreneur tools will do the job. I saw the video " Tai Lopez Conspircy " and it made me angry. I support you all the way and can say that you have truly inspired me in every way. LET ME BE YOUR EXPERIMENT AND PROVE TO ALL OF THOSE NON-believers that what you say is gold and is of very high value. Keep it going Tai ! I hope you make a difference in the world.
My greatest fear is upsetting people that are closest to me, especially my parents. In my mind theres always a constant struggle over my wants for a "career" over theirs, and at most times we compromise... but riding the middle lane to nowhere isn't much better than laying down my arms to my parents' wishes. Another fear I have is falling into consumption rather than saving money for better investments in the future. My first real investment in myself was the 67 steps -- I've been going through Tai's 67 steps slowly but steadily, and its really changed my mindset. I can't imagine what I would be doing without this information, and its a shame schools don't teach this on a universal scale.
My biggest fear is not living up to my potential. Just recently that fear became very real for me, but Tai is right. Fear can be an extremely powerful motivating force. Especially to someone who has opportunities to do what they love for a living. I've been playing the trumpet for 6 years and I'm 17 years old. Even though I landed gigs at Monterey Jazz festival, Ocean Wave recording studio, and my local all state Jazz band, the fear of not being good enough is still very real. That fear is all it took for me to get my act together in school and to push myself to be better. The fact that this video popped up on my feed is an amazingly beautiful synchronicity, because I was just cramming to get work done before this semester ended, and I was afraid I wasn't going to make it in life because of my grades.
My son and myself watch your videos to gain insight into a reality that we want. This particular video about fear though, has driven us to understand that there is a tool we have not been using. Alexander, my son, has been getting bullied at school. This is a reoccurring fear of his. It's something he deals with on a daily basis. Needless to say, this topic you've brought up, one he and I both understand quite well, will be factoring in in a way we had not known before. He says when he feels this fear, from now on, that he will tell someone because perhaps this bully has his own fears and they need to be brought to light.
Fear, not living up to being the man that I know I am, or becoming the person my dog thinks I am. Greatness of self to be great for others. the couch is very real and relatable.

My biggest fear right now is not being able to turn around my current path and power of Habit.
I have been following you for about a year and have learned a lot from you. However, this video really nails some strong points that could really change my path.
I'm proud to say that your someone I look up to, changing my life one step at a time. Not in the best position of my life right now, but I know the fight and the struggle isn't over but that's not a bad thing it will only make me more successful and hungry for that good feeling. Thank you !
Hey Tai I just want you to know that you are a blessing man. You truly are. You have no idea how many people you are giving hope to and inspiring. The first time I saw your garage ad I honestly was a little skeptical. But after truly seeing what an amazing and cool person you are from your videos and stuff, I know you are the real deal. If it wasn't for that ad, I probably wouldn't have hope that someday I can wake up and actually enjoy my life and say that I am living. Life is all about balance and trying to improve everyday. Nothing comes easy and the only way to be successful and be happy with your life is to get off your ass and do something. The only person that's gonna make you a millionaire is you! Got to be willing to grind to the point where as if you were taking your last breathes. It's really awesome how you make short videos on youtube and make free videos for people to watch. You don't even have to do it but you do it anyways. Thank you so much for everything you do man! You're a cool guy. Even if I don't win whatever prize, hopefully you at least read this and know that you're changing people's lives.
Favorite quote from Rocky on fear,
It's not about how hard you hit, it's about how hard you can get hit and keep moving foward. How much can you take and keep moving foward. That's how winning is done. If you know what you're worth then go out and get what you're worth. But you got to be willing to take the hits and not go around pointing fingers saying that you're not where you're at because of him or her or anyone. Cowards do that!
I dont really care about the Ipad mini but I do think that reminding yourself of your fears will motivate you.
For me my biggest fear is just staying where I am and not growing to be a better person, someone who has control of its own life and can obtain financial freedom, social freedom and free of social conditioning. Basically, living the abundant lifestyle with a touch of humbleness and inspiration to help other achieve the king status in themselves as I will do with me.
Great video man , keeps me motivated
My friend Cameron and I have talked several times about this guy and we both mutually agree that this guy really knows about life.

Always learning, knowledge is the key!
my biggest fear is time. time comes and go and each day that passes and I'm still stuck in the same position I was 5 months ago and scares the hell out of me. I work everyday. I work two jobs and have this feeling of constant fear I will barley make ends meet, not be able to fill my gas tank to get to these jobs that pay just enough and not enough to save , or not being able to buy food. I have motivation but life and as you say mother nature has a way of making you feel depleted and weak and unmotivated and stuck in the same cycle with the same negative flow of constant worry and pain and sickness and heaviness on your chest that you feel like your world is just discovering and your working to pay bills. I couldn't have came across this video at a better time. I know I'm ranting and no-one will probably ever read this all, but this video touched me and I came across it at the right time. every single thing Tai says is how my life has been the past 6 months; in the aspect of anxiety regarding money. I'm ready for a healthy uphill change and living in worry if so unhealthy and is holding me back from the potential I know I have in my spirit. Positive thoughts bring positive results and I will not stop till I get there.
18 years old studying chemical engineering, came to the US when I was 16, skipped two grades. biggest fear is when I get older and look back and be satisfied by what I had done when I was young and had not put in enough work in order for my older self to be in relief. So I am trying to gain as much knowledge about every thing I can talk to mentors and different professors advisors, read the news study hard, and take entrepreneurial classes and not have any what ifs when looking back at my life.
The thought of not being able to be at full potential of myself gives me PANIC. the thought of ANXIETY kicking in because I locked myself out gives me FEAR. These thoughts keep me up till dawn in which will bring nothing but tears. all these wasted years and here I am at the bottom of the scheme.
Conquering my fears and using it as my strength and power. Thank you Tai for teaching all this positive things.
Biggest fear is not doing enough in the time I have. I'm 19 years old and want to be good at everything. Not in the literal sense, but everything that interest me. I'm very competitive but also lazy and procrastinate too much at times. This fear i have petrifies me that I am wasting too much time. Anyway just came across your videos the past couple days and have been really enjoying them. They have been giving me serious motivation and inspiration, thank you!
My biggest fear in life honestly Tai is not taking enough risks. I love the entrepreneur lifestyle and just being able to enjoy life more. But as you mentioned I let fear ruin all of that, once my business went down I had "fear" of taking another risk in life. I had "fear" that I wouldn't be good enough anymore, and sadly now I'm back where it all began, working at a minimum wage job, busting my ass in college and trying to provide for my family. it's definitely hard but I know in my heart that I'm better than what society has to offer for me. I just want to develop the skill set to be able to take more chances on myself and become a better me because you're totally right I'm only 21 and I'm not getting any younger. love your videos and the inspiration you give to me thanks!
My biggest fear is falling behind while I still have an advantage. Tai I recently started listening to your thoughts on TH-cam, as well as the presentation you streamed this past weekend, and it made me realize how lucky I am to be in my current position. I'm set to graduate uni next year (major in economics), my parents don't charge me rent, and I have a few thousand in my bank account.
The only problem is that up until recently, I've just been sitting on my ass as the world around me kept moving forward. Not anymore. I'm at a tremendous advantage over many other people my age, and I don't intend to lose it.
Biggest Fear: Not being there when I'm needed the most!
I'm hearing you!
Thanks Tai
I just turned 20 recently and my fear is living average. My parents come home deadbeat trying pay off bills and a expensive two story house. My mother works 2 jobs one day and the other night my father gets up at five a.m to 3 pm. while going to plumbing school. 2 brothers who graduated with degrees without knowing what to do they continued working as a result. Now I'm quitting college because i don't know what to do. I really like taking your advice because dealing with anxiety is not the easiest thing.
My biggest fear is that I'll never be anything in life , I'm 18 years old so my life is bearly starting . I feel like I haven't accomplished anything that could make me feel proud of my self ' but every time I watch one of your videos or even if it's a short one on Instagram your videos always motivate me to strive for greatness in life and become a better person and I thank you for that tai .
Not finding my purpose in life & staying in the state of uncertainty too long is my fear. Finding my purpose & work that fulfills me, will lead to health, wealth, love & happiness.
My biggest fear is not having a voice in this world. I have so much to share and teach, but i have yet to build up my credibility as a social entrepreneur. Thank you Tai for the message.
Hey Tai! it's Nina from the NY conference! You are an amazing teacher. I could listening to you all day. I have been listening to you with my daughter and even got my dad to listen
I'm thirteen and am inspired by this. I have stayed up till 6 am for a year. Now I found this to try.... Thank you.
Has to be one of the most relatable videos you've put out, so many need to hear this. Sad thing, so many won't.
My biggest fear is not being able to use my skills and resources to save friends, family and honest honest who are struggling financially, physically or mentally. I don't want watch helplessly as people are struck down in their pursuit of life. This fear drives me to learn all I can about the world we live in. Appreciate the video Tai
"Never are all conditions present that favor the launching of a power act, he who waits until such perfections arrives is without courage and strength."
I fear the thought of disappointment that I may have been able to prevent or reduce on the faces of those that I love, friends that I know and people that I have never met. At the ripe age of 26 I most fear not having touched or reached a life that could have been enhanced from hearing about my struggle and message. Every person deserves a chance to gain understanding, perspective and peace of mind. Not sharing my gifts as affectively as possible renders a feeling of worry, but using that as fuel to create a revolutionary education experience is my mission. Having gone through the highest of highs and the lowest of lows at such a young age was confusing until I harnessed the lessons learned. While the agony from pain initially produced a "woe is me" attitude, I realized the things that happened had made my gifts pour out of me, as I was able to better other people's lives with the education life had abruptly given me. You struck a cord when speaking on hope, for it is exactly that which all positive energy flows from. When hope seems lost we must go search for it, we must create it if it's not given to us. Getting people to extrapolate the time spent in the world they created for themselves, unlocking inner purpose and the gifts given to each individual should be our constant pursuit. Each path is different, but the message is universal.
Thank you for your vision and work,

I have read many Star Wars novels, I created my own fine line between the Sith and the Jedi, it's something I have learned and it is what I began to apply to my life...
There is balance between emotion and peace
Through my passion, strength, and knowledge comes power
Through this power I shall find serenity and harmony
Through serenity and harmony I find victory
Through victory my chains are broken
There is no death to set me free, only the force
