''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

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 :)

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!

Love the personal story about the business plan and am often reminded that fear is excitement without the breath.

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.

You helped me move past my fear today and everyday from here on out. Thank you.

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.

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 :-)

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!!

as the saying goes, courage is the not the absence of fear but the will to proceed despite being afraid.

I'm that one person you helped today, thankfully. yours John from the UK keep it up dude

I'm going through a very rough patch and you're really helping me find my way! these ideas are great, thank you :)

Brian, thank you ! You broke this down so clearly & definitely changed my day & my life!

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.

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!

THANK YOU BRIAN FOR SHARING THIS...BRILLIANT PERSPECTIVE AND GREAT TOOLS I AM ALREADY PUTTING INTO ACTION!

What a beautiful expression you've created here, Brian! So clearly illustrated and well said plus (bonus!) open and honest ... I so love this! It touched my heart today and gave me something to focus on when I'm feeling fear. Grateful!

Thanks Brian. You are helping people across the planet. You are a great man.

Thank You Brian!! You definitely helped and encouraged at least one person today to move beyond fear. :)

you really spelled it out in such basic terms for all who will receive it...got alot out of it..tks so mcuh

I love you, Brian. Thank you for spreading the Light!

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.

Thank you so much Brian. This is such a blessing!

Your really good at this. Keep doing it because it's your vulnerability that makes it so great.

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!!!

Thank you Brian, you're a life saver. I'm always way too afriad to leave my comfort zone but i hope i'll able to look on the opportunities and conquer my fear, now.

thats awesome Brian. Its just quick and shows very easily where u are. Now I gonna follow it. Thank u.

Thanks. Your message was so powerful that turned my 50% fear into optimism & self control, for remaining I will practice. Thanks again!

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.

This is changing my life 4 real and i thank you for the content Brian. Keep goin!

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

Wow! Great video! I like this!! Thanks for taking the time and helping everyone!

Hi Brian, thanks a lot. I really appreciate your work and you don't have idea how much your work impact my life. Well done. Keep shining

Very good info. You deserve all 100k views. More success to you!

i think i've been needing to hear this for a long time! thank you!

Thank you for sharing this video. Powerful and succinct!

excellent brian....should be taught in every school all over the world

My last fear to conquer is heights, and your video has really helped me in my pursuit of a skydiving license. Thanks for being succinct with your wisdom.

This changed more than just my day, thank you so much

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!

Thanks a lot, this message is very simple but powerful. Great job

you just made my day better... so yes! your video worth it BIG THANKS !

Thanks Brian. Great video. Always feared and felt negative before starting anything in life. Will try this in future.

Love this Brian - thanks for sharing this with us. I'll definitely be keeping this one in the toolbox.

It's official - you have definitely reached more than one person with this message. Thank you for conquering your fear and becoming such a great teacher!

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.

This was a great video, for a long time I have struggled with fear, and most of the time surrendering to it. I had to figure out on my own how conquer fear, but it would always return, sometimes more so then before. After seeing your video, I now have a better way of understanding fear and how to conquer it. Thank you

One of the better models i have come across. Brian Johnson, this is a work of art.

Love it Brian, keep doing what you're doing and keep being an awesome individual.

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, 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.

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!

love this video!!! so authentic.. thank you , great things i am implementing

Thanks for this Brian! Love the way you do your videos on notebook like this. I have so much that I write in notebook for and never thought to do a video like that. Nice! Also the info is super important. I can't tell you how many times I let fear hold me back into my comfort zone.

Thank you for your video Brian!

Priceless...simple and clear explanation... thank you so much.... I am constantly fearful of EVERYTHING..it just holds me back again, and again. I am gonna be putting into practice!!

Thanks Brian :) This was well presented, super helpful advice. Adding this to my favourites to help me break through the fear wall.

Thanks Brian! Breathing is such a key skill. We all need to master it and make it a habit :)

Finally found 'THE' youtube video after watching thousands.Thanks Brian. This has bocome my motto of life.

Wow. "Fear is excitement without the breath" this hits me pretty hard. Thanks!

Awesome way of disecting fear and presenting a practical way of facing it-Thanks!!

Nicely done! Thanks for sharing this.

I love how you have things outlined haha it's awesome thanks for the vids.

THANK YOU SO MUCH!!! I REALLY HOPE YOU BECOME MORE POPULAR THAN NOW AND I HOPE YOU ARE DOING GREAT!

I wish i can "like" this clip multiple times! Mind blowing work, thank you! And frankly, you are the first one who made me write comment on youtube.

You just made a HUGE break through with me! Thank you!!

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.

Thanks for this video. It really helped me get some clarity on how fear has impacted me and how I can overcome it.

Thank you. I really needed this.

get excited ... you changed my day !! thanks ... keep it up

Thank you Brian, this video really helped me today! Many Blessings!

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

From france. It is exactly what i needed to know. It is very liberating. Thank you

Focussing on the service you will deliver when you are courageous allows you to reverse your perspective from being about YOU to being about others. Love that. Thanks Brian. Awesome videos. Glad you got through your fear and made them, you're inspiring me to get onto my own videos!

Thank you so much. I love this exercise! I am trying to help a friend overcome his fear of flying with very similar exercises to change his thoughts first and this one is really great!

THank you so much. Changed my day as well.

Thank youuuuuu . A friend of my introduced your videos to me . I loved them . we both watch them and learn . I like your energy too . Thank you :)

You share this very well with great example. Thank you. After listening to KZfaq for a while - I realize I had your philosopher note package too. It is really awesome.

You know what? That changed my day! Great little morsel that seems like it's quite powerful. Thank you!

Im telling ya, you are amazing, You are giving me and many others some answers that we are searching for a hard long long long time in our life. Thanks A LOT!

Thank you Brian. Love this stuff. Simplified!

Awesome video!! Thank you very much... And what a great idea to communicate your ideas with your notes... Very inspiring!!

Great video! Thanks for sharing!

Wow this is so so good! You nailed it Brian, thanks for the awesome info!

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!

Lov it Brian;-) I will continue to use this. Thank you!

I appreciate your teaching method a lot. I learn very quickly. It's simple and effective.Many thanks.

Super cool Brian! The visual aid and steps created a super clear picture. THANK YOU for making these life changing concepts relateable and practical!

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.

I watched this from England, very nice breakdown of the concept. A great way to start today thanks

Man, you are right on target, I have been mapping out diagrams like this for a long time and great job brian. jason

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!

Awesome video. very smart and supportive. Helped me out so much.

Outstanding! Thank you so much for putting in the effort to make this so mentally digestable! Big ideas without big confusion. I have lots to run with thanks to you!

Thank you Brian Johnson; I will definitely join your premium membership program

Love it! Never saw it this way, I think it will be a game changer for me. Thanks Brian.
