Are you afraid to go against the grain of how society dictates you need to live? If you\u2019re seeking approval from everyone else but unhappy with who you are, it\u2019s time to let go. It\u2019s time to embrace your inner strength, be courageous, and take back control of your life. This episode of Both on Board is dedicated to being courageous and what that looks like for us.

Are you lying to yourself about what you really want in life? Maybe you\u2019re conforming to someone else\u2019s dreams. Or you\u2019ve kept yourself so busy that you haven\u2019t given yourself time to learn what your purpose is in this life. It\u2019s not about making other people happy.  It\u2019s about building a life that leaves you happy and fulfilled.  It doesn't have to be a wife and kids, a house or a car. It doesn\u2019t have to be the cookie-cutter expectations of society. Give yourself permission to live life on your terms. Have the courage and bravery to live the life you\u2019ve imagined for yourself. Set aside time to find that clarity and ask deeper questions.  What walls do you need to tear down?   We all build walls around ourselves to some extent as a means of protection. Protection from hurt, embarrassment, and the cruelty that we associate with the world. If you find yourself hiding behind the walls and limiting beliefs you\u2019ve constructed for yourself, ask yourself this question: What is it that you\u2019re afraid of? Listen to what those inner voices are telling you\u2014because they\u2019re clues to what you need to overcome.  This inner chatter that makes you feel worthless and afraid is a protection mechanism that you can learn to disarm. Be compassionate with yourself, but start to tear down those walls brick-by-brick. Life is too short to not live it the way you want to. Feel it, acknowledge it, then allow yourself to overcome your fear and move on to something better.  Choose your mentors and advisors wisely We always recommend finding a coach or advisor you trust that you can seek advice from. But we want to caution you to choose wisely. You shouldn\u2019t run to a friend or family member who can\u2019t be objective. You\u2019ll learn nothing from someone who always takes your side. Even worse, if the person isn\u2019t qualified, their limiting beliefs and outlook on the world can hinder your progress. Find a coach or a mentor who is where you are trying to go. You need someone objective who will understand the scope of what you\u2019re going through and help you see the big picture. They\u2019ll help you limit the outside influences and voices that are telling you you\u2019re not good enough.  It takes strength and courage to overcome fear  Stop telling yourself that you\u2019ll do something when you\u2019re no longer afraid. The fear will never go away\u2014you have to act in spite of it. How much time are you wasting by letting your fear win?   What is your fear costing you? Are you going to look back on your life in 20 years and wonder where it all went? Don\u2019t set yourself up to be filled with regret. You have the permission to live the life you desire. Don\u2019t allow yourself to live in fear. We encourage you to find ways to build belief in yourself. Journal, meditate, pray, and do something that builds your courage. Little-by-little you can change your life, until one day you realize you\u2019re truly living your dreams.  Resources & People Mentioned  Eric Thomas Eat That Frog! by Brian Tracy Super Attractor by Gabrielle Bernstein Connect With Ramon and Christy www.BothOnBoard.com Both On Board on Instagram: @BothOnBoard Ray\u2019s Instagram - @OfficialRamonGonzalez Christy\u2019s Instagram - @ChristyRisco Facebook - Ramon Gonzalez Facebook - Christy Risco  Subscribe to Both on Boardon Apple Podcasts, TuneIn, RadioPublic, Google Podcasts, Spotify ","author_name":"Both On Board","author_url":"http:\/\/bothonboard.com","html":"
