(00:02):
prepare for each challenge alongthe way toward success.
It's not simple, but it can bedone.
Welcome to my Common SenseMotivation Episodes.
I'm Chris FantasticPow.
Don't force fear into your life.
There are two forces that shapeevery decision you make faith
and fear.
(00:24):
Faith whispers go for it, whilefear screams what if?
The difference between living inpeace and living in panic often
comes down to which voice youfeed.
Fear is not your enemy, it's awarning light.
It's your body's way of sayingpay attention.
But here's the truth.
(00:44):
When you start forcing fear intoyour life, when you treat it as
a permanent residence instead ofa passing visitor, you build
walls around your opportunitiesthat were meant for you.
You start imagining failurebefore you've even tried.
You start preparing for painthat hasn't even arrived yet.
Fear doesn't just block yourprogress, it slowly rewires your
(01:07):
confidence.
Every time you say I can't, yourspirit hears it.
Every time you back away fromwhat you were born to do, your
potential takes a step back too.
Fear grows when you feed it.
Faith grows when you move away.
You can't control what fearshows up in your mind, but you
can control what you do next.
(01:29):
Don't let fear become yourcompass.
Don't let it set the rules.
Don't let it dictate what youcan become.
Fear only has power when yougive it permission.
Walk with courage when yourknees shake.
Speak life over your future evenwhen doubt whispers death into
your dreams.
Stand tall in uncertainty.
(01:51):
You are built stronger than yourfears.
So the next time fear knocks,don't invite it to move in.
Acknowledge it, learn from it,but don't force it into your
life.
Because once you do, it'll startdeciding what you deserve.
And you do deserve better.
Make it happen.

Are You A Charlotte?
In 1997, actress Kristin Davis’ life was forever changed when she took on the role of Charlotte York in Sex and the City. As we watched Carrie, Samantha, Miranda and Charlotte navigate relationships in NYC, the show helped push once unacceptable conversation topics out of the shadows and altered the narrative around women and sex. We all saw ourselves in them as they searched for fulfillment in life, sex and friendships. Now, Kristin Davis wants to connect with you, the fans, and share untold stories and all the behind the scenes. Together, with Kristin and special guests, what will begin with Sex and the City will evolve into talks about themes that are still so relevant today. "Are you a Charlotte?" is much more than just rewatching this beloved show, it brings the past and the present together as we talk with heart, humor and of course some optimism.
