Ever wonder why life seems to have given an indestructible quality to some people and not others?

Well, you’re in luck.

Here are some secrets that will have you laughing at fear like a samurai legend who just had his Weetabix..

1. Feel your way into uncertainty.

Most of us scaredycats think our way into an unknown future, take one sniff, and fuck off out of there sharpish.

Why?

Because we’re in our heads, listening to our bizarre opinions about what we think might happen.

They’re wrong.

Let go of these thoughts, and find a way to bring a sexy heat to your next steps.

You don’t wait for confidence — you move in a way that conjures it.

Reality always moulds to the shape you’ve chosen.

2. Unlock your belly.

Scared people miss a major trick by turning away from the physical solution to their woes.

They chew on clever ideas in their thick little skulls and wonder why they wake up in a sweat each night.

Hey Courtney, quit sulking, and take a look at what’s going on with you physically.

Free souls know that tension is mostly locked in the belly, so they address it as follows: They do a little jiggle, thrust their hips in and out like Elvis on speed, breathe in with thick, fruity gulps, and shudder that tension out.

Huge secret.

3. They reimagine themselves as heroes of their life story.

True badasses are rare because only a handful of us chose to live life as the main character.

That’s right, Jacob.

You could have been a hero, but you chose to moan about your Monday commute.

Kill your inner dweeb, stand tall, and decide to be a fucking hero.

Create that reality at each turn.

Every good story is packed full of conflict. Your life is no different.
