Motivational Quotes

Choose Faith Over Fear Every Single Time

Gillian OrtegaJune 21, 20252 min read

Every single day, you stand at a crossroads. Two voices are screaming for your attention. One is the voice of fear, and it's loud. It tells you all the reasons you can't, all the ways you'll fail, all the dangers that lie ahead. The other voice is the voice of faith. It's quieter. It's a whisper. But it's the most powerful force in the universe. And you have to choose which one you're going to listen to.

I chose faith when I left Ireland with $20. I chose faith when I started my first business with no experience. I chose faith when I built international teams in countries where I didn't speak the language. Every time fear screamed "You can't," faith whispered, "Watch me." That choice is the reason I'm standing here today as a multi-millionaire.

The Core Principle: Faith and Fear Cannot Coexist

You cannot be in a state of faith and a state of fear at the same time. It's a choice. One is a prison; the other is a launching pad. Fear will keep you small, safe, and stuck. Faith will propel you into the stratosphere of your destiny. You must be ruthless in starving your fears and feeding your faith.

The Million-Dollar Framework: The Faith-Over-Fear Formula

1. Name Your Fear

You cannot conquer what you will not confront. Write down your biggest fear. What is the worst-case scenario that's playing in your head? Get it out of the shadows and into the light. When you see it on paper, you'll realize how powerless it really is.

2. Find Your Faith Anchor

What is the one truth, the one belief, the one past victory that you can hold onto in the face of fear? Is it a scripture? A quote? A memory of a time you overcame? Find your faith anchor and hold onto it with everything you've got.

3. Take a "Faith-Fueled" Action

The only way to kill fear is with action. What is one small, courageous step you can take right now, in the face of your fear? Make the call. Send the email. Hit "publish." That one act of faith will silence the voice of fear and start a chain reaction of courage.

Income-Producing Activity (IPA)

This week, your mission is to go on a "Fear Fast." Every time a fearful thought enters your mind, I want you to immediately do two things: 1) Speak your faith anchor out loud. 2) Take one small action towards your goal. You are going to retrain your brain to respond to fear with faith and action. This is how you build the muscle of courage.

Unshakable Belief Close

Your breakthrough is on the other side of your fear. The life you dream of is waiting for you to have the courage to claim it. Choose faith. Choose action. Choose to believe in the power that God has placed inside of you. Because when your WHY makes you CRY, you are DESTINED FOR GREATNESS!
