Don't Let Fear Keep You In A Toxic Situation | Trent Shelton

About this video

Shelton shares his personal journey of overcoming his fear of public speaking and offers three strategies he used to conquer fear in general. He explains that fear is predicting a negative outcome before experiencing something, while faith is believing a door will open even when it doesn’t exist yet. Shelton emphasizes changing the predicted outcome, building confidence through repetition, and accepting that judgment will happen regardless of what you do.

Key takeaways

• Shelton defines fear as creating a known negative result from a situation you haven’t experienced yet, which defeats you before you even try
• According to Shelton, fear cannot survive with repetition—the more you practice something, the more confidence you build and the less fear controls you
• Shelton argues that people will judge you regardless of what you do, so you might as well pursue your gifts and passions instead of letting the fear of judgment silence you
• Shelton suggests that what seems like wrong turns or failures may actually be necessary paths leading you to where you need to be
