It’s critical that we realize our lives can change at any moment.
Realistically, there will be times when our everyday lives suddenly alter; the
only question is when. It could happen when you least expect it. You might get
a dreaded phone call, come up with a brilliant idea, loose your job, meet a new
friend, discover a new career direction, or fall in love. You just never know,
and this is one of the reasons that makes life so fascinatingly mysterious.

There are two kinds of people in life—those who make their decisions based on faith and those who are constrained by fear. Faith inspires us to move forward, while fear can keep us trapped in the mundane but “safe” world of our own choosing.

Do you have fears that hold you back from opportunities to grow? Dwelling in fear versus faith makes all the difference in what you are willing to do. How you choose to approach the risks and opportunities set before you will largely determine your lot in life and impact your potential for happiness.

Have you ever noticed just how powerful focus is in directing our emotions, actions and behaviors? For example, I used to get really freaked out when I drove on the freeway and came upon a stretch that was boundaried by concrete barricades. My attention became more or less locked on those barricades, often inducing a near-panic feeling that any moment I might plow into one. Maybe you’ve had the same experience or something similar.

Well it’s that very same phenomenon–the focus factor–that contributes to a sense of dread anytime you face something uncertain or that you fear. And it is our focus that often determines our emotional state, actions, behavior, perceptions and ultimately our results.

Everyone wants to be happy, but their happiness must not cause other people’s suffering, otherwise it is a selfish happiness that is not real.

As a matter of fact, the contradictions one finds when searching for happiness are the most important stages of this journey because people tend to neglect other people’s happiness when thinking about their own. This indifference is responsible for many conflicts that cause pain and even tragedies, especially concerning love relationships with married people.

We were all born with a good dose of courage in our natural make up and it is by assimilating the fears and doubts of those around us that, if we are not careful, courage is gradually eroded away and replaced by fear.

Larry: Why didn’t they tell us?

Bob: Because they themselves didn’t know. They knew even less than we knew, if you can imagine such a thing. They really believed there was god, motherhood, the flag and apple pie.

Larry: You mean you knew all along? I didn’t! I feel like such a jerk at age fifty-one, but I was fixed on those lies just like everyone else. I didn’t want to know anything about the truth. More accurately, I didn’t want to know that there really wasn’t any truth. It would have been too scary to have nothing to believe in. I guess I wanted security rather than reality. I think I still do but somehow those “truths” have become so eroded that I can’t fake a belief in them any longer – no matter how hard I try.

Here are 5 tried and tested ways to overcome your stage fright and nervousness! And yes, I get nervous all the time. The question is how well you cover it up or leverage it to make your speech even more impactful!

1. Thoroughly Prepare

Go through your materials as many times as possible, until you are comfortable with them. Write your speech ahead of time and give yourself a lot of time to rehearse. If possible, rehearse as if you are giving the actual presentation. In other words, incorporate your props (if any), staging (how you move, where you position) and delivery (body gestures, eye contact) into your rehearsal. Because the more you practice, the more comfortable you will be. And the more comfortable you are, the more confident you will be. Simple logic.

You were born with a passion to do something unique with your life. As a divine being it was given you from the infinite supply of the universe. As an unborn child in your mother’s womb, you had it swirling all around you, and it lived and breathed inside of you, even before your little lungs developed.

It survives by simply being - no thinking required. Passion is a gift from the Universe. It’s in you, even though you may have forgotten what it is and how to access it. The key to uncovering your passion is a process. Take a look at this step-by-step process and then actually practice the steps. Before you know it will be living with passion rather than just dreaming about it.

It really depends on the purpose of the speech. If it is for entertainment, then humor will be more important than substance. An after dinner speech is one such example. People would expect you to make them laugh more than to make them learn. Can you imagine someone preaching about the seven effective habits of highly successful people after a six-course meal?
