Pushing Past Your Fears with T Harv Eker

Pushing Past Your Fears with T Harv Eker

‍

Welcome back to The Daily Mastermind. I'm George Wright III, and today I have something special for you. This isn't just another motivational message. It's a powerful perspective from one of my earliest and most influential mentors, T. Harv Eker. You may know Harv as the author of "Secrets of the Millionaire Mind," a book that transformed the way I understood wealth, success, and mindset.

Harv is someone I had the privilege of traveling the world with. His lessons helped shift my path from financial education into the world of personal development. Today, I’m sharing a segment of one of his impactful talks—a masterclass on the mindset, action, and resilience needed to succeed. This message is packed with practical insight and timeless wisdom.

‍

The Process of Manifestation

T. Harv Eker reminds us of a universal truth: "Thoughts lead to feelings. Feelings lead to actions. Actions lead to results."

We often focus heavily on the first two steps—our thoughts and our feelings. We think, we visualize, we hope. But without action, all of that remains in the realm of possibility rather than reality.

Action is the bridge between your internal vision and your external results. It’s the only way your goals and dreams move from the invisible world into the physical one.

Harv jokes that despite 25 years of meditation, he’s never had a bag of money drop on his head. The lesson? No amount of inner work is complete without action. You must engage in the real world.

Facing Fear and Moving Forward Anyway

Fear, doubt, and worry are part of the journey. Every successful person has them. The difference is simple: successful people act in spite of them.

Harv dismantles the myth that wealthy or successful individuals live without fear. Quite the opposite. They feel the same resistance, but they don’t let those emotions paralyze them. Instead, they move forward—step by step—through the fear.

He challenges us to practice this. Not once, but daily. Practice acting in spite of fear. Practice acting in spite of doubt. And most importantly, act in spite of discomfort and inconvenience.

‍

Discomfort Is Where Growth Happens

Comfort zones may feel safe, but they’re where growth stops.

According to Harv, true growth only happens when you’re uncomfortable. When you're out of your routine, facing uncertainty, and moving forward anyway, that’s when you evolve.

He encourages us to not only tolerate discomfort—but seek it. To intentionally move into uncomfortable situations. Because on the other side of discomfort is growth, resilience, and transformation.

If your life is all about staying convenient, you will never create lasting wealth or success.

‍

Are You Someone Who Can Be Stopped?

Harv poses a powerful question: Are you a person who can be stopped?

When someone is unwilling to take a four-hour drive or flight to pursue an opportunity, it's not the travel that’s the problem—it’s their mindset. If something as minor as inconvenience can stop you, then anything will stop you.

You must decide today: Are you someone who is stoppable or unstoppable?

Unstoppable people train themselves not to flinch at fear. They’ve practiced resilience. They’ve practiced risk-taking. And yes, it is a learned skill.

‍

The Simple Rule—If It Won’t Kill You, Do It

Harv offers one of the simplest success filters you’ll ever hear:

If it won’t kill you physically—do it.

Most of the things we hesitate to do are uncomfortable but not dangerous. And yet we let them stop us. Why? Because we’re conditioned to play it safe. We’re trained to protect ourselves at all costs—even at the expense of growth.

Meanwhile, those who succeed are simply more willing to take shots. They try. They fail. They try again. They aren't waiting for certainty. They move when it feels right—even when it’s unclear.

‍

Your Mind Wants Safety—Not Success

Here’s a truth most people overlook: your mind’s primary job is not to make you successful or happy—it’s to keep you safe.

That’s why your brain triggers discomfort whenever you try to push outside your norm. It’s doing its job. But your job is different. Your job is to grow. Your job is to become. And that means you must learn to override that protective instinct and move anyway.

Harv teaches us to stop waiting for comfort. Stop waiting for the right moment. It won’t come. The right time is when you decide to act.

‍

The Declaration of a Millionaire Mind

Harv ends his message with a powerful declaration. If you want to adopt the mindset of a millionaire, start with these words:

"I act in spite of fear."

"I act in spite of doubt."

"I act in spite of worry."

"I act in spite of inconvenience."

"I act in spite of discomfort."

"I act in spite of anything."

Say it. Own it. Then go take action.

‍

Final Thoughts: It’s Your Turn

You have a millionaire mind inside you. The difference between where you are now and where you want to be isn’t ability. It’s action.

It’s your willingness to face fear, to embrace discomfort, and to push forward without certainty.

So the next time you hesitate, remember this: If it won’t kill you, do it.

Growth is on the other side of action. Success is on the other side of fear. And your future begins the moment you decide to become unstoppable.

It’s time to step forward.
