But being authentic and being vulnerable don\u2019t mean turning yourself inside out for people to pick you apart.\n\nThere is no such thing as being fearless. Fear is a part of life. Fear is actually here for us. It either owns us or empowers us and we gain our power when we're honest about our fear, surrender to it, and learn from it.\n\nManifestation is different than just relying on luck. It comes from declaring something and then changing it. Sometimes it's blind luck, but usually we make choices. We embrace, we show up, we walk through the door, and we start the conversation.\n\n\xa0\n\xa0\nFiction Credits:\xa0\n\xa0\nFiction piece narrated by: Regina Williams -\xa0https://www.fiverr.com/raejanae\n\xa0\nFiction piece written by: Michael Kobzik\n\xa0\nBIO:\n\xa0\nHeather Vickery is an award-winning business owner and global leader with over 20 years as an entrepreneur.
