be fearless

Show no trepidation

To be fearless is to act without fear or hesitation, especially when facing danger, difficulty, or opposition.

The phrase often serves as encouragement or aspiration: Be fearless in pursuit of what sets your soul on fire.

In practice, being fearless usually means proceeding despite fear rather than feeling none at all.
