    Blog #255 – Is this scarier than Dying?

    Many people claim their biggest fear is public speaking. WHY?

    You will not die if you give a bad speech. There is no danger to your physical well being.

    The reason people are scared is because they are scared of what people will think about them. They think they will be judged and be disliked.

    You will not be good at public speaking or anything else the first time you do it. That is why you must practice doing the things your scared of.

    Practice eliminates fear. Dedication eliminates fear. Passion and gratitude eliminate fear. Seeing things as opportunities to grow eliminates fear.

    Blog #254 – Accept your Fears

    Fears are a chemical feedback in your body from a stimulus. It makes you feel and react a certain way. The way you react to this sensation in your body is up to you and can be trained.

    Fear was designed for a flight or fight response. Fear has kept the human race alive for many generations and will continue to do so.

    The first response by nearly the whole world was to retract and hide from the corona-virus. This initial reaction was not based on facts but on fear.

    Fear can be a good thing once its learned and accepted. It can cause us to do great things.

    Blog #244 – Finding Meaning and Purpose in what you do.

    The beauty of life is that meaning and purpose are not given to you. You have to find them.

    It’s not what happens to you, but how you react to it that matters.

    We can not always control the results of what happens but we can control our actions and our reactions to the results.

    If you do not know why you are doing something then re-evaluate and find your motivation.

    Blog #243 – Dopamine Kicks

    Your brain is designed to be easily distracted. The first humans needed to be aware of a rustle in the bushes because it might be a tiger jumping out to eat them.

    This means when we are focused on our work any text, email, call can distract us from the task at hand. With smartphones and computers in front of us we know where to get little hits of dopamine. Once we hit a road block on the work at hand we have our patterns and outs to run to.

    The distractions are endless and if you do not focus and work on your focus then you will not accomplish anything.

    You must be able to sit with the uncomfort and solve your problems.

    Blog #242 – Are you on Autopilot

    Most of what you do on a daily basis you are on autopilot. When you wake up, snooze (or not) your alarm, drink coffee, drive to work, park in the same spot, go to your desk, the way you say hello, the way you respond when someone asks, “How are you?” , driving home, getting ready for bed. All of these you do the exact same thing every single day.

    Doing the same thing saves mental energy but we can fall into habits. Some good and some bad.

    This is the land of opportunity.

    If you have a dream then this is the place you want to be. In no other place do you have a chance to control your own destiny as much as you do here in America.

    You have all of these rights and privileges because there were tons of people who fought for you to have them.

    The people who disrupt the status quo will be met with resistance.

    Blog #239 -Stop Looking At Your Competition

    When we are lost we look around at people to see what they are doing. We will see what they are doing and then either be motivated to step up our game or demoralized. Either way you need to stop looking at what others are doing and focus on what you are doing.

    Stop looking at social media and wishing you had what they have.

    Be grateful for your own life and take advantage of the opportunities in front of you.
