    noiz viol8ion blog #403 – Daring Greatly by Brene Brown

    This a a great book that talks about the power of vulnerability. There is no shame in vulnerability. Putting yourself out there even though you have failed before is a great skill to cultivate. In baseball it is like stepping up to the plate to a pitcher who has been striking you out all day.

    You need to be completely honest with yourself and everyone else. Honest about your strengths and your weaknesses.

    Put your true self out there no matter what happens.
    Be open to criticism and feedback of others.
    Be so confident in your own skin that others opinions of you have no effect on you as a person.

    Everyone is going through there own battles but you being open about yours makes it easier for other people.

    Determine your standards for what is acceptable.

    I am harder on myself than anyone else. This lets me handle criticism well but is not good for self acceptance.

    Sometimes the standards we set for ourselves our unachievable. We can have huge enormous goals but we also have to have micro goals. These micro goals give pleasure and momentum through small wins. Eventual enough small wins add up to big results.

    Blog #183 – Sit down be HUMBLE

    Practice humility like you practice any other skill. Being humble keeps you from slipping. As soon as you think you do not need to do the things that got you where you are is when you start loosing and making mistakes. Being humble allows you to take criticism because you know who you are and you can make fun of yourself.

    Be humble enough to know that there is still more to learn. You are not at the end. You are still growing every single day. The world is your teacher and you are its student. Always be open and receptive to listen to what the world is trying to tell you.

    If you are real about what you want and are humble enough you will find things in unexpected places. You are not above anything.

    Be humble because there is always someone better than you. Learn from the competition, find mentors, read books, and practice everyday to get better.

    Put in the time to get better every single day.
