The lie of our fears:
We’d rather face our regrets
Than fail at passion
It is important to learn the lies our psyche tells us. This holds us back from soi very much. Let’s stand against this together, shall we?
Ah, the power of thankfulness! It’s important to maintaining that positive vibe, you know?
I hope your Thursday is going well, and that you’re feeling great about what you’re doing.
Each day move forward
Seek out the best in ourselves
Honoring the sky
Good morning and welcome to Tuesday! I hope your week moves you in the direction you seek.
Happy Monday…er….Thursday to you! I’ve been out of my office until today. It’ll be a challenge to return. Looking forward to 2019.
I will resist fear
And all that’s holding me back
Embrace my future
A few months ago I made the decision to live move effectively. I’ve been feeling stuck for some time, with the associated feelings of powerlessness and frustration. I’m not a fan.
I’ve understood for decades the power of the mind. That we can actively, proactively engage our thoughts and change the way we interact with the world. And that doing so is powerful and game-changing.
I was stuck in some old frustrations: regret, guilt, getting overwhelmed with all the potentials. All come from fear. All weren’t rationale. All held me back. And I got sick of it.
I’ve also known that what I feed my mind impacts my energy, my focus and my drive. I’m now shifting what I put into my head. What I watch, listen to.
I’m reading more. Such works as Good To Great, The Power of Habit, The 4 Disciplines of Execution. Every day I want to grow. Every day I want to be better when I go to bed than I was when I woke up.
I’m starting my day with a focus on motivation, on positive energy. This week, I’m opting for motivational videos (the one below is what I watched today). It does feel a bit silly right now, even with all I’ve studied showing the truth to doing this. When I get past the notions of “what others might think”, though, I feel better. The day feels lighter, and have more energy. It’s easier to say “no” to the things that hold me back.
The funniest part in all this: “what other’s might think” has done nothing for me. It adds nothing to my life. And, really, in the end, what have I to loose?
One day at a time. One action at a time. Each moment, each step, each day moves me forward. And that’s where I want to be.
You going to join me there?
How you start each day
A few seconds of focus
Will empower you
I’m working on filling my mind and soul with positive energy. Here’s a short video to help focus on the right things, those things that enable us to do great things, to push past our perceived limits.
Go and do great things!
One thing I’ve long enjoyed doing: walking while listening to podcasts. I love how I can be selective of what I want to hear. There are so many out there, with only a little effort, I can focus on whatever my “big rocks” are right now.
I’ve been working on making some life changes. Things like eliminating debt, truly managing my career (as opposed the series of happy accidents it’s been to this point).
In support of that, I’m focusing my energy on positive change, on listening to people who are moving the needle, so to speak. Sure, I’m still trying to figure out what I’m going to do when I grow up. Actually, I’ve come to abandon that mindset. I’m focusing on what I want to do now, and what I want to do next. I’m thinking my career focus shall be “I make cool shit happen”. What do you think?
Today, during my walk, I listened to Gary Vee (aka: Gary Vaynerchuck, if you’ve not heard of him). I share with him the consternation of folks my age whining about millennials. But that wasn’t the biggest thing. Gary is always reminding you that you’re empowered, that you can make your dreams come true, and that it’s not easy. That’s why it’s called “work”.
I’m reminded, yet again, that taking on the challenge of driving my life comes with fears. Fears of the unknown, of failing, of looking like a fool. Yet everyone who’s done anything of real value in this life has faced all this. It’s been done before, it can be done now. It can be done by me.
Below is the link to the podcast in question. Let me know if you like it, the thoughts you get from it, or any other podcasts you recommend. I’m looking forward to hearing about it.
