I have recently watched 2 Netflix true stories: 'Just Mercy' and 'Trial by Fire'.
The movies certainly bought up all kinds of feelings and were very well made and acted. One based on a black man on death row, another about a poor white man on death row and I recommend them both.
One common thing I took from them both was this, what they did with their time in a little cell with near no privileges was way beyond what they, or most of us, would ever do and become than if they had it all at their disposal as many of us do. What would you stop and start doing if you were living like the letter with your 30 day execution date could come any day?
It may sound like a ridiculous question however how many times does someone insinuate or do something that insinuates something we think is bad and we take the hook and get upset? What if when someone said something that would usually upset us we thought of it the same as being called a fish? The sting would not land right. We all take the hook at some point, however understanding why and gaining awareness gives us the knowledge and power to just keep swimming and not take other people's bait, intended or not.
99% of people experience a fear or concern of being judged in some form. Depending on how aware we are and how we respond will heighten the fear or soften it. There is no point spending precious energy trying to disappear it, however we can prioritise the feelings so that we can perform highly and be uneffected by those fear feelings.
This podcast is about how to do that.
This may not be what you think. It's nothing to do with determination or self-discipline, this episode looks at the "essence" of what it takes to really succeed, to get what we want, to be happy! Yes it is about getting what we want, however consider the reason we want many things is because we think it will make us happy AND how often do you see people getting what they said they wanted only for it to not be enough or for them to be left unfulfilled.
Giving is great, whether it be your time, services, gifts or a compliment, it can make others and yourself happy. What happens though when you cross the line and become an auto-giver? The line between expected happiness is fragile and rarely will leave you fulfilled or consistently happy.
In this episode we look at the fine line between being an auto-giver which is connected to emotions Vs a thoughtful-giver which is attached to a commitment.
Enjoy
Hello! It's been a while, yes I've been stopped. I know I am not alone in being stopped in life, even when it is really important to you and you keep saying you want to and.... it just get's put aside for other things.
Then the longer it goes the harder it seems to start again until eventually it starts impacting on your happiness and then all the important things you were prioritising first start being impacted until you find yourself back in an old familiar rut.
Regardless of how "developed" we are, this is a cycle, however the cycle can take an hour, day, month or year... that bit is up to each of us. Well my cycle of not sharing podcasts is OVER and I am back sharing the very thing I have been going through, getting started again after being stopped.
Thanks for listening, enjoy.
Firstly, please enjoy the sounds of nature in the background of this podcast, the studio was not available.
Confusion - this causes many people to become defensive or offensive or for some to become curious. What is your default response?
We all do it, or most of us anyway. We think we know what others are thinking, especially those we know well. So what's the impact?
Do you ever feel burdened by a situation you have been put in to the extent it affects your health? That's what I refer to in this podcast as being hit by a bus. Life speaks in whispers, if we don't hear them it tends to throw a brick at us, and if we continue to push through we end up getting hit by a bus and the train will be next if we do not stop and reassess.
Ever wished for a little more happiness? If you answered yes then this podcast is for you.
