Fear is a powerful tool of manipulation. 4 examples.

1. When people fear missing out, they are proving to you that they are not satisfied with something.

2. The last 3 years have proven we can’t trust government agencies to tell us the truth and now they are leveraging their muscle to silence political opponents thus causing more fear.

3. All the hot bodies and smiling faces on social media cover over a lot of very discontented people.

4. Everyone has an expiration date. When you die, you can’t take your Aventador or Centenario with you. And no matter what, just like you, they will eventually turn to dust.

Studies performed that reviewed people that were dying have fascinating results. The vast majority of people have substantial levels of discontent and regret. Very few have a deep fulfillment for everything they’ve accomplished.

Durable Fulfillment is a result of a person feeling they have completed their mission. They have run their race. They have lived their life, eaten the chocolate cake, enjoyed their friends, family, and business.

Fulfillment is not a temporary feeling of happiness or success or freedom in life’s peak moments.

Durable Fulfillment is an enduring sense of all three. It comes with physical health, personal boundaries, emotional energy, intellect, and good decision making skills.

It takes time to develop and grow and that is what makes it so special and important to achieve.

So here is the formula:

Happiness (Emotional Energy) + Success (Intellect) + Freedom (Decision Making) + Durability (Personal Boundary) = Durable Fulfillment

The BioPsychoStress Model helps us understand our Psychology which is the software we run through our brain hardware.

There are 4 parts to all of our psychology. With these 4 parts we can address any personal, family, or business decision.

Remember, Stress is “a negative emotional energy coming at you from outside of your personal boundary.”

1. Our Personal Boundary includes our integrity and what we expect from ourselves and how we allow others to treat us. The Golden Rule is treat others as you would have them treat you.

2. Emotional Energy – positive self-esteem versus negative anger and anxiety.

3. Intellect – our “data” like beliefs, ideas, values, history, education, and experience.

4. Decision-making – Constructive, Destructive, or Indecision

Thoughts from Matthew 22:39

The BioPsychoStress Model helps us understand how our Brain is the physical part of our human computer. It’s our Hardware. 

That means our Psychology is like our software that is programmed by our family, culture, school, etc. 

Remember, Stress is “a negative emotional energy coming at you from outside of your personal boundary.” 

Stress is therefore different types of data that is being input into our computer software. If the data is actually a virus or a trojan horse program, it will corrupt and destroy your software if it’s left and not removed. 

For example, with all of the depressing and angry woke and Leftist ideology that many school teachers are using to indoctrinate our children, and that is trying to destroy your family values, you have to confront the teachers to stop the virus and teach your kids with wisdom and compassion so they can withstand the negativity and pessimism. 

That negative emotional energy that divides people instead of uniting them can be overcome by helping your kids make stronger more constructive decisions. 

This is how we all become more like the Tortoise with stronger personal boundaries and less like the Rat. Making stronger constructive decisions is like using an antivirus before the virus reprogram our software and take over our system. 

The same is true for any type of decision you make. Making better and better decisions helps improve our biology and our psychology. We become more resilient to negative stress and pessimistic people. 

Now listen, when I was at my deepest point because of the severe pain and nerve damage from the GBS (Guillan-Barre Syndrome) I won’t lie and tell you I never thought about what might happen if I was no longer with my family. I sought out help to talk about things. 

If you are thinking about how things could be better for your family if you weren’t with them, that is a lie from Hell and I encourage you to talk with someone. Therapy and drugs can help get you back to the place where you can begin making better decisions and overcome your difficulties. 

This is how it is for us with our families. We can’t help heal in others what we haven’t helped heal within ourselves.

The BioPsychoStress Model is used to explain the sources of all problems and to provide a starting point and a roadmap to solving for them.

These problems and your responses affect your health and reflect on the level of personal and psychological health you have.

Stress is “a negative emotional energy coming at you from outside of your personal boundary.”

So, in the Tortoise, the Hare, and the Rat story, the Tortoise does very well because of his thick shell. This is his strong personal boundary.

The Hare could potentially turn things around by growing up and making better decisions. The Rat has to learn to overcome his own past choices, grow up, and make better choices.

This is how it is for us with our families. We can’t help heal in others what we haven’t help heal within ourselves.

Surveys indicate that if anything can warm CEOs’ hearts, it is innovation: They need it to remain competitive and to build their businesses. Thus, as a salesperson, you must be an “innovation alchemist.” As the complexity and cost of doing business increases, senior executives often become directly involved in purchasing decisions.

“What you are really selling, and what the customer is really buying, is expertise and your ability to apply it in new ways to improve the customers’ results.”

Studies show that nearly 38% of top executives think of salespeople as colleagues and expect them to develop innovative concepts on their behalf. Become adept at these five procedures:

1. Know when and where to provide your innovation expertise: Sometimes, doing so is inappropriate.

Listen First

Your Values Guide Response

2. Alert your customers to market and regulatory trends and other factors that may affect their businesses.

Your best customer is your family

Teacher’s Union – DOJ calling concerned parents domestic terrorists

3. Stay on the lookout for novel applications.

Creative Ideas Within Values

4. Discover and point out your customers’ needs before they express or even identify them themselves.

REAL Conversations

Looking Forward

5. Don’t be afraid to try new things. Experiment.

Start small

Cooking the perfect burger

You are a heartbeat away from your greatest success.

Different things going on just today, I have to update the company website, review new merchandise designs, meet with different team members, check up on project status, discuss new tool designs to create powerful families.

Daughter came up and gave me a hug while I was sitting at my desk and I realized that I helped create that heartbeat.

Then, I helped grow that heartbeat.

Then, I helped nurture that heartbeat.

Then, I helped clothe that heartbeat.

And now, that heartbeat knows these things, appreciates and loves me for it, and listens to me when I give her my thoughts about things.

Thoughts from Psalms 119:11

Your results are your responsibility. Your family’s results are also your responsibility.

You may hate the following idea. But, Dad and Mom, you are in sales.

You have competing interests that want to distract your attention from the challenges just like you have competing interests on your job.

Your kids school work has to be negotiated. You need to negotiate your family budget. You need to prioritize when to replace furniture, fix the car, and buy clothes.

All of these require you to become better at communicating and solving problems.

You have to advocate for the things you want with your spouse, or a teacher, or your employer this means you are in the business of finding and presenting solutions.

Your hands on knowledge of how your health also means you must learn to become more involved in the processes surrounding school, physical fitness, and dig in deeper to be more personally effective.

Most school districts send out messages about grades and school assignments. But are you even opening them so your kids know you’re involved? You can’t advocate for what you aren’t aware of.

The wokeism that is going on in the classroom is hurting your families if you aren’t having these conversations with your kids.
