  • Bite #2: My Unsuccessful Childhood Story About Feeling “Small"

    Ben's Bites #2

    Today's Bite:
    My Unsuccessful Childhood Story About Feeling “Small.”
    I grew up small. Like really small. Up through all of elementary school, I was tiny. However, I was proudly not the shortest kid in school. But I was 2nd, to a gal named Olivia Lee.
    To make matters worse. I was never taught how to make myself "bigger." (Gestures, body language, vocal tonality, eye contact.) If anything, I didn't know how to even make eye contact, and I was virtually always slouched.
    Talk with my hands? Take up space? Express myself? "Come on, man! I don't even take my hands out of my pockets. I'm so shy I'll almost pee my pants before asking permission to go the bathroom!:
    I wasn't just "small," I actually made myself smaller.
    I kid you not; it wasn't until I was 15 that someone called me out on my total rebellion against eye contact. A girl I liked said, "You're cute, but you can't even look me in the eyes."
    And it wasn't until I was in my early 20s that I noticed everyone would erect their back much more than me; in lamens terms, I was slumped, my posture was shit. I would make myself smaller.
    I could play the blame game. I'm not going to.
    We could hypothesize what courses of action "would have" been best. I'm not going to.
    The past is the past.
    All I know.
    Recognizing you have a problem is the first step to a solution.
    I've since completely catapulted myself into an obsession with social psychology, personal development, and I have done everything I can to be a better man. I am a better man.
    Day by day, I grow.
    Every day, I'm conscious of my past. Through action, I am hyper-focused on making forward progress towards a far better tomorrow.
    These days I stand tall. I widen my shoulders. I straighten my back. I speak with more confidence and conviction than ever. And even though it's not easy, I've accomplished more than I ever imagined possible. I have rewired my brain.
    I won't make an argument that I have arrived... I'm not the definition of "big." And I'm definitely not the man I will be.
    But never again will I have to feel small!
    Where in your life do you feel small? And what are you going to do about it?

  • Bite #1: Do You Remember Tom From Myspace?

    Ben's Bites #1

    Today's Bite:
    Do You Remember Tom From Myspace?
    He was my first “friend” – likely, yours too!
    Who do you think had the most friends on Myspace???
    Not a trick question. It was Tom.
    Why?
    Because he co-founded the platform!!!!!
    If you want a seat at the table… Bring the Table
    If you want to speak on the mic… Buy the Mic
    If you want to be an honoree at an event… Host the Event
    If you want the best view of the stage… Be on the Stage…
    If you want to speak to influencers… Become an Influencer
    If you want to “Win Friends and Influence People,” Make Friends and Be Influential….
    The easiest way to become President of a company, club, or anything for that matter, is to start it.
    And, you don’t need anyone to validate your worth or readiness.
    You can validate yourself.
    If you believe you are worthy… Everyone else will agree.
    YOU DESERVE WHAT YOU WANT. Don’t wait for someone else to give it to you.
