Episode #27.   

This is a docu-series on growth/self-improvement and my experiences for building a valuable life.  Here are my notes for this week – Check me out on Twitter and Instagram for other things going on -  @trevorsean12

The power to be alone:   

I've thought a lot about the power of being alone and forcing yourself to work and come up with your own solutions without an outside influence.   

I think it's a great skill to be able to work with others, but in my case, it clouds my decisions and I really need to figure out what I want and what direction I want to go.   Forcing myself to be alone and work through these things has helped a lot in building my own confidence and also helping me clarify my vision for what I want to do.    

Outside Resources:  

I talk a ton about different books, videos, podcasts, talks, etc that have really helped me in my life to figure things out. Still think they're very important.   But, there will come a time when you have all the information that you really need, and the only thing left to do is work and make something happen. 

I've definitely fallen into a trap of continuing to learn but not actually applying. Although it feels like I'm doing something because I'm reading, taking notes, re-reading my notes; I'm still not actually accomplishing anything. 

There's a lot of power in going through things and ultimately, even with all the resources you've used, you still have to do it on your own.   No one is coming to save you. We each have our own responsibility to make our lives happen.
