Some of us are scared of spiders or snakes. Some of us are scared of the dark. Some, of a few things like rejection or failure. I think all of us are afraid of something. And what many of us do is take those fears, put a mask on and pretend like we're not really afraid.  Then that creates even more problems. In this lesson we're going to talk about how to unmask our fears and deal with him in a genuine and honest way. So we can live more confident lives.

Do you have that one person in your life that you always seem to be jealous of? They have the bigger house. They get the bigger paycheck. They get to go on all the trips that you wish you could go on. Maybe you have a little bit of resentment maybe even a little bit of anger towards them and maybe sometimes even talk about them behind their backs.

Of course when you see him face-to-face, it's "Hey good to see you. Saw your pics. That's awesome. I'm happy for you."

You're not happy for them, you're jealous of them. We're going to talk about our envy and how we try to mask it and pretend that is not there, and how we need to take those masks off and deal with our envy and our jealousy in a genuine way so that is not a problem for us anymore.

In this lesson, Marshall talks about how to unmask our real identity and experience the freedom of living a genuine life.

Baggage - the memories and emotions we carry with us because of past experiences. For many of us the heaviest baggage we carry was handed to us by our families.

Back in 1964, the Rolling Stones sang, "Time is on my side," but most of us couldn't disagree more.
