Fear is a Choice

You should be leaving your legacy Now!

From Scott:

Well, I would say two things, fears of choice. So that's number one, you know, we choose to be fearful, you know, and it's about living in the future.

And you know, we create stories all the time and we can't allow those stories in our head to dictate how our life ends up going.

And again, it's really easy with what is being facilitated on social media.

What's being facilitated in the news it's it's really easy to get sucked into that drama and the the the fear that is being instilled out there. But again, it's your choice.

You can either be live in fear, or you can be enlightened, and you can be excited about this time and I know people may be listening to that and saying, How the hell can you be excited about the time right now?

Well, What I can tell you is that, you know, opportunity knocks in the most inopportune times. Absolutely. And, you know, a lot of people may feel that we're we're in this this dark tunnel right now.

But the one thing that I can tell you if you know anything about tunnels, there's always a light at the end of it. That's right. And as long as we keep moving forward, we're going to get to where we want to be. And so number one is don't give in to the fear number two, is really seek to pull all the positives out of this current situation that you can. Whether it's you're cooking more at home than you ever did before, you're not you're not ordering in, you're not like ordering out you're not going through drive thru.

You're paying more attention to your your hygiene than you ever had before. You're spending more quality time with your kids, your your your You're being more socially interactive, you're, you're finding new ways to communicate with your family, whether it's through Skype or zoom or FaceTime, you're being very intentional with prayer or gratitude or your faith, you're, you're just so much more present, you're stopping to smell the roses, the air is cleaner pollution has diminished.

You know, money is not ruling the world right now, all these things that if you start thinking about them, there have been some positives. From all of this. Every positive has a negative, every negative has a positive, and you can choose to focus on either one of those.

So even though there absolutely has been some negative things that have happened with this, I still to choose, I still choose to focus on the half the glass being half full, instead of being half empty. So I try to find the best and the the victories and the lessons and the positives, no matter what's going going on in the world.

Jay:

Hello. My name is Jay Walter, and this is rebuilding. Oliver Wendell Holmes said, a mind that is stretched by a new experience can never go back to its old dimensions. So let's stretch our minds, find answers to problems, overcome fears, and rebuild our first kingdom. Welcome to another episode of rebuilding. I'm your host Jay Walter. Today we have a very special guest. His name is Tony Lloyd. Tony Lloyd is a TEDx speaker, podcast host and bestselling author of crazy good advice. 10 lessons learned from 150 leading social entrepreneurs. He is a former fortune 500 executive with extensive experience in strategic planning, talent management and leadership development. Tony is the host of the podcast social entrepreneur where he shares positive stories from under represented voices focused on solutions. Welcome, Tony. I appreciate you spending some time with me today.

Tony:

Well, thanks for having me on, Jay. I really appreciate you having me.

Jay:

Oh, it's always nice to have a, another voice and another point of view on things about, uh, rebuilding or, or, uh, taking charge of your life. Yeah, so, exactly. So tell me a little bit about what makes Tony, Tony?

Tony:

Uh, well, besides the insanity, I guess. Uh, so I, you know, I think in the, in the spirit of rebuilding, um, I, I had a corporate career and I, um, was, uh, you know, vice president in charge of learning and development talent, uh, talent development, uh, all those kinds of things. And I, I kinda came to this point where I thought, you know, it seems that corporations are focusing primarily on shareholder value, uh, in sometimes we as corporate executives, we do that to the exclusion of other important stakeholders like our employees or like the planet we live on. Right? And so, so I, uh, I, I kinda had a little existential crisis. Uh, this was several years ago. And so I made the decision to leave my corporate life and to go out and to do something else. Um, so I, I've had some, some fits and starts in different things that I've tried.

Tony:

I tried a little consulting work, but honestly, nobody cared because I really wasn't, I wasn't that differentiated from any other consultant that they could've hired. Uh, and I did a few other things, but one of the things I started doing was I started writing a book and while I was writing the book, I started interviewing people. And as I was interviewing people, uh, I came to believe that the, the, the audio files of the interviews would be highly valuable to people. So that's when I started looking into podcasting and I started the podcast and it's really, the podcast is called social entrepreneur, but it's really about, um, you know, how businesses use the power of business to do social good. So that, that was my, uh, you know, my launch of that. And, you know, today we're heard in over 180 countries. We just passed half a million downloads.

Tony:

Uh, and so, you know, at some level, uh, we've had great success. Right? Yeah. But, but about a year ago, I was really struggling with like the big questions. Right. You know, well, the simple questions, things like, you know, what's the meaning of life, you know, if you've got the answer to that one is a pretty good answer. Right. So, so, um, you know, I, I really had kind of a crisis of the soul in a way where I was just, I was really struggling with what's kind of the point, right? So I, I, I go to sleep, I wake up in the morning, I eat some food to provide calories so I can go out and go for a run and maybe do some work during the day. And whether I do that work or I don't do that work, you know, not a lot of people notice if I, if I produce an episode today or I don't produce an episode today, you know, people, people aren't gonna lose sleep over that.

Tony:

So, uh, it's surprising to me to know that I am not the center of their universe. So, uh, so, you know, at some point, um, you start kind of thinking, what is the point of all this? You know, that, that I,

"Life is not measured by the number of breaths we take but by the moments that take our breath away."

A man killed himself the other day.

Oh, how sad. Did he have a family?

I would usually ask when someone delivered this all too frequent news. But this one was different. This man I knew his name was Jeremy. I am sad to say I didn't know him as well as I would have liked. I was thought he could be a good friend. We belong to the same group that served other men. He was a leader and a great example to all he lifted everyone he met. His smile was infectious. I met his wife at one event. They were a perfect match, handsome with beautiful, happy and healthy. He was a father. I met his son. He had three other kids, but I didn't know that until I saw it on Facebook. He drove a nice truck and he had a boat. He golfed a lot. I knew he did something in construction, but we never talked about it. I would describe him as a man's man. He was present at every event we held except for a recent meeting when he sent his regrets because it was his wife's birthday picture, perfect life, and now he's dead. He always asked everyone how they were doing, and he listened intently while they shared. I don't remember asking him how he was doing. I mean like really asking. It was obvious that he was great. At least I thought so. I don't know what happened or what went through his head to make him think this was a good idea. I suppose. I never will. What I do know is that I didn't ask. I did slap him on the back as he talked about his latest golf trip. We talked at length about the men in his small mastermind group and how they were doing. We talked about all the effort he was putting into pulling everyone out of their isolation. We talked about him taking on bigger leadership role with our men's group, but we never talked about him. I work with dozens of men and I'm a good listener. I asked tough questions that others shy away from. I have made a difference in many lives because I care. I am committed more than ever to be the hand for my brother's reaching through the dark. But with Jeremy, I didn't ask. I'm not trying to say that I could have said something that would have prevented this tragedy, but there are so many of you that I am much closer to that I can make a difference with. And there are those in your life that you can make a difference with. On the flip side, when I ask you how you're doing, like really ask you, please just tell me the truth. I promise to do the same.
