It's important to allow your own emotions to happen. Be aware but look inside and think about how you can deal with it yourself. —Reese EvansAs entrepreneurs, we need to think about the current problems and how we can solve them. You can actually see yourself thrive, maybe even more than before. —Reese EvansWhen there's a roadblock, I ask myself, "How do I want things to be instead?" What if I turn this lemon into lemonade? —Reese EvansYou are not your thoughts, you're the thinker of your thoughts. —Reese EvansMost of the time, if we don't have what we want, it's not because the opportunity isn't there, it's because we are resisting it. —Reese EvansIf you want to change your behavior, you need to do so on a subconscious level. —Reese EvansIf you want to make a habit stick, you need to see yourself as that person in your identity. —Reese EvansIf you're struggling, realize that this can help you in your problem-solving and more. Use it as a stepping stool to get to where you want to be. It's about creating a shift in perspective. —Reese Evans

Reese's final thoughts: Allow yourself to play, be creative, and take baby steps to live the life you want. Don't put pressure on yourself, just give yourself permission versus waiting for it.

Show Highlights:

No part of being human is to be despised, feared, or pushed away. You have to grab on to the totality of human life and say this part I'll keep, this part I'll discard. —Brad Lemley Most of the good things in the world have happened because people let their emotions propel them. —Brad LemleyBeing open and available through your emotional life is one of the most important things a human can do. —Brad LemleyWe are aggregations of people and you need to respect all the sub-personalities that you are. —Brad LemleyIt's the formidable people in the world who make things happen. —Brad LemleyI think if people can take fear, embrace it, understand it, and take the energy from it, they'll become the type of people to make the world better. —Brad LemleyWhen people lead stress-free lives, they become psychologically delicate, which is not good. —Brad Lemley

Brad's final thoughts: Keep letting it in. Let the information in and your emotions in. If you allow yourself to entertain the totality of yourself as a human being, you won't feel it all the time. You become stronger because you've done that.
