Change your meaning of fear from "Forget Everything And Run" to "Face Everything And Rise." The choice is yours. 

The lessons we learn from our failures only continues to build us. Taking fear and dealing with it is such a strong way to overcome hardships and to move forward in the direction of success you're looking to undergo. Take fear, and use it as the stepping stone. Jump, and build and the ground to land on.

This episode hits home for producer Ralph Lucchese. The script gets flipped and Randy turns to Ralph and asks him some interview questions that allows him to open up.

What are your hopes and dreams for the future? What are you afraid of? Questions like these we tend to ask ourselves, but we never say it out loud. It almost appears to be blasphemous. When was the last time you asked someone you cared about what their hopes and dreams for the future were?

Everyone rationalizes their own existence. 

With that, it comes easy to look at the surface of someone else's life and say things like "it must be nice to...." or "wow they are so lucky." When you compare your progress to someone else's, you're placing limits on yourself. Comparing yourself to others is a battle you'll never win. Jordan Peterson says it best: "Compare yourself to who you were yesterday, no to who someone else is today."

Here's a question: Is it better to be liked or loved? Here's another: Is liking someone stronger than loving someone?

Liking someone versus loving someone might come as a shock to most. You can love someone, but not necessarily like them. A lot of times, when people fall in 'love' with someone, they fall in love with the positive, the clean, and the pure, and tend to not recognize any negatives. As time goes on, and the negatives begin to bubble to the surface, the term "I'm falling out of love with you" tends to be a common statement. Liking someone is a crucial part in a relationship and I would argue that liking, in some instances, is stronger than loving.

The question we are always faced with in life is simple: What do we need to do in order to be content in life? Mark Mason says "We all need stability and we need change. We need freedom and we need commitment. We need our individuality and we need to conform." How true is that?

This is the paradox. Some of the most important truths in life are contradictory. If you want to be trusted by others, you need to trust others. The more you fail, the more likely you are to succeed. We are constantly challenging ourselves daily and strive to become the best 'us' we can be. One paradox that stands out the most during our journey is this: The more you learn, the more you realize how little you know.

It's important to realize and acknowledge the good that you already have in your life. There is ALWAYS something to be thankful for. Take time to be thankful for everything that you have. You can always have more, but you could also have less. Gratitude makes sense of our past, brings peace for today, and ultimately creates a vision for tomorrow; so this week let's focus on the good, the clean, the positive, and the pure as we enter into the Thanksgiving Holiday. Let's be grateful to be surrounded with those we love and care about.

What would you consider more important: Hip or Earnest?

Earnest comes from the core, whereas being 'hip' is all about trying to impress from the surface. An earnest person is an honest person. They act and talk according to their thoughts. With this, they often put themselves at the risk of being laughed at (that's the price of authenticity). Hip on the other hand, tend to follow the fad or what's trendy. It's extremely short-term and eventually, it has an end. Randy Paush explains it perfectly; "I'll take an earnest person over a hip person every time, because hip is short-term. Earnest is long-term."

A powerful conversation on the value change brings to you when choosing to take the leap. Progress is impossible without change, and those who cannot change their minds cannot change anything. I'm sure you've all heard it before: "Change begins at the end of your comfort zone." We cannot become what we want by remaining what we are. We must be willing to change and discover the new opportunities that await after the decision to change. When it comes to change, the only thing that's ever changed the world, was one person. Be the next change.
