On this episode of The Wednesday Call podcast, your host Andy Albright wanted to talk to you about FEAR, IGNORANCE and the power it holds in terms of how you react to it.
Andy opened the show by letting you know there is still time to qualify for the Ring Of Champions trip next year by hitting agency manager. Also, there is plenty of time for you to earn you trip to Hawaii with The Alliance in 2018!
In August, The Alliance donated more than $15,000 to charities and non-profit organizations. The final number for September is expected to be higher than that and initial October numbers are helping The Alliance move closer to $300,000 in donations to charities through the GSB program.
Are you able to forget everything when you are faced with adversity and rise about it? Do you prioritize your fears? Do you rank them?
It is possible to conquer fears. You have to work at it, but it is possible. When you are able to move your heart then your body will follow. When you can get the heart, then your head will follow. You need to get both.
Perspective
Perspective is the only thing consistently more valuable than the answer. I get fired up about it. You’ve likely tried shrimp, but have you had “bang-bang” shrimp? Perspective changes how you see things.
The only thing that is consistently more valuable than the truth is perspective. You need to develop the power of perspective. You, alone, get to pick your perspective. As crazy as the world gets, you have control over your perspective. A positive perspective equals a guaranteed win. A positive perspective will change everything. It is power. It is control. You are in control when you control your perspective. It belongs to you and nobody else. You own it. No one can push it, change it or diminish it.
How to win? Forget the naysayers. Forget the naggers. They can’t hold you down. They can’t tell you that you are dumb to be optimistic. You decide how you view everything. Remember, one man’s end of the road is another’s man’s beginning. Your perception is your reality.
When something bad happens, you need to move. Don’t stop!
Perception is how we perceive the world. Perspective is about deciding how those things pertain to your future. Perception is “what is.” Perspective is your ability to direct what happens after IT has happened.
Your worst flaw may be what saves your life one day. It’s all about perspective. When my perception limits my future, I can’t grow into the person I am capable of, or reach my real goals and dreams.
When people sit down and collapse or do nothing for large amounts of time, that’s not good. When the perceived worst thing happens, get up and shake it off! Smile, say “shoot” and keep moving. Add it to the list of things you’ve experienced and learn a lesson from it.
If you don’t have perspective, you are likely to make a decision too quickly based on your perception of things. People who stay in “crisis mode” need a change in perspective and perception.
Perception is how one perceives the fact to be. What are the facts at this moment as you perceive it? Perspective has to do with you deciding what the facts mean, not what they really are. Perspective concerns our ability to direct what happens from the facts part moving forward. Do not allow your perception to limit your future.
Your greatest enemy is fear. The only thing you need to fear is fear itself. Fear is an emotion not a fact. You are the author of your reality.
In your life, every great success will be the result of being persistent. Decide what you want to push through. There will be obstacles and problems. Don’t quit, don’t sit and don’t stop!
Your greatest challenge will be the conquest of fear and your development of habits of courage. Winston Churchill said, “courage is the foremost of virtues.”
He also said, “Never, never quit!” Don’t give up!
