Confronting Fear, Scarcity, and Pressure Tripp and Alyson Lanier
b"Do we have to depend on fear for motivation?\\n\\nCan we learn how to put scarcity and pressure into perspective? \\n\\nAnd how can we learn to forge our own path instead of following the herd? \\n\\nToday, my wife Alyson and I discuss how fear can serve us \\u2014 or work against us. \\n\\nOn many levels we\\u2019re being challenged. For many this challenge is simply a matter of being uncomfortable or bored. Others are experiencing great uncertainty with regards to their professions and financial well-being. And then there are those who are being confronted by mortality itself. \\n\\nWe can get caught up in the collective freak out or we can use this period as a wake up call. It\\u2019s a time to zoom out and reflect. \\n\\nThe men I\\u2019m coaching all around the world are seeing this challenging time as an opportunity. It\\u2019s an opportunity for us to assess our lives and how we\\u2019re choosing to live them. Are our professions and relationships and lifestyle choices aligned with our deepest values? Or does today\\u2019s challenge help us see that it\\u2019s time to course correct? \\n\\nInstead of sleepwalking through life or settling for whatever gets slopped on to our plate, we can use this opportunity to tap into our deep desire. Instead of waiting for the perfect plan or the perfect time or the perfect opportunity, we can shift gears, take smart action, and create alignment with what truly matters today. \\n\\nNo more waiting. No more excuses. \\n\\nMost men won\\u2019t do this. They\\u2019ll dismiss this opportunity. They\\u2019ll let fear get the best of them. They\\u2019ll refuse responsibility. But that doesn\\u2019t mean we have to live like most men. \\n\\nToday\\u2019s conversation was recorded before the Covid-19 virus became the major focus here in the US. Regardless, the core ideas of this discussion still apply when it comes to how we confront fear, scarcity, and pressure in our day-to-day lives. \\n\\nIn this interview:\\nCreating from fear, scarcity, and pressure\\nRat-racing and magical finish lines\\nWhy fear glorifies hustling\\nHow fear serves us and how it makes us weak\\nWe don\\u2019t have to freak ourselves out in order to be successful\\nNothing to prove\\n\\nPlus:\\nDepriving ourselves now in order to get what we want later\\nGet out of dumb goals and create smart goals\\nWhy a pain in the ass is valuable information\\nWhy perfectionism is a defense\\nWhy fixating on ourselves kills peace of mind and meaning\\n\\nYou don't have to settle.
