Thank you 🙏🏼

Thanks Pamela!

I appreciate you @slimwady5500 This is a very interesting question because I, too, am going through a bit of a transformative time in my life. In short, it may be your time to start creating. Here's why I say that. I've learned through this recent experience I'm in that self-help is a lot like a tool belt. There are different strategies and ideas you can take from self-help and add them to your tool belt, but eventually, the belt fills up and you have enough tools to go to work. These tools take you through a phase of your life and you can actually apply those things you've learned. This is the important part of the process that most miss; application. Without application, we rely too heavily on theoretical "what ifs" and trying to control parts of our lives that we just need to dive head first in and experience. I've went through periods of intense study of these different areas of self-help and personal development, but on the other side, I've also went through periods of applying and using what I've learned. There is a way this all works together within your life if you keep one thing constant; keep taking consistent action toward a goal or mission. I'm learning that part of this process is a mix of selfish pursuit that leads to a selfless pursuit. In the early parts of your life, you have the selfish pursuit. You equip yourself with as many tools as you can on the front end to make your personal goals come to fruition. Pursue your goals that give you the opportunity to apply these tools you've acquired. Eventually, you become valuable to others through insight, experience, and wisdom. Then, there comes a point where you have to take those tools and use them to really lean into a selfless mission or a purpose. That may create a situation where you go back into consuming to add the tools needed to fulfill that larger purpose. Then, the cycle repeats as you take those new tools into application again. If you feel stuck, listen to that intuition and go create.

@@NickTShelton fantastic reply mate thank you. I completely agree with the selfish process. I have a limiting belief that is stopping me from pursuing the selfLess endeavour, when in reality I know I have the credentials to help others do what I have done myself. I think you have answered this with your last part, start now, and add more tools as you go, which is exactly what I know I need to do. Time to take action. Thank you brother 👊🏻

Great question. Although men and women do have strengths in complimentary areas, the stoic approach for overthinking works for both. Is it always easy? Definitely not. But, do the best you can by observing the situation from a 3rd person view. Look at it as though you are observing a close friend going through your situation and ask yourself, “if I want what’s best for my friend, how would I advise them in this situation?” It’s given me clarity through some pretty challenging decisions I’ve had to make. Hope that helps.
