How do I get out of my comfort zone? It's gotta be... (The Ego - Part 2)

Image
Happy Wednesday World! Fear is your superego on steroids! Staying within your comfort zone is not a horrible decision, but it is also not the best decision ever. If the CEO of your comfort zone is ruled by Mr. Fear, it's time for a change... We are all told that the EGO is the one messing around with our brain, but somebody  (to be read 99.99999..9 % of bodies) forgot to cross reference their terminology with peer-reviewed scholarly articles. When you hear things like "He's got a big ego!", or "Her ego is making her shut the door on every man she meets!", or "Your ego is getting you in trouble!", plug your ears with your fingers and go "La la... La la la la la la.. La la la!" because the Ego has nothing to do with greed; it is the ID (inborn rhyme talent). The id is the instinct to acquire immediate gratification out of any situation* (Wow! See how I rhymed there ?) The ID is the one to blame for what our generation, a

Happy Friday World Fear is the seed of growth! Wait, what? How can that be possible? How can I grow using my fear, when all I know is that fear implodes, constricts, limits and makes me feel so small and insignificant? Well... We simply need to move away from the narratives and the horror stories of this FEAR TROLL and towards the knowledgeable side of the world. Have I mentioned that knowledge is power? And fear keeps you in your comfort zone? And that knowledge beats fear any day, anytime? Don't give me the philosophical "The more I grow, the less I know" because it ain't gonna fly- not here, not now, not ever! I promise you that if you can't see the connection between fear and growth thus far, by the time this series of articles is finished, it will all make sense.

Happy T hursday World! Complimenting is an art! Compliments are important because they are a way of expressing your opinion without making it all about you; at least it shouldn't be all about you and how YOU  like his hairstyle, and how YOU like her smile and how YOU , YOU , YOU , YOU ... Point made! It is YOU indeed who compliments, yet the content has to be about HER. Sometimes, expressing ones admiration towards another can become frustrating and we end up not saying anything, but... One particular soft spot I have been noticing after interacting with thousands of people in my amazingly awesome career and superbly colorful social life ( so modest this one! ) is how a woman pays a compliment to another woman. Or, better said finding the art of paying SENSE-a-tional compliments without questioning whether you did a good job or the other person thought your admiration was, simply put, fake! Complimenting someone is an art , and, like most other things in life, it ta
