I sat down with @Daniel Halls, an ER nurse who helps leaders and community builders develop real Emotional Intelligence—not the buzzword version. We talked about how emotional awareness affects decision-making, leadership, and consistency when pressure is high. If you’re building anything that involves people (which is all of us), this one will land. ▶️ Watch here: https://youtu.be/MZi0qKiXAyU?si=Ay7O_I3ZrfZjhehv

Today's quote from the book: “Self-sabotage often masquerades as logic or humility, but its real motivation is fear.” Doing What You Know, Chapter 6, p. 93 This is why it feels so convincing. It doesn’t show up as panic. It shows up as a “smart reason” to wait. A “responsible” excuse to delay. A “humble” way to stay small. And because it sounds reasonable, you don’t fight it. You agree with it. The shift happens when you stop debating the story and start noticing what it’s protecting you from. Fear loves disguises. Clarity unmasks it. Write the most believable excuse you’ve been using lately. Under it, write the fear it’s protecting. Then take one 5-minute action anyway.

When you grow personally, the past is the past, & your mindset should be focused on the future! How do you feel about this quote?

When everything feels like an uphill struggle, just think of the view from the top!

I understand and appreciate what you say about small reps and keeping the reps tiny, but honestly with all the tiny reps I'm trying to make from one community to the next - I'm no longer enjoying the journey. I'm feeling pressured and pushed - and I feel that my condition or reasons why I had to resign from my job months ago has been forgotten - a lack of empathy has kind of leaked in. I do what I can. But I'm slowly losing interest and the desire to continue at this point. I just won't keep pushing myself to the point where I'll get sick again. I won't do it.
