Show Notes

Right now, there are just so many things that we cant control. We cant control the gas price roller coaster we are on. We cant control how other people treat us. But what we can control is how we are reacting to it all. And that doesn't mean being passive and rolling over and just giving up. My nickname was feisty growing up after all. ;)

For me, that means its all about the ego. Normally, there should be a healthy dance that we do with our ego. It help gives us confidence when we are trying new things. And it would be pointing us in the right direction of things we are passionate about.

But when it is out of balance, it can be an ugly and messy thing. That normally looks like the areas that you holding on tight to something that your powerless in. A job. A belief. A ideal version of our self.

Instead of getting stuck in this messy and not helpful area. I like to use trigger to wake us up when we are out of balance. Sometimes its the intense emotion that we are experiencing around the trigger. Anger, frustration and fear are normally the most common ones. Other times it's a friend or family member that is checking us before we wreck our selves.

This happens when we loose sight of the big picture. We get over whelmed and distracted with all the minutia that doesn't matter. Instead of re-enter and get back to all roads leads too..... Staying the course is a muscle that we are constantly building. Its there to keep us on track to achieve the goals, dreams and desires that matter to us. Not chasing some petty vendetta or dying over a hill that doesn't matter.
