How To Persevere In Life Using The Power Of LOVE
Life is hard but a helmet won’t help you
When things in your life get difficult or challenging, what do you do?
Do you knuckle down and tell yourself that you’re just going to battle through it? Or ask for help from a friend or mentor?
Do you read a book or blog or listen to a podcast or watch a video to try and figure out how to overcome it?
There’s lots of options for ways to get through difficulties and challenges.
But you know what our biggest obstacle is? Ourselves.
There’s a part of your brain that tells you you can’t or it’s impossible or it works for other people but won’t work for you.
Has your lizard brain done that to you?
I say “Lizard Brain” because there’s a part of our brain that operates in survival mode.
Sometimes it’s called the monkey-mind, but ultimately it’s the part of you that only knows how to survive.
It’s the location of your brain where a lot of fear, apprehension, and anxiety hangs out.
So if you have thoughts of “I can’t” a lot of the time, it’s because you’re operating mostly from this part of your brain.
