By mid-night, I set my alarm at 4 am. That would give 3 hours to work for my own business before getting read to go to the job I hate. I told myself, no matter how I late I went to bed, I had to be up and running at 4 am.

I’m a retired runner due to injury now but I got up to run at 5am no matter what the weather nearly every day for nearly 30 years.

If indeed our brains were responsible for our perceptual blunders — rather than our minds’ lack of proper…

People generally want to justify their actions. Even the so called “bad people” always find a “righteous” cause for their actions. No one wants to be right, we humans unconsciously seek a way to endorse our motives and actions.
Like you I went through the exact same issues when I was younger. It was not until I decided to put myself out there that I was finally out of my head and into reality. Mind you it was not an overnight thing. It took me many years of conditioning, falling on my face as well as embarrassing myself was the only way I actually got over my shyness. Now I…

Ah yes stutterers unite. I never would have thought but my stutter has turned into my biggest strength as it reminds me to slow down. As soon as I start stuttering now instead of getting frustrated I look at why I’m stuttering in the first place and that has done a world of wonders for me. It usually means I’m not taking care of myself and helps me…

Excellent! Most people stop after the first objection that comes up, but if you think outside the box, you can find an answer.
If you don’t know how to think outside the box, a simple Google search that focuses on how others have overcome the obstacle can be the solution.
