Coach With Courage

by David Parke

“I have not failed. I’ve just found 10,000 ways that won’t work.”

Train your brain on what to focus on, what to interpret as important. We can’t feel equal courage and confidence in all areas of our life Fear only becomes an opponent when it becomes our focus. “…become afraid of earthquakes, tall buildings, desks, and donuts.” It’s as if the brain uses hashtags to group things - all these things might be #earthquake to the brain because of the simultaneity of occurrence.

become afraid of earthquakes, tall buildings, desks and donuts.

When we project ourselves into the future and imagine that something bad will happen our brain can’t quite determine if the event is happening now or not and it really doesn’t care.
