In October 2017 I wrote, title my weekly motivational/inspirational email that reaches thousands of people, "Dig It Out." Part of what I shared, in that email, was: "One of the best ways to prepare for those times of wanting to give up and throw away good ideas is to develop the habit of stretching. Stretching forces you to let go of the comfortable and to live in the realm of the uncomfortable and painful. Stretching prepares you to test your capacity…. Be very careful how you translate what people are telling you. Your biases and history can place a filter on the words of wisdom coming from those who want to help you. The “wise people” may be telling you one thing but the lenses by which you see life can be translating their words into something totally opposite…." I put that entire email in video form for you!
