Mind Bullet Monday: Skeh-Wee » The Habit Mastery Workshop
“Courage is the mother of all virtues because, without it, you cannot consistently practice any other virtue.” ~Aristotle”
We’ve approached this topic from seemingly every angle possible…
Time for one more.
Skew-Wee.
AlfredAI and I—at your service.
Most of what’s scary is risky.
Most of what’s risky is necessary for personal growth.
As Jim Rohn put it:
“It’s all risky. The moment you were born, it got risky. Getting married is risky. Having kids is risky. I’ll tell you how risky life is, you’re not going to get out alive!”
Public speaking? Skew-Wee.
Posting an article or podcast episode? Skew-Wee.
Publishing a book? Skew-Wee.
One more time: “Courage is the mother of all virtues.”
There’s another way to say this, but we’re not going there.
How do you develop the virtue of courage?
Anyone?
The same way you develop any habit—intentional practice.
Just ask our hero, Ben Franklin. (From H2G, Season 2)
What About Real Danger?
Risk shouldn’t be an excuse for recklessness.
Calculated courage versus blind fear… but what is calculated courage?
Determining the value of the desired outcome
Understanding the driving why behind the desire
Knowing the difference between probable, improbable, and impossible
Recognizing the real risk—“Right View”
This is where (borrowed once again from The Pressure Paradox™) The 3 P’s come into play.
Since we can’t escape pressure forever—only temporarily—we’d better learn to handle it.
What are the 3 P’s?
Plan – Understand the challenge, study the terrain, and define the ideal outcome.
Prepare – Gather the necessary resources—money, time, people, skills, etc.—based on the challenge. The greater the area, the more it reduces force and, in turn, pressure (P = F/A).
Practice – Simulate the experience to build c
Pressure is mitigated by preparation.
The more intense the pressure, the greater the demand to Plan, Prepare, and Practice.
Need proof?
Look no further than the U.S. military—Exhibit #1.
All they do is PLAN, PREPARE, and PRACTICE—24/7, 365.
What if fear is a compass?
“You gain strength, courage and confidence by every experience in which you really stop to look fear in the face. You are able to say to yourself, 'I have lived through this horror. I can take the next thing that comes along.' You must do the thing you think you cannot do.” ~Eleanor Roosevelt
The bigger the fear, the bigger the opportunity.
Does fear stop you—or show you the way?
Only you can decide.
The one thing we know for sure?
Stepping beyond your comfort zone is always “skew-wee.”
