They Fear This

They Fear This   When we think of fear, we think of people showing physical symptoms. They look and sound afraid, worried, and frightened. However, fear shows up in other ways also. Comments, questioning, doubting, and resistance can also be signs of fear. Fear that you can do something they can’t fear your dedication and commitment will make them look lazy, weak, inferior, or a failure.

If you’re looking for cheesy leadership, business and development advice, watch a TED talk. Because that’s not how we roll.     Normal or Average?   Are you cool with being referred to as normal? Are you cool with being referred to as Average? Why? We think of normal as being acceptable. However, we think of average as being mediocre. Yet, it’s normal to have an average income. It’s normal to weigh an average weight or be an average height. The truth is that normal and average concerning work, physical appearance, and life in general mean the same thing. It’s normal to have a job, be married, and have a dad bod. They are all average middle-aged characteristics. Having your own business and hitting the gym every day is not normal. Business owners don’t earn an average income, and people who workout daily don’t have dad bods. Therefore, people who decide to set up their own businesses and build strong or fit bodies must be considered abnormal.   Rare Value   Another word we could use to describe normal is popular, and another word we could use to describe popular is common. Things that are normal, popular, and common are not considered rare.
