- 0:27Speaker 2: Hey, Carrie, this is Robert Ian with conquer Change dot com.
- 0:33Speaker 2: Sometimes we forget about ourselves against this backdrop of negativity
- 0:40Speaker 2: that exists and persists in mainstream and social media, and
- 0:47Speaker 2: that's really a bad thing. Sometimes people become fearful of
- 0:53Speaker 2: moving forward in their lives and with their happiness because
- 0:57Speaker 2: in the back of their mind they say to themselves,
- 1:00Speaker 2: what's the point keeping track of the ongoing, continuous and
- 1:06Speaker 2: often negative changes in things like geopolitics, the economy at large,
- 1:13Speaker 2: who's arguing with whom? And what seems to be a
- 1:18Speaker 2: never ending revolving door of issues In crises that need
- 1:23Speaker 2: to be understood, analyzed, managed, and acted upon can be
- 1:29Speaker 2: overwhelming at best and paralyzing at worst. Right now, we
- 1:36Speaker 2: seem to have an unprecedented epidemic of federal judges acting
- 1:43Speaker 2: as if they were somehow elected to either the executive
- 1:49Speaker 2: or legislative branches of our government. Censorship issues haven't really
- 1:55Speaker 2: gone away, especially in many foreign locations where ideas, points
- 2:02Speaker 2: of view, and oftentimes basic everyday discussions and disagreements are criminalized,
- 2:11Speaker 2: pressuring and intimidating people to self censor their own thought process.
- 2:19Speaker 2: Inflation remains out of control and is getting worse, despite
- 2:25Speaker 2: what the current administration is saying. Yes, some energy costs
- 2:30Speaker 2: are coming down and that's terrific, but healthcare remains obscenely expensive.
- 2:37Speaker 2: Housing prices are in the stratosphere, interest rates are high,
- 2:43Speaker 2: very high relative to home prices, and the eight hundred
- 2:47Speaker 2: pound gorilla in the room. People's wages wages have never
- 2:53Speaker 2: kept up with any of the masked and hidden inflation
- 2:58Speaker 2: that we've endured for or at least the last thirty
- 3:02Speaker 2: years and longer since the famous or rather infamous Boskin
- 3:09Speaker 2: Commission report in nineteen ninety six, which formalized the gutting
- 3:17Speaker 2: of the American dream and any kind of meaningful and
- 3:22Speaker 2: consistent standard of living measurement, which sadly was praised and
- 3:28Speaker 2: supported by supposed thought leaders at that time, including Newt
- 3:33Speaker 2: Gingrich and good old Sir Alan Greenspan. The backs of
- 3:40Speaker 2: countless small businesses were broken during the pandemic response, as
- 3:46Speaker 2: social habits and buying patterns that took decades to establish
- 3:51Speaker 2: were shattered and scattered in a very short period of time,
- 3:57Speaker 2: never to be reclaimed or reassemble. The list goes on
- 4:02Speaker 2: with example after example. Sorting it all out and keeping
- 4:08Speaker 2: track of it all can often turn into a second,
- 4:12Speaker 2: full time and unpaid job. If one isn't careful, it
- 4:18Speaker 2: can be easy to get caught up in multiple feedback
- 4:22Speaker 2: loops of negative information that don't seem to have any
- 4:28Speaker 2: resolution other than, oh, let's wait for the next election,
- 4:35Speaker 2: let's get to this person or that person in office
- 4:38Speaker 2: and then things will be better, or any other such nonsense,
- 4:43Speaker 2: excuse or delay tactic other than actually getting on with
- 4:49Speaker 2: one's likes and being both real and living in the moment.
- 4:57Speaker 2: But unfortunately, something keeps getting in the way. That something
- 5:04Speaker 2: is fear. Don't ever forget that fear is nothing more
- 5:10Speaker 2: than false evidence appearing real. Fear is a psychological bluff
- 5:19Speaker 2: that steers us toward inaction and confusion. The danger is
- 5:26Speaker 2: that a confused mind does nothing, So how do we
- 5:32Speaker 2: overcome that?
- 5:35Speaker 1: Feel?
- 5:35Speaker 2: The fear and do it anyway. Get on with your life,
- 5:41Speaker 2: make the call, take the action, try new things, have
- 5:48Speaker 2: the difficult conversation. Stop getting ready to get ready, because
- 5:57Speaker 2: fear kills more dreams then failure ever will. If you
- 6:04Speaker 2: believe you can do something, you're already halfway there, because
- 6:10Speaker 2: a year from now you're going to wish you had
- 6:14Speaker 2: started today. By the time takes no prisoners, we're all
- 6:21Speaker 2: going to pass. It's just a question of when. We've
- 6:27Speaker 2: all had challenges, we've all had setbacks, we've all made mistakes.
- 6:34Speaker 2: The real question today and every day is what are
- 6:39Speaker 2: you going to do about it? Now? As in right
- 6:45Speaker 2: now and until next time. This is Robert Ian with
