Picket fence mentality?
“The World Class is comfortable being uncomfortable.” – Steve Siebold
"Anytime you attempt to do something new or different, the amygdala raises its protective, prehistoric armor in order to shield you from potential harm."
Who wants to be uncomfortable?
Really?
Anytime you attempt to do something new or different, the amygdala raises its protective, prehistoric armor in order to shield you from potential harm.
You must resist this and push forward as long as there is no real imminent danger to you or anyone else.
It will always feel uncomfortable when you try to either eradicate or move your picket fence boundaries in your life.
In order to create greater confidence with change, we need to dismantle the picket fence mentality.
Many beautiful people have a picket fence mentality. They absolutely know where their boundaries are located.
There are generally four solid corner posts that maintain their fence brilliantly.
These are fear, security, image and purpose.
Don’t even think about moving their fence as this causes incredible stress and frustration in their lives.
They are going nowhere fast but it feels comfortable.
Conversely, the world class learns how to be comfortable being uncomfortable.
Mental toughness assists with this process.
If you are currently uncomfortable, you are on the right track.
Ensure you get a copy of Steve Siebold’s 177 Mental Toughness Secrets of the World Class.
So, how do you get comfortable being uncomfortable?
Here we go.
“Two things define you: Your patience when you have nothing and your attitude when you have everything.” - George Bernard Shaw
Today almost everyone wants what he or she wants yesterday.
Patience appears to be a lost virtue.
In fact, hardly anyone wants to wait for anything.
However, waiting creates the psychological stamina to withstand most of the twenty-first century storms.
Thomas A. Edison was an expert when it came to waiting. He made more than 1,000 unsuccessful attempts at inventing the light bulb.
Most people would have packed up their suitcase.
So, how many times do you take a stab at something before you give up?
Remember some of these people?
Alan Rickman, Stan Lee, Bob Ross, Samuel L. Jackson, Morgan Freeman and others. Look them up and see how they waited.
If waiting is your game just know that you are in awesome company.
So being comfortable being uncomfortable might mean that you are on fire with your goals and aspirations most of the time.
Embrace the journey and reject middle of the road mentality, easy, directionless activity, impatience, and ordinary, rash, tentative, yielding and intolerance where circumstances always rule your behavior.
Easy?
Not in your life!
“After all the cheers have died down and the stadium is empty, after the headlines have been written, and after you are back in the quiet of your room and the championship ring has been placed on the dresser and after all the pomp and fanfare have faded, the enduring thing that is left is the dedication to doing with our lives the very best we can to make the world a better place in which to live.” - Vince Lombardi
Sounds like Vince Lombardi was an incredible F. I. R. E. individual that led and inspired people all over.
This acronym wasn’t even invented when Vince Lombardi was alive, as I hadn’t written the book yet.

F. I. R. E. people want more. These people are fantastically, inspired, raw, energy people.
They are always aiming and stretching for something that they know that they can’t hit with 100% certainty. They believe in themselves beyond present circumstances and are unwilling to quit.
They’re open to new ideas even though they appear to be out of their comfort zone, vividly imagining the end result with such a clear picture before it even comes to fruition.
They continually exceed their expectations with piranha like determination that leads to unparalleled success.
Yes.
They go out and claim what is rightfully theirs without violating the rights of any other human being.
They understand that obstacles can’t stop them.
Problems can’t stop them.
Other people can’t stop them.
The only one that can stop them is themselves so they get out of their way and make it happen.
Carpe Momentum.

It Only Took One Minute.......
It only took a minute. I was sitting at the computer in my office when the phone rang. I picked up the receiver and then laid it down my desk as I went to find the student who the call was for. Within seconds I was back at my desk, ready to resume typing, when I heard the student yelling obscenities at me for listening in to his call through the handset that was still lying on the desk. Sick and tired of the lies he was spewing, I was up running down the hall, ready to kill him. By the time I reached him, I had calmed enough not to hurt him, but as I turned back towards my room, I knew that I couldn’t go on like this any longer. The decision was clear. I had to leave.

Momma and Me
I wasn't always this young fine thing I am today. No Thomasina was a Daddy girl. I used to love Daddy holding me and reading to me. I loved story time. Dad had a way of making me feel special. We would laugh always together. And he was the one that I did not want to disappoint. Dad was my everything. And Mom was what I wanted to grow up being like. Yeah the world was perfect at one time. And everything was in the right position. I had friends ooh child good friends. Friends that you can make good conversation with it. Friends you can play with where Momma and Dad would not be so concerned. And these friends lasted me all the way up to college. We were off and on. Because Dad was my hero and my greatest friend. He would tell me what the world thinks of me. He would tell me how better I am if i used my brain. In fact Dad's character is what I would like in a man. I want a man like Dad. Momma helped me too. She would tell me what looks good on me and we would have fun just picking out dresses. She would teach me the basics of cooking. And I was a worse cook till they taught me in school. But Momma never gave up on me. She would keep me in the kitchen during Summer and Holidays learning how to cook. Sometimes I would asked Daddy if she was torturing me. And he would say that your mother believes in you and cares for you. And finally I got the basics of cooking and I am soo glad Momma believed because if she did not then I would be mess up in college. Ohh college is fun. I liked learning history and that is where I met Robert. Robert is smooth and handsome. He is classy and smart. In the middle of college that's when I decided my family should meet him but Momma said Daddy can't go out much and has a little sickness. And so I told Robert but Robert felt that he was avoiding him and Robert got a little angry with the excuses because he set his eyes on marrying me. So I had to keep making excuses. Then Robert got mad and he made me tell the truth. Because I did not want to breakup with Robert but I told him. I said my father has been sick for a long time. And his wishes are for me to graduate. Robert got so angry that he called off our friendship. And so to avoid Robert I took a break from school and went home to help Momma with Dad. Dad was easy-going. He was happy with the help. He would remind me of yesterday. He would love for me to make his meals. He would love for me to hug him and kiss his forehead. Dad was charming and gentle. And after some weeks that turned into months, Dad when he got better would asked where is my man. Where is Robert? And I started to cry while taking care of Dad so loud that Momma heard me and took over. Momma said that's not what your father need sadness after overcoming pneumonia four times. Girl stop crying for I kick you out. Just tell the truth and stop hiding like you did when you were young. So I straighten up and said I kept holding him off. I kept withholding family stuff. And he left me. Dad said Do you love him. I said Yes. Then he said go find him. I am fine with your mother. Go find your love Beloved. I said Okay Daddy. So I packed up and left in the morning from my parents' house. I called all my friends and re-registered with college. It took weeks and weeks then I went with my friends into this Jazz Club. And the girls wanted to surprised me and I could swear that Robert was performing in this group. After the performance my friends must have been drunk and asked for the Fever Song as we sat close to the front. Robert was the lead singer. And he took off his jacket and tie while he sang fever. And just before the end he asked me my name after he kiss my cheeks and forehead. And he took off one of his rings asking me to marry him and I said yes. And that was the biggest kiss I ever got. I called Dad and Momma in the morning because I got my man. But Momma calmed me down and said Daddy died. And after getting home with Robert after our quick marriage. I took Momma in. Momma used to have nightmares about Daddy. And she would wake up and dream of her parents. After sometime, Robert insisted that Momma be put in a home, where I could visit her. But I refused, I told him that I promised Daddy that I would take good care of her. And so we hired a nurse to look after Momma and I was pregnant. After I gave birth, Momma was bedridden. And she could only look at the baby, I said Momma it's a girl and she is named after you and me Joan Thomasina. Momma smiled and drifted to sleep. And Momma never woke from that sleep. Momma's death was worse than Dad's because I knew my father well really well. And he loved mother taking care of him. Now that I got a daughter I have to moved ahead but I will never forget my mother as Dad would have wanted.
