How can men overcome fear or resistance to change when they're trying to pursue a life they truly want? So the first thing in that question is going to be well, figure out what a life you truly want is. That's going to be the first thing, right? The reason most people don't get what they want is because they don't know what they want. Yeah, it's like the universe asks them what do you want, cody? You go oh, I don't know. Your wish is my command. There you go. You've. The universe asks them what do you want, cody? You go I don't know, your wish is my command? There you go, you've got a bunch of nothingness. That's exactly what you asked for, but the set that you know.
Speaker 1:The second part to that question, I think, is going to be to recognize that every emotion has a physiological equivalent, and we understand that with fear, right. So with fear, what is the physiological equivalent that comes with fear? Well, it's going to be fight or flight. If we're in a state of fear, then fight or flight is the response, and in a marriage situation for sure. But in life in general, if you're in a state of fear in your marriage and you're in a fight or flight situation, which is which of those two is helping your marriage fight, fighting with your wife or husband, or fleeing from them, abandoning them? It's like fear is an incredibly destructive state and it can only produce destruction. And there's a list of emotions. We can start with shame, guilt, apathy, fear, depression, pride. These are all emotions that produce an absolutely negative outcome in your life.
Speaker 1:If you're in a state of fear, if you're in a state of apathy, if you're in a state of depression, if you're in a state of guilt or shame, nothing good is going to happen to you. I can assure you of that. I can assure you of that. But when we go above that line, when you achieve the highest state which the lowest highest state, by the way, is courage We've got courage, willingness, neutrality, joy, peace, love. When you're in these states, genuinely nothing bad can happen to you, only good stuff can happen.
Speaker 1:So the great thing about fear? Well, let me just back that up a second. The first state there is courage. Well, the great thing about fear is that courage is fear with action added to it. So if you're in a state of fear right now, all you have to do is add action to that fear and you are in a state of courage.
Speaker 1:Now, good things are going to happen to you. And when we're in a state of fear, we can are going to happen to you. You know we. And when we're in a state of fear, we can go. One of two ways we can go I'm in a state of fear, I'm going to fear, this is terrible and I'm going to flee or fight. Or you can go, I'm going to. I'm in a state of fear. Wow, what an opportunity, because all I need to do is add action to this fear. And now I'm in a state of courage and again, attraction is behaviorally based. Right, if you right. If you are a man or a woman who's constantly fearful, what are you attracting to you? Very little. If you are a man or a woman that is constantly in a state of courage, what are you attracting to you? Good things.
