The risk are great, but the rewards could be so much greater, and that is a quote of the day.

Welcome back to the quote of the day show. I'm your host Sean Crox and the Sean Crox and

dot com. Today's episode is brought to you by the Jurf Bar. Clean, eating, never tastes

it so good available over at Jurf Bar dot com. Today's feature speaker is Debbie Silver.

This this talk, I think you should listen to several times because the message and the

information is so important because she's talking about self sabotage, something that

we do to ourselves all of the time over and over and over again. We set the resolution,

we set the goal, we decide on the big project, and then we get started, and then we stop,

and then we start again, and then we stop, and then we start again, and then we somehow forget

about it. And the here's the thing about it, what we need to understand is that these feelings

that we have, when we make a decision about creating something new in our lives, the feeling of

insecurity, of unsafety, of fear, these are all perfectly normal. So when you feel it, it doesn't

mean that there's something wrong with you. That's what we tend to do. We say, oh, I started that

and I tried and it didn't work out because I was feeling this way, it just didn't feel right,

and that's just what happens. And we attribute that again to be something being wrong with us,

nothing is wrong with you. It happens to everybody. It's a trip. I've been reading this book,

called Your Brain and Business by Dr. Serini Palais. He's the man. And he says that these feelings of

cognitive dissonance, this revolt by the ego and the brain because the ego loves the status quo.

The ego does not like to change because the ego always thinks it's right. It always wants to be

comfortable. And so when you say, hey, we're going to make a change, the ego goes, no, no, no, no,

because if we change, it's going to be the death of me. The ego doesn't understand that,

it's not really a death, it's a rebirth, right? You're becoming a better, stronger version of yourself.
