Tony Robbins taught me that the quality of one’s life is inversely proportional to the amount of certainty that he requires. If you require certainty, based on the amount that’s in an account in other to love your spouse, you will experience pain. For it is not certainty that facilitates love, it is love that facilitates certainty. Value love over certainty, for happiness in your relationship.

To be Free, means to be able to choose one’s responses regardless of the circumstances. You cannot change the circumstances but you can control your response. You can control how you spend your time, what you put into your body, and the extent to which external environment, the weather, the economy, other people affect how you feel.

Liberty vs. Freedom? Physical vs. emotional bondage. Liberty and freedom, though often used interchangeably, are not the same. Liberty is a function of the external. And freedom, the internal. And though few, today, live in physical the bondage of slavery, many are not truly free. Freedom! Is the ability to choose one’s response and attitude in any circumstance. To limit negative disempowering emotions, bad habits, excuses, a dependency on social media, and physical vices, makes one free. In chess, as in life, utilize your freedom to respond, rather than react to situations, to achieve your goals.

Here be Dragons (hic sunt dracones)! Sounds scary. And it would be, if it were true. But it’s not. Medieval maps, depicted dragons living beyond the mapped territory, and informed the explorer “here be dragons.” Yet there were those, then, as there are now, who did NOT assume that dragons dwelled in the unknown. Rather, there might be new opportunities, discoveries, progress. Woe unto thee who lives her life traveling up and down the coast of life, never sailing beyond, to the unknown, due to fear of uncertainty, “failure” and a poor self-image. In the unknown, you could find greatness. Philosopherdoc.com #adamnmilmanmd #overcomingadversity
Passover, and the Unfortunate Pain That Often Comes with Uncertainty, vs. the Potential and Possibility for Prosperity, Despite Uncertainty. Slavery vs. Freedom? What say you? Certainty vs. Uncertainty? The Known vs. the Unknown? Many will choose certainty, even if it means pain, and lack of fulfillment rather than uncertainty, even if there is a possibility for success, prosperity, and happiness. Up to 80% of the Nation of Israel, held in bondage in Egypt, we are told chose NOT to leave, to risk the uncertainty of what freedom might bring. What change are you, right now, incapable of making, because you will lose the certainty we all crave? And how are you simultaneously being hurt by not making the change?

Use Decisive Internal Disputation to Determine Your Better Destiny. Do not allow the poisonous seeds which have been planted in the fertile soil of your mind, which sprout poisonous ideas overtake the garden of your mind. Or disrupt the “bar,” which can be likened to our brains. Too many weeds in the garden will destroy the garden. And too many disruptive patrons in the bar, will ruin the overall experience in the bar. Disputation, the practice of refuting the negative thoughts, pessimism, cynicism, and criticism that lurk within us, gives you domain over the sanctity of your own mind where your success and happiness, begin.

Am I Achieving My Potential? William James’s essay Vital Reserve tells up what we have available is what we too often fail to utilize and maximize. Great reservoirs of potential lay within each of us. We must realize this, before we can access it. Philosopherdoc.com #adamnmilmanmd #williamjames #vitalreserve #potential #overcomingadversity
Grasshoppers, Spies, Self-image, and Your Success. How you see yourself is the foundation for your future success. How you see yourself affects how you think others see you. A negative self image will cause you to think others see you in a similar way. The Spies in the Book of Numbers saw themselves as grasshoppers in their eyes and believed their enemies saw them also as grasshoppers without having any basis for this belief. Let us not make the same mistake. To presume that we know the opinions of others, based on our own negative self talk. And let us reshape the negative self image that we might have allowed to shaped for us rather than by us. Start now. Philosopherdoc.com #adamnmilmanmd #overcomingadversity #selfimage #thespies
Distraction and Disputation. Your Brain is YOUR "Bar" and YOU are The Bouncer. The security which prevents negative thoughts, ruminations, self criticism and cynicism from taking hold and ruining the atmosphere, for everyone. Just because thoughts seem to appear, from nothingness in your mind, does not mean these thoughts serve you or your future. Just as a drunk can ruin all of the patrons' experience, so too negative thoughts can spread, adversely effecting the mood, and the ambience of your mind. Banish them from your mind, and forbid their return. Philosopherdoc.com #adamnmilmanmd #overcomingadversity #martinseligman #earlnightingale #strangestsecret #abcd
