    Transitioning from war to non-war life presented challenges to Stacy Bare that he wasn’t sure he was ready to take on at that point in his life.

    milestonemind.com/journal/episode-57-how-do-we-define-failure - 'Fear of failure' is one of the most common motivators that pervades our professional world today. The deeper and deeper I've gotten into the science of motivation over the past several years, it appears that those who have succeeded at something worthwhile were almost entirely motivated by something other than fear or 'fear of failure,.' And, although many want to replicate these results from the inspirational people we look towards, by and large, we still feel compelled to try to motivate ourselves through fear or 'fear of failure.' This presents us a conundrum. Listen now. #inspiration #science #leadership #leadershipdevelopment #motivational #motivation #mindfulnessSupport the show (https://www.milestonemind.com/donation)

    It was one of the most peaceful moments of my life this Friday, 13-years ago. I've never felt such love and support from the world around me - I got to experience the power of the human spirit and not just my own, but that of other amazing, everyday people. This week, I take some time to reflect about this experience of my brush with death, and share  with you a series of poems I've written that have helped me encapsulate these feeling into words. Although, somewhat somber, the real essence I hope is joy, love and gratitude. Support the show (https://www.milestonemind.com/donation)
