Podcasts about Hesitation

Episode 381 reframes Napoleon Hill's Think and Grow Rich for sales professionals, reviewing Chapters 1–3 to show how thought, desire, and faith create predictable sales results. Andrea Samadi connects these timeless principles to practical steps—how to set burning goals, build unwavering belief through repetition, and transfer certainty to buyers. Listeners will get actionable frameworks (a five-step belief plan and the six steps to impress desire) and a clear roadmap for aligning mindset with sales execution, plus a preview of the next episode continuing the series. Welcome back to our final series of SEASON 14 of The Neuroscience Meets Social and Emotional Learning Podcast, where we connect the science-based evidence behind social and emotional learning and emotional intelligence training for improved well-being, achievement, productivity and results—using what I saw as the missing link (since we weren't taught this when we were growing up in school), the application of practical neuroscience. I'm Andrea Samadi, and seven years ago, launched this podcast with a question I had never truly asked myself before: (and that is) If productivity and results matter to us—and they do now more than ever—how exactly are we using our brain to make them happen? Most of us were never taught how to apply neuroscience to improve productivity, results, or well-being. About a decade ago, I became fascinated by the mind-brain-results connection—and how science can be applied to our everyday lives. That's why I've made it my mission to bring you the world's top experts—so together, we can explore the intersection of science and social-emotional learning. We'll break down complex ideas and turn them into practical strategies we can use every day for predictable, science-backed results. Connecting Back to Our 6-Part Think and Grow Rich Series (2022) For today's EP 381, we are connecting back to our 6-PART Series from 2022[i], where we covered the well-known book, Think and Grow Rich by Napoleon Hill, to make 2022 our best year ever. Today we will cover: ✔ Chapter 1: The Power of Thought: A 5 STEP Plan to Improve Sales (Outer World) by Improving Your Thoughts (Inner World) ✔ Chapter 2: Desire With a 6 STEP Plan to Achieve ANY Goal ✔ Chapter 3: Faith With 3 Ways to Build Unwavering Faith That Will Change Your Life Back in 2022, we didn't just read Think and Grow Rich—we lived inside it as we launched 2022. Over a 6-part podcast series that began the beginning of January 2022, we walked through this book chapter by chapter, not as theory, but as a personal operating system for growth, performance, and results. This series will always be special for me, as I had heard that my mentor, who inspired me to study this book, Bob Proctor, became ill while I was writing the last episode in the series PART 6. He passed away before it was released, and I'll always remember this episode series, connected to the many people, globally, that he inspired through his work. At the time, the focus of our 6 PART Series was broad. We covered: Personal development Mindset mastery Vision, purpose, and belief We covered the BASICS of this book that Bob Proctor studied for his entire lifetime (over 50 years) that can be applied to whatever it is that you want to create with your life. Today, we are going to look at this timeless piece of knowledge, through a new lens. What we're covering today—Think and Grow Rich for Sales—is not new material. It's the application of this series, towards a specific discipline. You could apply this book to any discipline, but this one, I have wanted to cover for a very long time. How the 6-Part Series Maps DIRECTLY to Sales Mastery Here's the reframe that matters: Every principle we covered in 2022 becomes a sales advantage when applied correctly. In order for me to have gained this understanding, I have to give credit, where credit is due here. I would not have been able to cover our 2022 series without following Paul Martinelli's yearly reviews[ii] of this timeless Think and Grow Rich book that I started to follow in 2019, and continued every year until 2025 when he covered popular Science of Getting Rich book. It was through Paul's explanations, and line by line interpretations, that I finally began to not only READ this book, (from start to finish) but started to INTEGRATE the concepts into my life. I highly encourage following his work, as he continues to host many free webinars, where he gives away knowledge, with no pressure at all to purchase anything from him. I know why he does these webinars. It's not only to help others, but something magical happens when you give back to others, without expecting anything in return. When we covered this 6 PART series, back in 2022, TEACHING these concepts, it took me to another level of understanding, where I realized that this book is not meant to be read just once, but read over and over again, every year, as we all work on whatever it is we are working on, or want to master. This is a living, breathing body of knowledge and is there for all of us, year after year, as we refine our own inner mastery, and move step by step closer to our goals. Albert Einstein explained this concept well when he said that “if you can't explain it to a six-year-old you don't understand it yourself” and this is because teaching something will clearly show you where you have gaps in your own understanding. I'll never forget when I got to PART 6 of the book review, I noticed my book had no notes after around chapter 13. I began studying this book in my late 20s, and was very interested in the subconscious mind (chapter 12) but not at all interested in the brain (chapter 13) at this time, so I actually stopped reading the book here. I knew I never did finished reading this book (until I had to teach it) which explains a lot when it comes to the commitment to complete something. In order to teach something, we must first of all understand it ourselves. But when we LIVE it, and EMBODY what we are teaching (like Paul Martinelli has done) and what I am striving to do, it takes the words in each chapter to greater heights. So with gratitude to Paul Martinelli, who has created a valuable Sales Training Program, based on this timeless book, here is my attempt at covering Napoleon Hill's Think and Grow Rich book, for the Sales Professional, and I couldn't have produced this episode, without Paul's teachings. Let's now look at the first 10 important chapters from Napoleon Hill's Think and Grow Rich, through the lens of making our 2026 our Best Year ever, as well as to connect each principal for the salesperson. And you don't need to be in sales for these principles to work for us. Think and Grow Rich for Sales How Inner Mastery Becomes Sales Results Inspired by Think and Grow Rich Through a modern neuroscience + sales lens Chapter I: The Power of Thought Applied to Sales Why Sales Outcomes Begin in the Mind Core Idea: Sales performance is a reflection of expectation and belief first, not effort alone. What you think and believe about your ability, your product, and your outcome directly determines how you show up—and how others respond to you. Sales Applications Your internal dialogue sets your sales ceiling “Hoping” for results programs hesitation and inconsistency Expectation + emotion = outcome Listener Takeaway You don't get the sale you want. You get the sale you expect—the one you truly believe you can achieve. You get the sale you expect. The one you actually believe you can achieve. REVIEW OF CHAPTER I — “The Power of Thought” Edwin C. Barnes: The Man Who Thought Himself into Partnership with Thomas Edison In Chapter I of Think and Grow Rich, Napoleon Hill introduces us to Edwin C. Barnes, a man who achieved something extraordinary—not through money, connections, or credentials—but through the power of his thought. Barnes held a single, unwavering vision: to work with Thomas Edison—not for him, but with him. This was an audacious goal. Barnes did not know Edison personally. He lacked money, influence, and even the funds to comfortably pay for the train fare to New Jersey. Yet none of these obstacles altered his decision. Hill explains that Barnes did not wish for this partnership. He decided it would happen. When Edison later recalled their first meeting, he described Barnes standing before him looking like an ordinary tramp—but said there was something unmistakable in the expression of his face: “There was something in the expression of his face which conveyed the impression that he was determined to get what he had come after.” (Chapter I, p. 2, TAGR) Edison did not see wealth, polish, or preparation. He saw initiative, faith, and the will to win—and that was enough. Barnes brought no money to the table. No résumé. No formal value proposition. But he carried something far more powerful: a clear vision, unwavering belief, and a level of certainty that Edison could feel. Hill later writes that Barnes' “bulldog determination” and persistence with a single desire was destined to mow down all opposition and bring him the opportunity he sought. Barnes did not retreat when months passed and nothing happened. He did not say, “What's the use?” He did not downgrade his goal to something more “reasonable.” He held the vision until reality caught up with it. Why This Matters for Sales To understand why Edison trusted Barnes, we must understand something critical: Thought carries frequency. Belief has energy. Certainty is felt long before it is spoken. Edison did not evaluate Barnes based on where he was. He responded to where Barnes knew he was going. Barnes was already operating on the frequency of partnership—not employment. And Edison recognized it. “When one is truly ready for a thing, it puts in its appearance.” (Chapter I, p. 3, TAGR) Barnes was ready. Putting Chapter I into Action for Sales Look at the image in the show notes illustrating levels of frequency of thought—where the physical, intellectual, and spiritual worlds intersect like the colors of a rainbow. Think of each level as a different radio station. To hear the station you want, you must tune your mind to that frequency. If you receive your 2026 sales goal and your immediate thought is: “There's no way I can do this,” then that is the frequency you are broadcasting. You are not tuned to the level where that goal exists. You cannot reach a destination using the same level of thinking that created your current results. This is why Marshall Goldsmith's principle holds true: What got you here won't get you there.[iii] The Key to Chapter I: Unwavering Belief Napoleon Hill makes this unmistakably clear: “When a person really desires a thing so deeply that they are willing to stake their entire future on a single turn of the wheel to get it, they are sure to win.” (Chapter I, p. 2, TAGR) Barnes staked his future on belief. Sales excellence requires the same commitment. A 5-Step Sales Application Framework to Apply Chapter 1 STEP 1 When your sales goal is set, ask yourself honestly: Do I believe I can achieve this? STEP 2 If belief is present, create a clear, actionable plan—and commit to following it consistently. STEP 3 If belief is not present, seek out someone who has already achieved the result. Borrow their certainty. Follow their guidance exactly. STEP 4 Once belief is established, take daily action. There is no wishing—only disciplined effort backed by belief. STEP 5 Monitor not just results, but your level of belief. When belief wavers, behavior follows suit. When behavior wavers, results disappear. Final Thought for Chapter 1 Edwin C. Barnes did not succeed because he was lucky. He succeeded because he thought differently—and held that thought long enough for reality to align with it. He jumped to an entirely new frequency with this belief. Sales mastery begins the same way. Not with tactics. Not with scripts. But with the Power of Thought Backed by Belief. Chapter II: Desire From Wanting Sales to Demanding Results Core Idea: Desire must be emotionally charged and specific. Sales Application: Turning vague quotas into emotional targets Why clarity eliminates hesitation Selling with intention vs need Listener Takeaway: Vague goals create vague results.   REVIEW OF CHAPTER II: DESIRE — The Starting Point of All Achievement Chapter II of Think and Grow Rich brings us to the engine behind every meaningful result: Desire. Napoleon Hill makes this unmistakably clear: “All achievement begins with an idea.” But not every idea becomes reality. Only ideas fueled by burning desire become reality. Hill describes Edwin C. Barnes' desire as something very specific: “It was not a hope. It was not a wish. It was a pulsating desire which transcended everything else. It was definite.” (Chapter II, p. 19, TAGR) Barnes did not hope to work with Thomas Edison. He did not wish it might happen someday. He expected it. At the time, there was no evidence this partnership would ever exist. Barnes and Edison were not in conversation. There were no guarantees. No proof. No visible path. And yet Barnes committed to the idea anyway. That's the nature of true desire: It moves before evidence appears. Going from where you are now to where you want to go is always a process—and at the beginning of that process, desire often feels irrational, private, even uncomfortable to say out loud. That doesn't make it wrong. It makes it powerful. Why This Matters for Sales In sales, desire drives behavior. You don't need to know how you'll hit your goal at the beginning. You only need to know what you want and why you want it. The “how” always reveals itself after this commitment. This is something my mentor Bob Proctor emphasized constantly. When I moved from Canada to the United States in 2001, I had no clear roadmap. I didn't know exactly how it would work. But I had clarity of desire—and that was enough to begin. The way was shown… Along with obstacles. Many of them. That's always how it works. Obstacles are not signs you're off track. They are part of the process. Desire and Sales Frequency What does DESIRE have to do with SALES SUCCESS? Here's the key sales translation: Hesitation does not exist at the same frequency as certainty. It's this certainty (or burning desire) that we will need. When desire is weak: You hesitate You soften your language You sell with need instead of intention When desire is strong: Clarity replaces doubt Energy becomes steady Certainty becomes transferable to those you are speaking to Ask yourself honestly: Do I have the same burning desire in my sales goals that Edison saw in Barnes' eyes? Because others can feel it—just as easily as they can feel when it's missing. Desire radiates. Hesitation leaks. And buyers will respond accordingly. Burning the Ships Hill offers one of the most powerful principles in the book in this chapter on Desire: “Every person who wins in any undertaking must be willing to burn their ships and cut all sources of retreat.”(Chapter II, p. 21, TAGR) Barnes did this when he traveled to New Jersey to meet Edison. I did this when I left Toronto for the United States in 2001. There was no “going back if it didn't work.” Burning the ships forces alignment. And this connects directly to a later chapter: Decision. The Latin root of the word decision means “to cut.” When you decide, you cut off retreat. You look at your sales goal and see no acceptable outcome other than its achievement. That level of commitment changes how you show up every single day. The Six Steps to Achieve Any Goal (Chapter II) Next in this Chapter, Napoleon Hill outlines six steps designed to impress desire directly into the subconscious mind. Though written about money, (in the book) these steps apply to any goal, including sales. These are the steps I personally keep visible—and that leaders like American Businessman Grant Cardone practice daily. The Six Steps Write a clear description of what you want. You must know exactly where you're going. What is your sales goal? Decide what you're willing to give in return. There is no such thing as something for nothing. You will give up something of lower value to gain something greater. (I never understood this until I watched others with their achievements. Sometimes it's giving up time, or watching Netflix, or something like that. You give up something of a lower nature, to receive what it is that you want). Set a definite date. Desire without a timeline remains a wish. Create a clear action plan. Begin immediately—ready or not. Write the plan out in detail. Clarity strengthens commitment. Read it twice a day. As you read, see, feel, and believe yourself already in possession of the goal. (Chapter II, p. 23, TAGR) This sounds simple—but not easy. Most people won't do it consistently. That's why most people won't get these extraordinary results. Listener Takeaway Vague goals create vague results. Sales success begins the moment desire becomes: clear emotionally charged and non-negotiable Final Thought — Chapter II: Desire Desire is not motivation. It is not excitement. It is not ambition. Desire is commitment before evidence appears. When your desire is strong enough: hesitation disappears clarity sharpens certainty becomes visible And when certainty is visible, others respond to it. Sales does not reward the most talented. It rewards the most committed. Everything that follows in Think and Grow Rich rests on this foundation. If desire is weak, nothing else works. If desire is strong, the rest becomes possible. Chapter III: Faith Certainty Is the Real Close Core Idea: Faith is belief made visible through certainty. Sales Application: Why buyers borrow certainty from the salesperson Confidence vs arrogance How belief softens objections Listener Takeaway: Buyers don't borrow certainty from products. They borrow it from you.   REVIEW OF CHAPTER III: FAITH How Do We Develop Faith? Napoleon Hill defines faith clearly and practically: “Faith is a state of mind which may be induced, or created, by affirmations or repeated instructions, through the principle of autosuggestion.” (Chapter III, p. 46, TAGR) Faith is not something you wait for. It is something you train. We develop faith by following the six steps outlined in Chapter 2 of Think and Grow Rich: writing our goals and reading them aloud every day—twice a day—until the idea moves from the conscious mind into the non-conscious mind through autosuggestion. This is a process. If you have never read your goals out loud before, it may feel uncomfortable at first. When I started, I remember closing my office window, worried my neighbors might think I was crazy. In the beginning, the words can feel awkward and forced. But with repetition, something changes. Your words begin to flow more easily. Your tone becomes confident. And eventually, what once felt unnatural starts to feel true. Our goals begin living with and through us. Hill instructs us to read our goals: “As if you were already in possession of them.” (Chapter III, p. 48, TAGR) A simple way to do this is to begin with the statement: “I am so happy and grateful now that…” and then state your goal clearly—whether it's a sales target or any other objective you are working toward.   Faith, Autosuggestion, and Something Bigger This is often the point where people bring their own beliefs into the process. If you believe—as I do—that there is something greater than yourself at work in the world, you will feel it here. Hill called it Infinite Intelligence. Others may call it God, Spirit, or Universal Intelligence. Hill wrote: “Faith is the element, the ‘chemical' which, when mixed with prayer, gives one direct communication with Infinite Intelligence.” (Chapter III, p. 49, TAGR) Regardless of what you call it, the experience is the same: faith grows when belief is repeatedly impressed upon the mind. And this is critical: We must have faith in our dreams, not in our doubts.   Faith Applied to Sales In sales, faith shows up as certainty. Buyers do not buy certainty from products. They borrow it from the salesperson. This is where many people get confused. Faith is not arrogance. Arrogance is loud and brittle. Faith is calm, grounded, and steady. When you believe in: yourself the value you bring and the outcome you're guiding someone toward your certainty becomes transferable. And when certainty is present, objections soften. Not because you argue them away—but because belief replaces resistance. How Faith Becomes Unwavering To build unwavering faith, Hill's principles point us to three realities: You must move through the Terror Barrier of Fear. Faith grows when your conscious and non-conscious minds begin to align. Fear appears first—but it does not get the final word. Faith strengthens through repetition. Writing and repeating your goals daily through autosuggestion gradually reshapes belief. Faith grows fastest when focused on one clear idea. Pick one goal. Take action toward it. Each step builds self-confidence, self-awareness, and self-esteem. Over time, belief takes hold. One day, you'll look back at the early version of yourself—the one who hesitated, doubted, or felt unsure—and you'll realize how far you've come. I talk about this idea often. It's like adding red food color drops into a cup of water. In the beginning, it's hard to see any change in the color of the water. But over time, with persistent action, the glass of water eventually changes color. And you'll look back and be grateful you moved forward past fear. Listener Takeaway Buyers don't borrow certainty from products. They borrow it from you. Final Thought — Chapter III: Faith Faith is not pretending. It is not positive thinking. And it is not blind optimism. Faith is certainty trained through repetition. When belief becomes strong enough, it changes how you speak, how you act, and how others respond to you. Sales closed do not happen at the end of the conversation. They happen the moment certainty is felt. And certainty begins inside you. REVIEW OF CHAPTERS I–III The Foundation of Sales Mastery To review and conclude this special review of Napoleon Hill's Think and Grow Rich, through the lens of a salesperson, we covered the first three chapters of Think and Grow Rich that form a complete inner foundation. Together, they explain why sales success begins long before tactics, scripts, or strategies ever matter. Before there is action, there is belief. Before belief, there is desire. And before desire, there is thought. Napoleon Hill does not begin this book with techniques. He begins with identity and inner alignment. For sales professionals, these chapters explain why results are not random—and why performance is always an inside-out process. Chapter I — The Power of Thought Why Sales Outcomes Begin in the Mind Chapter I introduces the central premise: Thought is creative. Through the story of Edwin C. Barnes, Hill shows us that success begins when a person decides what they want and holds that thought with unwavering persistence—long before evidence appears. Barnes did not hope to work with Thomas Edison. He decided it would happen. Despite having no money, no relationship, and no visible path, Barnes carried himself with such certainty that Edison felt it immediately. Edison did not respond to Barnes' circumstances—he responded to Barnes' state of mind. Sales Application: Sales performance reflects what you expect, not what you wish for. Your internal dialogue: sets your confidence level shapes your tone determines whether you lead or hesitate You don't get the sale you want. You get the sale you expect—the one you truly believe is possible. Chapter II — Desire From Wanting Sales to Demanding Results If thought sets direction, desire supplies the fuel. In Chapter II, Hill makes a critical distinction: Desire is not hope. It is not wishing. It is not motivation. True desire is emotionally charged, specific, and definite. Barnes' desire to work with Edison was not casual or negotiable. It was what Hill called a burning desire—so strong that Barnes was willing to stake his future on it. Sales Application: Desire determines behavior. When desire is vague: goals feel optional hesitation increases selling comes from need When desire is clear and emotionally anchored: confidence sharpens clarity replaces doubt certainty becomes visible Vague goals create vague results. Sales success accelerates the moment desire becomes non-negotiable. Chapter III — Faith Certainty Is the Real Close Chapter III explains how desire becomes believable: through faith. Hill defines faith not as blind belief, but as a trainable state of mind, developed through repetition and autosuggestion. Faith is belief made visible through certainty. By writing goals clearly and reading them aloud daily—as if already achieved—belief moves from the conscious mind into the non-conscious mind. Over time, certainty replaces doubt. Sales Application: Buyers do not borrow certainty from products. They borrow it from the salesperson. Faith shows up in sales as: calm confidence (not arrogance) steady tone authority without pressure When faith is present, objections soften—not because they're argued away, but because certainty dissolves resistance. How Chapters I–III Work Together These chapters are not separate ideas. They form a sequence: Thought sets direction Desire creates commitment Faith produces certainty Without thought, there is no aim. Without desire, there is no momentum. Without faith, there is no follow-through. Sales mastery begins here—not with what you say, but with who you are being when you say it. Final Integrated Insight (Chapters I–III) Sales does not reward effort alone. It rewards clarity, commitment, and certainty. When: your thoughts are aligned your desire is definite and your faith is trained your results begin to change—often before your strategy does. Because at the highest level, sales is not a transaction. It is the transference of emotion. And the primary emotion is certainty. With gratitude to close out our review of Chapters 1-3 of Think and Grow Rich dedicated to the salesperson, we bring our credit to Paul Martinelli, who has helped me to understand not only the entire book, for our first review, but to now take this book, and apply it for success in the sales industry. I hope you have enjoyed this angle of this timeless book, and we will see you in a few days for PART 2 of this review, where we will cover the next 3 chapters of Think and Grow Rich.

General Spaatz's Hesitation and the Missions of Enola Gay and Bockscar: Colleague Evan Thomas explains that General "Tooey" Spaatz, troubled by civilian deaths in Europe, demanded written orders before commanding the atomic attacks on Japan, contrasting the execution of the Hiroshima mission with the "snake bit" Nagasaki raid, where pilot errors and cloud cover caused the bomb to miss its target, reducing the death toll. 1939  TOKYO

Dr. Destiny Huff, a late-diagnosed autistic and ADHD military spouse, therapist, and special education advocate, joins Lily and Erin for a powerful conversation on parenthood, identity, and reimagining advocacy. As the founder of Destiny Huff Consulting, she works with families across the U.S. to make education systems more responsive, compassionate, and effective for neurodivergent learners.In this episode, Destiny shares how her own diagnosis transformed the way she supports families and children. She explains what it means to build neuroaffirming practices, from presuming competence and honoring autonomy to designing goals that match real learner needs.Destiny also breaks down what an IEP really is; a program, not a plan, and how parents can ask for meetings, request changes, and find collaboration instead of conflict. The discussion explores bias in diagnosis, barriers faced by Black and Brown families, and how educators can check their assumptions to better support every student.Key Moments00:00 Tribute to Alice Wong08:13 "Advocacy and Neurodivergence Insights"15:24 "Neuroaffirming Special Education Handbook"19:17 Centering Voices in Autism Advocacy22:37 "Advocating for Diverse Learners"30:17 "Focus, Educate, and Understand Intentions"34:06 "Parenting Autism: Struggles and Strengths"41:46 "Building Bridges, Not Burning Them"48:30 Hesitation in Disclosing Diagnoses50:43 "Embracing Accurate Labels and Support"55:36 Bias in Disability Labels Explained01:02:21 "Lessons on Rest and Renewal"Connect with Dr. Destiny HuffLinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/destiny-huff-lpc-iep/ Destiny Huff Consulting: https://www.destinyhuffconsulting.com/ Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/destinyhuff_iep_advocate/ Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/destinyhuffconsulting/ HRG Counseling: https://www.hrgcounseling.com/ 

Hesitation can cost you what God is trying to save

Today, we're tackling a topic many over 60 consider: re-entering the dating scene. It's a journey that can bring companionship and joy, but it's perfectly natural to feel some initial hesitation. Think about it – past experiences, physical changes, a smaller dating pool – these are all valid concerns. But the good news is, these hesitations can be overcome, opening doors to fulfilling connections.Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/lets-talk-sex--5052038/support.

IF YOU HAVE EVER HAVE WONDERED IF THE SCRIPTURES DEFINITIVELY PROVE THAT JESUS IS GOD, THEN THIS MESSAGE BY GEORGE WHITEFIELD IS THE MESSAGE TO LISTEN TO FOR HE EASILY AND SUCCINCTLY SHOWS FOR ALL TO SEE THE DIVINITY OF CHRIST. ALSO HE PROVES THAT GOOD WORKS FOLLOW THE NEW CREATION, NOT VICE VERSA OR COLLABORATIVELY. EXCERPTS FROM GEORGE WHITEFIELDS SERMON ENTITLED: ‘WHAT THINK YE OF CHRIST'“Besides, many Deceivers are gone abroad into the World. Mere Heathen Morality, and not JESUS CHRIST, is preached in most of our Churches. And how should People think rightly of CHRIST, of whom they have scarcely heard? Do bear with me a little then, whilst, to inform your Consciences, I ask you a few Questions concerning JESUS CHRIST: For there is no other Name given under Heaven, whereby we can be saved, but his.And First, What think you 〈…〉 the Person of CHRIST? Whose Son is he? This is the Question our LORD put to the Pharisees in the Words fol|lowing the Text; and never was it more necessary to repeat this Question than in these last Days. For Numbers that are called after the Name of CHRIST, and I fear, many that pretend to preach him, are so far advancedin the blasphemous Chair, as openly to deny his being really, TRULY and PROPERLY GOD. But NO ONE that ever was Partaker of his Spirit, will speak thus lightly of him. NO;if they are asked, as Peter and his Brethren were, but whom say ye that I am? they will reply without Hesitation, Thou art CHRIST the Son of the everliving GOD. For the Confession of our Lord's Divinity, “is “the Rock upon which be builds his Church. Was it possible to take this away, the Gates of Hell would quickly pre|vail against it.—My Brethren, if JESUS CHRIST be not very GOD of very GOD, I would never preach the Gospel again. For it WOULD NOT be Gos|pel; it would be only a System of moral Ethicks: Seneca, Cicero, or any of the Gentile Philosophers would be as good a Saviour as JESUS of Nazareth.is the Divinity of our LORD that gives a Sancti|on on to his Death, and makes him such a High-Priest as became us, viz. One who by the infinite Merits of his Suffering could make a full, perfect, sufficient Sacrifice, Satisfaction and Oblation to an infinitely offended Justice. And whatever Minister of the Church of England, makes use of her Forms, and eats of her Bread, and yet holds not this Doctrine (as I fear too many such are crept in amongst us) such a one belongs only to the Synagogue of Satan.—He is not a Child or Minister of GOD: No; he is a Wolf in Sheep's Cloathing, he is a Child and Minister of that Wicked One the Devil.Many will think these hard Sayings: But I think it no Breach of Charity to affirm, that an Arian or Socinian cannot be a Christian.—The one would make us believe JESUS CHRIST is only a Created God, which is a Self-Contradiction. And the other would have us look on him only as a Good Man, and instead of owning his Death to be an Atonement for the Sins of the World, would persuade us, that CHRIST died only to seal the Truth of his Doctrine with his Blood. But “if “JESUS CHRIST be no more than a mere Man, if he be not truly GOD, he was the vilest Sinner that ever appeared in the World.—For he accepted of Divine Adoration from the Man who had been born blind, as we read John ix. 38. And he said, LORD I believe, and WORSHIPPED him. Besides, if CHRIST be not properly GOD, our Faith is vain, we are yet in our Sins:—For no created Being, tho' of the highest Order, could possibly merit any thing at GOD's Hands: No, it was our LORD's Divinity, that alone qualified him to take away the Sins of the World; and therefore we hear St. the like Reason, St. Paul says, that he was in the Form of GOD.—That in him dwelt all the Fulness of the Godhead bodily.—Nay, JESUS CHRIST himself assumes the Title which GOD gave to himself,. Before Abraham, was, says he, “I AM”

In this episode of the Schofield Chiropractic Training MoChihChu Podcast, Dr. Fred and Dr. FJ unpack one of the most overlooked truths of modern chiropractic, and life: we've become too comfortable. Through stories of fearless kids, African safaris, and the ancient wisdom of the Bushmen, the Schofields explore what happens when comfort dulls our hunger and weakens our meaning. From crocodile-filled rivers to thorn-bush fences, Dr. Fred paints vivid lessons about courage, mentorship, and the necessity of discomfort to create depth and purpose in practice. The conversation flows from the toughness of the Himba tribes to the mental discipline required to run a thriving chiropractic office. Dr. Fred reminds us that every strong practice, like every thorn bush, must have boundaries that protect its energy, and every chiropractor must rediscover their own why. Dr. FJ breaks it down practically: health, energy, and consistent action are the foundation of resilience. Without vitality, you can't sustain the intensity needed to build something great. This episode is a wake-up call for anyone coasting through life or practice. Comfort might feel good, but it never grows you. "When we have no adversity, we invent it. So train your mind and body with hard things, then real challenges feel small." – Dr. FJ Schofield Weekly Action Steps: Do One Hard Thing: Choose a daily challenge—cold shower, morning run, tough conversation—and face it head-on. Find Your Thorn Bush: Identify what boundaries protect your purpose. Where are you letting distractions or predators in? Reconnect with Meaning: Write down why you started. Post it where you can see it every day. Build Energy to Build Impact: Move your body, nourish yourself, and show up to your practice with vitality. Because hunger starts the journey—but meaning keeps you charging. Listen, share, and rise above comfort.  Keep Charging Rhinos! MoChihChu!

PREVIEW: Argentina's Economic Reforms and Hesitation of Foreign Investors Guest: Mary Anastasia Grady Mary Anastasia Grady discusses Argentina, noting that despite successes including deregulation, tax cuts, and reduction of government size, foreign investment is not materializing. Investors remain on the sidelines due to concerns that the peso is overvalued and capital controls exist, creating uncertainty about when they can retrieve their money. This suggests President Javier Milei is holding back from implementing necessary additional economic reforms to attract international capital. 1930 ARGENTINA VS USA

Story Transcript:Hi: दिवाली का उत्सव करीब था और पूरा कार्यालय एक नई उमंग से भरा हुआ था।En: The Diwali festival was approaching, and the entire office was filled with a new excitement.Hi: ऑफिस के कॉरपोरेट कमरे में दीयों की रौशनी झिलमिला रही थी और दरवाजों पर गेंदे के फूलों की माला लटक रही थी।En: The corporate room of the office was shimmering with the light of diyas, and garlands of marigold flowers were hanging on the doors.Hi: वातावरण में अगरबत्ती की सुगंध और मिठाइयों की खुशबू घुली हुई थी, जो हर किसी के चेहरे पर मुस्कान ला रही थी।En: The atmosphere was filled with the fragrance of incense and the aroma of sweets, bringing a smile to everyone's face.Hi: रोहन इस साल की दिवाली प्रस्तुति को लेकर बेहद उत्साहित था।En: Rohan was very excited about this year's Diwali presentation.Hi: वह एक मेहनती और महत्वाकांक्षी प्रोजेक्ट मैनेजर था, जिसके मन में अपने सहकर्मियों और उच्च अधिकारियों को प्रभावित करने की छिपी हुई चाह थी।En: He was a hardworking and ambitious project manager with a hidden desire to impress his colleagues and higher officials.Hi: वह चाहता था कि यह प्रस्तुति सही से हो ताकि उसे प्रमोशन के लिए चुना जा सके और वह अपने दोस्त और बॉस सभी के बीच सम्मान पा सके।En: He wanted the presentation to go perfectly so that he could be considered for a promotion and gain respect among his friends and boss.Hi: लेकिन रोहन मन में कई झिझक और आत्म-संदेह भी महसूस कर रहा था।En: However, Rohan was also feeling many hesitations and self-doubts.Hi: उसने पूरे कार्यक्रम की जिम्मेदारी खुद पर ले रखी थी, जिसे लेकर वह काफी तनाव में आ गया था।En: He had taken the entire responsibility of the program upon himself, which had stressed him out quite a bit.Hi: उसे समझ नहीं आ रहा था कि कैसे सभी के विविध रुचियों को ध्यान में रखते हुए एक ऐसी प्रस्तुति तैयार की जाए जो सबको पसंद आए।En: He wasn't sure how to prepare a presentation that would cater to everyone's diverse interests and be liked by all.Hi: अनिका, उसकी सहकर्मी और मित्र, हमेशा उसकी सहायता करने के लिए तैयार रहती थी।En: Anika, his colleague and friend, was always ready to help him.Hi: वह रचनात्मक सुझाव देने में निपुण थी और रोहन को भावनात्मक सहारा भी देती थी।En: She was adept at providing creative suggestions and gave emotional support to Rohan.Hi: लेकिन, वह रोहन की गहरी चिंताओं से अंजान थी।En: However, she was unaware of his deep concerns.Hi: संजय, ऑफिस का अनुभवी इवेंट कोऑर्डिनेटर, जानता था कि रोहन में नेतृत्व की क्षमता है लेकिन उसे यह भी एहसास था कि रोहन छोटी-छोटी चीजों पर ज्यादा ध्यान केंद्रित करता है।En: Sanjay, the experienced event coordinator of the office, knew that Rohan had leadership potential, but he also realized that Rohan focused too much on minor details.Hi: उसने कई बार रोहन को सलाह दी थी कि वह थोड़ी जिम्मेदारी दूसरों को भी सौंपे।En: He had advised Rohan several times to delegate some responsibility to others.Hi: आखिरकार, रोहन ने महसूस किया कि वह अकेले सबकुछ नहीं कर सकता।En: Eventually, Rohan realized that he couldn't do everything alone.Hi: उसने अनिका और संजय को कुछ कार्य सौंप दिए।En: He assigned some tasks to Anika and Sanjay.Hi: अनिका ने प्रस्तुति में नए आइडियाज जोड़े और संजय ने कार्यक्रम के तकनीकी पहलुओं का ध्यान रखा।En: Anika added new ideas to the presentation, and Sanjay took care of the technical aspects of the program.Hi: टीम के सहयोग से काम में तेजी आई और सब कुछ सही दिशा में चलने लगा।En: With the team's cooperation, the work picked up speed, and everything started moving in the right direction.Hi: लेकिन कार्यक्रम के दिन, जब सब कुछ सही तरीके से चल रहा था, तभी प्रस्तुति की तकनीकी व्यवस्था में एक गंभीर समस्या आ गई।En: But on the day of the program, when everything was going well, a serious issue arose in the technical setup of the presentation.Hi: स्क्रीन पर प्रोजेक्टर काम नहीं कर रहा था।En: The projector screen wasn't working.Hi: रोहन के लिए यह एक बड़ा झटका था लेकिन उसने धैर्य नहीं खोया।En: This was a big setback for Rohan, but he didn't lose patience.Hi: उसने तुरंत एक वैकल्पिक योजना तैयार की और अनिका और संजय की मदद ली।En: He quickly prepared an alternative plan and took help from Anika and Sanjay.Hi: कुछ देर की हलचल के बाद, प्रस्तुति एक बार फिर से पटरी पर आ गई।En: After a little commotion, the presentation was back on track.Hi: कार्यक्रम की शुरुआत में आई बाधाएं अब प्रस्तुति को और भी अधिक रोचक बना रही थीं।En: The obstacles faced at the beginning of the program were now making the presentation even more interesting.Hi: रोहन की नेतृत्व क्षमता और उसकी टीम का कठिन परिश्रम रंग लाया।En: Rohan's leadership skills and his team's hard work paid off.Hi: सभी दर्शकों ने प्रस्तुति की सराहना की और रोहन को उसकी नेतृत्व क्षमता के लिए प्रशंसा मिली।En: All the audience appreciated the presentation, and Rohan received praise for his leadership ability.Hi: कार्यक्रम के अंत में अपने सहयोगियों और वरिष्ठों के बीच खड़ा रहकर, रोहन ने महसूस किया कि सफलता अकेले नहीं बल्कि टीम के साथ मिलकर हासिल होती है।En: Standing among his colleagues and seniors at the end of the program, Rohan realized that success is achieved not alone but by working together as a team.Hi: उसकी समझ में आ गया था कि शेयर किया हुआ संतोष व्यक्तिगत सफलता से कहीं अधिक संतोषजनक होता है।En: He understood that shared satisfaction is much more fulfilling than individual success.Hi: वह अब आत्मविश्वास से भरा था और उसे अपने नेतृत्व में एक नई दिशा दिखी थी।En: He was now filled with confidence and saw a new direction in his leadership.Hi: इस दिवाली के उत्सव के साथ ही, रोहन ने न केवल एक शानदार प्रस्तुति दी, बल्कि अपने भीतर छिपी नेतृत्व क्षमता को भी पहचाना और अपने सपनों की ओर एक और कदम बढ़ाया।En: With this Diwali celebration, Rohan not only delivered an outstanding presentation but also recognized his hidden leadership capabilities and took another step towards his dreams.

Here's 2 hard truths: working yourself into the ground isn't proof you've “made it.”Hesitating on the things that matter isn't protecting you—it's writing "I don't trust myself" in your fields. Your manifestation field reflects exactly what you're sending out—hesitation included.In this episode, I break down:Why overdoing actually holds you back from the wealth, success, and freedom you're chasing.Why hesitation is secretly sabotaging your momentum (even if it feels safe).How to find the sweet spot where you're productive, soul-aligned, and not running on burnout energy.I share exactly how I went from hyperactive "I'm working a lot but I love the work!!!" to working smarter, living more, and actually enjoying the success I built—without sacrificing my energy, my time, or my joy. This isn't theory. This is what actually works when you're ready to get out of the hamster wheel. (Real-life strategies included).RESOURCES:SHE'S A GENIUS HYPNOSISKatelin's IGIT GIRL PREP

In this episode of the Schofield Chiropractic Training MoChihChu Podcast, Dr. Fred and Dr. FJ dive deep into what separates those who talk about success from those who live it. From the story of a young man in 1926 who traveled halfway across the world to become a chiropractor, to BJ Palmer's unmatched foresight and discipline, the Schofields remind us that greatness is never accidental. It's the result of repetition, consistency, and action.....done today, not tomorrow. Dr. Fred shares the forgotten truth that "the visual component is 33% of the adjustment," and how what surrounds you, your environment, your mindset, your words, directly impacts your results. Meanwhile, Dr. FJ breaks down the most common trap in chiropractic and in life: waiting for the "perfect moment." "Don't worry about doing it every day. Just do it today." – Dr. FJ Schofield The conversation expands beyond chiropractic into the universal law of action, how space, time, and repetition shape every result in your health, your practice, and your life. From bootcamp discipline to the art of showing up, the Schofields challenge every listener to stop thinking and start doing. Weekly Action Steps: Move Today: Lace up your shoes and go for a 10-minute walk. Don't plan it—just do it. Anchor Your Mind: Add one quote or visual reminder in your adjusting room that inspires focus and intention. Take Imperfect Action: Pick one thing you've been putting off in your practice—training your team, raising your fees, calling that patient—and do it now. Because success doesn't wait for motivation. It responds to motion. Listen, share, and start your momentum today.  Keep Charging Rhinos! MoChihChu! Moving Forward without Hesitation!   Join Dr. Fred & Dr. FJ at our next seminar!

Hesitation has a History | Robbie Hilton | Calvary Church

      8. The Triumph, the Skepticism, and the Legacy of the Sisterhood Liza Mundy Book: The Sisterhood: The Secret History of Women at the CIA Even with high-level attention on the bin Laden compound, the targeters faced continued doubt and hesitation from senior operational leadership, a symptom of the CIA's humiliation over 9/11 and the bad intelligence regarding WMDs in the Iraq War. Nevertheless, the "ground-level targeters" were "very close to 100% confident" in their precision, using detailed aerial imagery analysis, including counting the laundry on the line, to determine the number of people and families inside the compound. When the SEALs raided the compound, they were astonished by the precision of the targeters' intelligence. In retirement, key figures like Barbara Sude and Heidi August continued their lives. The women later gathered at a writers' retreat for a cathartic moment, drinking wine and reading aloud the memoirs of the men they had worked for, often "shouting with frustration." The book also notes that the character of Maya (from Zero Dark Thirty) was based on a single woman who left the agency unpromoted.

The Fearless Flow solves this by providing the internal regulatory system needed to sustain that external risk. It allows you to feel the fear but stay anchored in your body, rather than being pulled into self-protection. By grounding yourself in the combined calm of the Breath, Mudra, and Chakra Focus, you build the deep internal safety required to drop the external armor of perfectionism and truly "dare greatly."

Why do you feel fear in your gut? Because your Enteric Nervous System (ENS)—often called your 'second brain'—lives there. Today, we ignite the Solar Plexus Chakra (Manipura), the energy center of personal power. By focusing our attention and visualization on this core area, we calm the physical seat of anxiety (the 'butterflies in the stomach'), transforming that worried energy into decisive action and unstoppable willpower.

Neuroscience suggests that the brain cannot clearly distinguish between a vividly imagined event and a real-life experience. This means visualization isn't just daydreaming; it's powerful, practical mental rehearsal. Today, we leverage this research to consciously program a fearless mindset. We will create a detailed, sensory-rich 'Future Self'—a version of you who acts with unwavering courage—and step into that identity, creating new neural pathways that reinforce boldness. This is the foundation of becoming fearless. WELCOME TO THIS WEEK'S SERIES: Becoming Fearless: Breaking the Habit of Hesitation Welcome to this week's new series!

Trick or Treat Manifesting?Most people treat manifesting like Halloween.They're out there using tricks to get a treat.“What mantra should I chant?”“What number should I focus on?”“What exact script will finally make it happen?”That's not manifesting. That's bartering.

Welcome back to another After Dark episode of the Iron Sights Podcast. My guest today is Phil Downs, partner at Cholakian & Associates, former U.S. Marine Infantry Platoon Commander, and seasoned civil defense litigator. Our conversation goes well beyond report writing. We dig into the nuances of use of force, the Fourth and Fourteenth Amendments, and the non-uniformity of the U.S. judiciary system. Phil breaks down how legal language is frequently misunderstood, misapplied, and how those misunderstandings play out on our streets and in our courtrooms. Whether you're a law enforcement professional, a legal enthusiast, or a citizen who wants to better understand and protect your rights, this episode delivers a roadmap to strengthen both your knowledge and application of constitutional protections. Share this with friends, family, or anyone who values the importance of clear understanding of their rights.Timestamps:000:00 Intro07:43 Guest Background12:62 Reporting Challenges20:23 Legal & Training Gaps36:32 Case Studies44:25 Hesitation & Decisions50:09 Gadget Reliance57:29 Crowd Control Issues01:01:03 Better Training01:07:07 Innovation & Mental Health01:16:21 Context & Communication01:21:04 Report Writing Tips01:34:50 Accurate Reporting01:43:54 Law & Society01:47:28 Closing RemarksRed Dot Fitness Training Programs:rdfprograms.comOnline Membership (Full Access To All Programs & Virtual Coaching):https://www.reddotfitness.net/online-membershipVirtual Coaching:https://www.reddotfitness.net/virtual-coachingSelf-Guided Programs:https://www.reddotfitness.net/Self-Guided-Programs1Connect With Us:Website - https://ironsightspodcast.com/Instagram - https://www.instagram.com/ironsightspodcast/Facebook - https://www.facebook.com/

The 49ers are 3-0, but why is Joe Shasky not fully bought in yet?

People wait for others to lead, while life passes them by. Watching is not moving. We have more info but less leadership. The Tina Peters case is starting to take on a new light. It looks intentional. She's a county clerk that refused to look the other way. Apathy is unnerving. Groupies act like activists. It's engineered by social media. Hesitation is like life being stolen. Controlling the narrative is paramount. People don't like the light. Controllers are appalled and sick due to your independence. Jesus tried to change the way people thought. Doing things in life is a conscious decision. The future will definitely challenge us. Too many stood back when tools are available. The real problem is they make zero money on this. Another harassment tale. Ask God for a mountain, He will give you a shovel. Tomorrow belongs to those who act today. Smarter than doctors means healthy. Protecting the future from Covid evil. Fluoride truth is bubbling up. Quiet roll backs. MSM has big ties to pharma. Phoebe's court case will be massive. NATO credibility in question again. Ankara is shaking right now. Big business and bigger headlines. Some archipelago history. Giants explain how. Remember that history is written hy the victors and connecting the dots backwards shows a bigger picture.

In this episode, Jacob sits down with Joshua Meier, co-founder of Chai Discovery and former Chief AI Officer at Absci, to explore the breakthrough moment happening in AI drug discovery. They discuss how the field has evolved through three distinct waves, with the current generation of companies finally achieving success rates that seemed impossible just years ago.  The conversation covers everything from moving drug discovery out of the lab and into computers, to why AI models think differently than human chemists, to the strategic decisions around open sourcing foundational models while keeping design capabilities proprietary. It's an in-depth look at how AI is fundamentally changing pharmaceutical innovation and what it means for the future of medicine. Check out the full Chai-2 Zero-Shot Antibody report linked here: https://www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1101/2025.07.05.663018v1.full.pdf (0:00) Intro(1:25) The Evolution of AI in Drug Discovery(5:14) Current State and Future of AI in Biotech(10:08) Challenges and Modalities in Therapeutics(14:44) Data Generation and Model Training(22:52) Open Source and Model Development at Chai(29:52) Open Source Models and Their Impact(34:36) How Should Chai-2 Be Used?(38:53) The Future of AI in Pharma and Biotech(42:46) Key Milestones and Metrics in AI-Driven Drug Discovery(47:20) Critiques and Hesitation(54:01) Quickfire Out-Of-Pocket: https://www.outofpocket.health/

Welcome to The Daily, where we study the Bible verse by verse, chapter by chapter, every day. Support our mission to teach every verse of the Bible. Read more here: Project23 Our text today is Judges 4:11-16: Now Heber the Kenite had separated from the Kenites, the descendants of Hobab the father-in-law of Moses, and had pitched his tent as far away as the oak in Zaanannim, which is near Kedesh. When Sisera was told that Barak the son of Abinoam had gone up to Mount Tabor, Sisera called out all his chariots, 900 chariots of iron, and all the men who were with him, from Harosheth-hagoyim to the river Kishon. And Deborah said to Barak, “Up! For this is the day in which the Lord has given Sisera into your hand. Does not the Lord go out before you?” So Barak went down from Mount Tabor with 10,000 men following him. And the Lord routed Sisera and all his chariots and all his army before Barak by the edge of the sword. And Sisera got down from his chariot and fled away on foot. And Barak pursued the chariots and the army to Harosheth-hagoyim, and all the army of Sisera fell by the edge of the sword; not a man was left. — Judges 4:11-16 Would you fight differently if you knew God had already won the battle? The tension rises. Sisera rolls out with 900 iron chariots—the tanks of the ancient world. On paper, Israel doesn't stand a chance. But Deborah's words cut through the fear: “Up! For this is the day the Lord has given Sisera into your hand. Does not the Lord go out before you?” Notice that—has given. Past tense. This wasn't a battle to see who would win. It was a victory God had already secured. Then the Lord moves. A sudden storm (see Judges 5:20–21) floods the Kishon River, bogging down the chariots. The unstoppable enemy is stuck in the mud. Barak finally charges, but the truth is clear: the victory belonged to God before Barak ever lifted a sword. This is the secret of faith—you're not fighting for victory; you're fighting from victory. Barak hesitated, but God had already won the battle. The outcome was never in doubt. Maybe you're staring down your own “900 iron chariots”—that overwhelming challenge that looks impossible. Remember this: God has already secured the victory through Christ. The cross and the empty tomb prove it. Your job isn't to muster superhuman strength. It's to rise when God says, “Up!” and trust that he's already gone before you. Hesitation may rob you of joy and honor, but it will never undo the fact that God wins. The only question is—will you step into the victory He's already secured? ASK THIS: What “iron chariots” look unbeatable in my life right now? How would I act differently if I truly believed God had already won the battle? Where am I hesitating when I should be stepping into God's promised victory? How can I remind myself daily that I'm fighting from victory, not for it? DO THIS: When fear tempts you today, declare aloud: “This is a battle God has already won.” Then step into the next act of obedience He's calling you to. PRAY THIS: Lord, thank You that the victory is already Yours. Help me rise when You call, trusting that You've gone before me and secured the battle. Amen. PLAY THIS: "You've Already Won."

Welcome to The Daily, where we study the Bible verse by verse, chapter by chapter, every day. Support our mission to teach every verse of the Bible. Read more here: Project23 Our text today is Judges 4:6-10: She sent and summoned Barak the son of Abinoam from Kedesh-naphtali and said to him, “Has not the Lord, the God of Israel, commanded you, ‘Go, gather your men at Mount Tabor, taking 10,000 from the people of Naphtali and the people of Zebulun. And I will draw out Sisera, the general of Jabin's army, to meet you by the river Kishon with his chariots and his troops, and I will give him into your hand'?” Barak said to her, “If you will go with me, I will go, but if you will not go with me, I will not go.” And she said, “I will surely go with you. Nevertheless, the road on which you are going will not lead to your glory, for the Lord will sell Sisera into the hand of a woman.” Then Deborah arose and went with Barak to Kedesh. And Barak called out Zebulun and Naphtali to Kedesh, and 10,000 men went up at his heels, and Deborah went up with him. — Judges 4:6-10 What blessings slip through our fingers when we hesitate instead of acting in faith? God had already spoken: “Go, gather your men… I will give him into your hand.” The outcome was certain. Victory was promised. But Barak hesitated. Instead of trusting God's word, he leaned on Deborah: “If you go with me, I will go.” He wanted her presence more than God's promise. Deborah agreed—but warned him: the glory of victory wouldn't go to him. God would hand Sisera over to a woman instead. Barak went to battle, but the lesson was clear: hesitation comes at a cost. God still wins—but when we pause at the edge of obedience, we may miss the full blessing of leading boldly. This is where too many believers get stuck. God calls. The promise is sure. But instead of stepping out in full faith, we hesitate. We stall. We wait for more signs, more reassurance, more backup. Barak still fought, but his hesitation meant he lost the honor of leading with decisive courage. Deborah had to fill the gap. Here's the challenge: don't wait for someone else to carry the weight God put on your shoulders. God's victory doesn't depend on you—but your faithfulness does. Step up without hesitation. Don't miss the blessing because you lingered when God said, "Go." ASK THIS: Where am I hesitating when God has already spoken clearly? What fears keep me from taking the step God is calling me to take? Who might be carrying weight right now because I've delayed obedience? How can I step forward today in faith instead of waiting for more certainty? DO THIS: Pinpoint one area where you've been hesitating. Stop stalling—take one clear step of obedience today. PRAY THIS: Lord, forgive me for hesitating when you've already spoken. Give me the courage to step forward in faith, trusting your promise more than my fear. Amen. PLAY THIS: "Made For More."

In this conversation from Lenny's Podcast, Ben Horowitz joins Lenny to discuss the psychological muscle every founder needs, why hesitation can be fatal for CEOs, when it's time to replace a founder, and how to normalize failure while building confidence. They also explore the Databricks founding story, investing in Adam Neumann after WeWork, whether AI is in a bubble, where the real opportunities lie, and Ben's work with the Paid in Full Foundation supporting hip-hop pioneers. The result is a candid look at leadership, product management, and what it takes to build enduring companies. Timecodes: 00:00 Introduction 00:22 The Psychology of Leadership & Decision-Making02:41 Leadership lessons from Shaka Senghor07.56 Struggle, Pain, and Growth as a CEO 10:15 Running toward fear and why hesitation kills companies19:35 Who shouldn't start a company22:36 The Databricks story: thinking bigger24:54 Managerial leverage and CEO psychology28:06 When founders should be replaced as CEOs31:20 Normalizing failure for CEOs37:57 Counterintuitive lessons about building companies42:31 “Good Product Manager/Bad Product Manager”48:21 Product managers as leaders51:16 Why a16z invested in Adam Neumann after WeWork56:23 Is AI in a bubble?01:02:43 The biggest opportunities in AI01:12:51 Why U.S. leadership in AI matters01:18:53 The Paid in Full Foundation for hip-hop pioneers01:23:18 Lightning round: book recommendations, products, and life mottos Resources: Find Ben on X: https://x.com/bhorowitzFind Ben on LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/behorowitz/Watch more of Lenny's Podcast: https://www.youtube.com/@LennysPodcastCheck out Lenny's newsletter here: https://www.lennysnewsletter.com Stay Updated: Find a16z on X: https://x.com/a16z Find a16z on LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/company/a16z Listen to the a16z Podcast on Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/5bC65RDvs3oxnLyqqvkUYX?si=3E8B3qT9TyiwAHJ7JnaKbgListen to the a16z Podcast on Apple Podcasts: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/a16z-podcast/id842818711Follow our host: https://twitter.com/eriktorenbergPlease note that the content here is for informational purposes only; should NOT be taken as legal, business, tax, or investment advice or be used to evaluate any investment or security; and is not directed at any investors or potential investors in any a16z fund. a16z and its affiliates may maintain investments in the companies discussed.

Introduction Alright, let's cut to it. You're here because you're tired of the grind. The endless hustle. The feeling that you're always chasing something just out of reach. We're diving deep today. No fluff. Just the raw truth about what separates those who *achieve* from those who merely *aspire*. We're talking about identity. Not what you *do*, but who you *are*. Because when you shift that, everything shifts. We're unpacking the science behind your success. The hidden edge. The exact mechanisms in your brain that either hold you back or propel you forward. Get ready to move from transactional to transformative. From doubt to decisive. From hustle to alignment. This is where the real deals get done. Here's what we're covering: The Identity Shift: Beyond Transactional Goals Why tying goals to identity unlocks powerful motivation. The science behind recruiting stronger brain circuits. Moving from "I want" to "I am." Working Backwards: Consulting-Level Precision Neville Goddard's "thinking from the end" and its scientific backing. The brain's reward system: activating dopamine through purpose. Deactivating doubt: The ventromedial prefrontal cortex at work. Calming the amygdala by visualizing certainty. Prioritizing Actions: Returns and Exploration Focusing on high-return activities. The crucial role of exploration and embracing the unknown. How curiosity calms your fear center. Letting go of the "how" to embrace possibility. The Science of Alignment: Trust Over Cortisol Rewiring your neurochemical baseline. Shifting emotional associations from pressure to purpose. The default mode network and narrative identity. The power of the "Bardo state" – the space of possibility. Embodying Your Future Self: The "Be, Do, Have" Blueprint Transforming identity, not just chasing results. The neuroscience of belief and self-anchoring confidence. The truth: Your brain backs your belief. Acting from your highest and best good. Honest Overview This episode cuts through the noise. It's about shifting your focus. Stop chasing results. Start embodying your desired identity. The core message? Your identity drives your actions. Your actions shape your reality. Science proves it. Key takeaways: Transformative goals beat transactional ones. Tie your goals to who you are, not just what you get. Your brain rewards identity-based motivation. Think from the end. Work backward with precision. Visualize your desired state as already achieved. This calms your fear center and builds certainty. Embrace curiosity and exploration. Prioritize actions based on their potential return, but don't neglect the unknown. Sometimes the greatest leaps come from stepping outside the predictable. Hesitation is a dead end. Decisiveness, rooted in identity, is the path forward. Stop the hustle. Start aligning. It's not just a nice idea. It's a neurological rewiring. The deal is already done. Act like it.   Books The Science of Getting Rich People Brandon (Speaker) Neville Goddard Price Pritchett Joseph Dispenza Bob Proctor Bruce Lipton Websites Psychology Today (Mentioned implicitly in relation to article content)
