Are you a passionate fan of Design Matters like I am? It's one of the world's oldest podcasts and one of the best shows out there. Debbie Millman scratches her insatiable curiosity and explores what it means to live a rich, fulfilling, intentional life with luminaries like Brené Brown, Cheryl Strayed, Brandon Stanton, Seth Godin, and, of course, Roxane Gay. (All guests of 3 Books, too! Clearly we have tethers between our hearts.)   Where do we start with Debbie Millman?   Well, she's ‘one of the most creative people in business' according to Fast Company and one of the ‘most influential designers working in the world today' says Graphic Design USA. She's got a wonderful new book called Why Design Matters: Conversations with the World's Most Creative People, a giant, heavy, amazing tome put out by Harper Design which serves as a compressed set of wisdom and values from Design Matters.   Debbie is the author of seven other books including: How to Think Like a Great Graphic Designer and Brand Thinking and Other Noble Pursuits. She co-founded the world's first graduate program in branding at The School of Visual Arts back in 2010. For 20 years before that she was the President of Sterling Brands, one of the world's leading branding consulting agencies. What did she do there? No big deal: She helped design brand identities and logos for Star Wars, Burger King, Häagen Dazs, Gillette and even the No More movement.   Is she an activist? She sure is!   She's also working with the Joyful Heart Foundation to eradicate sexual assault, domestic violence, child abuse and the rape kit back log.   Fascinating and containing many multitudes, it was an honor and privilege to welcome Debbie Millman on 3 Books to talk about: how you avoid limiting possibilities, why regret cannot be metabolized, what happens when you're public about your shame, what makes for a great interview, and, of course, what are the incredible Debbie Millman's 3 most formative books!   Let's flip the page and jump into Chapter 97 now…   What You'll Learn: What makes for a good interview? How do you prepare for interviews? How can we find our identity? What are the different types of happiness? What is organic happiness vs synthetic happiness? Why is regret so damaging? How do we navigate ‘gaping wounds of need'? What can help a self-soothing journey? How can we heal from shame? How do we learn to slow down? Why do feelings of accomplishment not last? How do we orient ourselves towards what really matters most?   You can find show notes and more information by clicking here: https://www.3books.co/chapters/97   Leave us a voicemail.

When I was sixteen my high school guidance counselor called me a fool. He said if I continued to socialize rather than care about college, I'd have to go to community college.  First, what's wrong with community college? And second, this proves my point on why homeschooling is MORE social for kids, they aren't given demerits for using a potential gift (of gab like me!) that they have.  This week on the podcast I'm sharing: How this experience fueled me to eventually graduate from an Ivy League school Why I semi regret going to Columbia U Why my parents were right in not forcing education on me And why we should encourage our next generation to reconsider a higher education Join us in the conversation.

For many new and aspiring traders, the chance to work in a proprietary trading firm, is the holy grail of trading. It is trading's equivalent of making it to Broadway or being recruited by a major sports team or franchise. In this episode we talk to the co-founder and head of one of the world's leading Proprietary Trading Firms, Mike Bellafiore.  Mike is co-founder of SMB Capital based in New York City. In this episode Mike talks about the realities of working in a Proprietary Trading firm, and how the focus on learning, development and mentoring is such a vital ingredient which drives both the growth of the traders and the success of the firm.  Mike shares with us how SMB puts a heavy emphasis on learning and continual improvement, and in supporting their traders to become the elite. What you will hear in this interview is how SMB's focus on, and a culture of, continual improvement and striving for excellence, is the fuel behind their success and is what helps so many traders at SMB capital to not just achieve their dreams, but to exceed them. There is an additional aspect of this interview, which has relevance beyond trading, and which applies to businesses of all types, not just trading businesses. SMB Capital has made itself a ‘Learning organisation'. Its whole core being is built around learning, not just for the people, but for itself. It makes a deliberate effort to learn what it does well, what it didn't do so well, and what it can do better. An example of this can be heard in a part of this interview where Mike talks about how originally they had a plan to award traders who made a ‘million dollars' a year with one coloured t-shirt, then set another level where they would reward traders who made two million dollars in a year with a different coloured t-shirt. Initially they thought that would be an amazing achievement and never really banked on a need for more levels beyond that. But they have now had to have a new t-shirt for traders who exceed ten million dollars in a year. – As they say, nice problems to have. I feel much of this philosophy stems from Mike himself. You can see aspects of this in his two excellent trading books, which I highly recommend, One Good Trade: Inside the Highly Competitive World of Proprietary Trading and the The Playbook: An Inside Look at How to Think Like a Professional Trader. You can also see it in Mikes social media posts, always offering great advice, and praising employees for great achievements. You can follow Mike on Twitter @MikeBellafiore, he is a great follow. 

For many salespeople, a change in mindset encourages growth as you cultivate your sales practice. And on today's episode of The Sales Evangelist, Donald is joined by sales consultant and speaker Natasha Hemmingway to learn her 5-step formula to rewire the brain and think like a sales pro. With 16 years of corporate sales experience (and multiple years as a professional sales consultant), Natasha believes that sales changes everything. It gives us access, opportunities to impact and influence others and help solve their problems. Step One: Mindset Many sales teams focus exclusively on the numbers, hustling for new clients purely for financial gain. But this mentality just doesn't help anyone. Selling with heart means putting the client at the front of your selling technique. Serving them should be your priority.  Selling is a partnership just as much as it is a transaction, and it is the willingness to walk away from a deal if it isn't right for the prospect. Step Two: Communication  Communication cannot come without the proper mindset, and it requires an understanding of what you're selling and who you're selling it to. In your communication, come from a place of confidence, ease, and grace. Most small and mid-size companies need to focus on their main thing. Selling dozens of slightly different products doesn't encourage a purchase; it prevents it. Developing your authentic sales voice will help the client determine their best purchase (which should be your goal.) Step Three: Energy  How are you showing up to work? People know if you're nervous, anxious, or just want money. You just can't hide it.  Without the proper energy, you will encounter challenges converting sales and finding growth, regardless of how good your product or service might be. Step Four: A sales process  Solo entrepreneurs, small businesses, and even medium-sized businesses frequently don't have a sales process.  If you wing your sales process, you're likely repeating the same mistakes. A sales process quickly helps increase conversions and prevent these mistakes.  At a minimum, a sales process should detail the components of a sales call, pricing, follow-up, and closing. Step Five: A sales strategy  Even if your business is similar to fifty other people, your sales strategy and process are likely quite different.  People (especially in the sales world) mimic what they believe is successful. But can you deliver your authentic self while trying to be someone else? (Hint: No.) Natasha's main takeaway? If you aren't communicating and touching the human behind the payment, there's a critical gap in your sales process. Connect with Natasha on LinkedIn or Instagram, and visit natashahemmingway.com for free downloads, sales quizzes, and other excellent resources. This episode is brought to you in part by Skipio. Are you sick of crickets? As a salesperson, the pain of reaching out with phone calls or emails and not receiving a response is real. But all text messaging is not created equal. 85% of people prefer text over email and phone calls because they want to engage in a conversation, not listen to bots. Be more like people and start having conversations that end in the conversions you want. Try Skipio at www.Skipio.com. This episode is brought to you in part by mParticle.

I don't know about you, but I've grown tired of the narrative we've taken on as women over the years. The narrative that… we should be doing more. if we aren't at a certain place we must not be trying hard enough.  just being a mom to stay home with the kids must mean we aren't motivated. And you know the list goes on. As a new entrepreneur I fell for the promise of modern feminism and didn't notice the toxicity of it until after I had my first baby. I  realized that if I were to continue striving and chasing the hustle of “upleveling my business” while also being a new mama, I would slowly crack from the pressure. Join me in episode 161 of the Thinking Like a Boss Podcast where I discuss modern feminism, how I've made the conscious effort to ditch it, and how I quite honestly would rather be a 1950's housewife (

Whether it's because you do run-walk intervals, aren't “fast enough,” or always finish last in a race, these aren't qualifications of a real runner.

I've been speaking up a lot more lately about everything that's happening in our world, and unpopular opinions close to my heart. I've joined groups, had incredible conversations in the DMs, and connected more with like-minded people. We as a society are deeply craving community, the bible says we were not meant to do life alone. Yet so many are experiencing fear and distancing themselves from loved ones. If we are holding back and living in fear, we aren't going to be the best we can be. Rather than remaining paralyzed and feeling powerless, we can choose to speak up and live life to the fullest. Maybe your current situation isn't ideal, BUT today you can start by taking time to explore, spend as much time together with family, and really create a life you wouldn't have been able to before.

Editor's Note: This is a rebroadcast. It originally aired July 2020.War is a violent and bloody business, but it's rarely a no-holds barred free-for-all. Instead, codes of conduct that determine what is and isn't honorable behavior on the battlefield have existed since ancient times.My guest today explored these various codes in a book she wrote during the decade she spent teaching at the United States Naval Academy. Her name is Shannon French, she's a professor of ethics and philosophy, and her book is The Code of the Warrior: Exploring Warrior Values Past and Present. Shannon and I begin our conversation with the pointed questions she used to pose to the cadets she taught as to how being a warrior was different than being a killer or murderer, and when killing is and isn't ethical. She then explains how the warrior codes which developed all around the world arose organically from warriors themselves for their own protection, and how these codes are more about identity than rules. Shannon and I then take a tour of warrior codes across time and culture, starting with the code in Homer's Iliad, and then moving into the strengths and weaknesses of the Stoic philosophy which undergirded the code of the Romans. From there we unpack the code of the medieval knights of Arthurian legend, what American Indians can teach soldiers about the need to make clear transitions between the homefront and the warfront, and how the Bushido code of the samurais sought to balance the influence of four different religions. We end our conversation with the role warrior codes play today in an age of increasingly technologized combat. If reading this in an email, click the title of the post to listen to the show.Resources Related to the PodcastWhy You Need a Philosophical Survival KitThe Warrior's ManifestoThe Way of the Monastic WarriorThe Way of the Stoic WarriorThe Warrior EthosThe Warrior ArchetypeAoM series of Sioux guidesAristotle's Wisdom on Living the Good LifeHector and Achilles: Two Paths to ManlinessWhat Homer's Odyssey Can Teach Us TodayHow Soldiers Die in BattleWhat Plato's Republic Has to Say About Being a ManHow to Think Like a Roman EmperorThe Fall of the Roman RepublicLessons From the Roman Art of WarThoughts of a Philosophical Fighter PilotLe Morte DarthurAchilles in VietnamThe Bushido CodeEverything You Know About Ninjas is WrongConnect With Shannon Shannon on Twitter 

Want to raise children with responsibility and teach them how to become contributors? Looking for ways to make your capital work harder? Today, we're talking with Gary Boomershine, CEO of RealEstateInvestor.com about creating a family economy and private lending for real estate. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MOm6ZYP_4xg If you're an investor or business owner who wants to create the life you envision… tune in now! Table of contentsWhat is Private Lending?Real Estate Professionals Need CapitalThe Basics of Private LendingThe One Requirement for Private Lending for Real EstateThe Importance of the Down PaymentHow Do You Get Into Private Lending for Real Estate?Rule 1: Think Like a BankerRule 2: Have Your Own CriteriaRule 3: Leave the Paperwork to the ProfessionalsPrivate Lending and the Family EconomyLeveraging You Family's Skills Connect with GaryAbout Gary BoomershineBook A Strategy Call What is Private Lending? [2:31] “If we look at...the biggest buildings on every street corner in the world, they're not rehabbers or real estate companies. Okay, you've got a few of them. But you're not going to see a flipper or a rehabber. The biggest buildings on every street corner, in every part of the world, are banks. Why? Because their business model works.” Gary points out that many people see a bank, and only really view it as a natural part of their money cycle. They don't fully understand the concept of banking, and how it is one of the most profitable business models. He points out that the population has been trained to be a cog in the banking system, without questioning it.  Yet, he also says this: [3:25] “It's really easy to vilify the banks. But...you know what? The business model works. How can we look at things and act like a banker?” This is the foundation of private lending. Real Estate Professionals Need Capital No matter which way you slice it, capital is necessary for real estate investors. They can come up with the cash themselves, or they can leverage other people's money to make the sale. Typically, this is when investors visit the banker for a loan.  [5:50] “Who writes the rules for finance? Is it the hard-working real estate investor? No, it's always the lender.” If the bank is the lender, they want to see your credit and tie up all your assets in collateral. They also likely want a down payment. Then, once the investor secures the property, who gets paid first? The bank. Banks almost view investors as employees—they're doing all the heavy lifting and bringing business deals straight to the bank.  And there is tremendous opportunity in becoming like a bank and loaning your capital to other investors if you have the right vehicle to do so. In other words, you also want to leverage other people's money, like that of a life insurance company.  The Basics of Private Lending Gary's first lesson of private lending is that he doesn't go directly to borrowers. Instead, he goes to a hard money broker or private money broker. That way they can bring him the deal flows. The brokers talk to borrowers and handle the paperwork, as well as vetting properties. These are licensed brokers. Then, all Gary needs to do is wire the money and he gets a deed of trust (rather than a deed).  [8:25] “Private money lenders typically don't use their own money. They're using people like us. So if you have an infinite banking system, or if you have cash sitting in a bank account, [you] can go put that to work.” In such deals, Gary prefers to be lending in the first position (as opposed to the second position), because there is less risk. This way, the loan is secured by a piece of real estate, and he gets a fixed interest rate.  [9:05] “I'm usually getting anywhere between eight and a half percent, and sometimes as high as ten percent. Some people can get higher than that.” He also requests a 30% down payment, which mitigates much of the risk in the event that the housing mark...

In a past life I was a sponsored semi-professional poker player based out of Talking Sticks Casino in Scottsdale Arizona playing in the WSOP and WPT for 5 years....  I was sponsored as the "young kid" yet I sucked at online poker...  Why? My talent was reading body language and studying the other humans at the table leveraging social engineering and my hyperfocus to think differently and play mostly from my gut... Which lets face it thats much harder to do when you're multi-tabling online games on Full Tilt or Poker Stars. In this NFT space there are many places where poker experience comes in handy and as I shared on a past episode with "reading non verbal cues on Opensea" it can show up in many different ways.   In this episode I focus on: Trusting your gut and taking action in some cases just to test your theory  Study what others do and use that against them. Be the one that manages your focus and works harder than everyone else.   Projects mentioned on this episode:  Crypto Holdem: https://cryptoholdemnft.com/ Typical Tigers: https://www.typicaltigers.com/ Club GG Poker: https://www.clubgg.net/ As always the podcast is SUPERPOWERED by ADHD coin on Rally.IO. http://adhdcoin.com

Let's play a game for the next few weeks… I'll share some personal opinions that I see as unpopular in the media narrative and you tell me what you think! I am going to warn you that each day I am learning to be more brave and courageous to share what's on my heart {unfiltered}, but still to this day I struggle and worry about what you might think of me.  One day when I was feeling brave I recorded the first few episodes but then had several life instances happen that made me second guess releasing them. I immediately messaged my team asking to delete them, but the message never went through (palm to face!). I took this as a sign that even though my voice might sound shaky or I might pause or I might not spit things out as eloquently as I typically do because of feeling afraid, I'm still sharing these with you because I know someone is meant to hear them. One of you feels alone and afraid in your thoughts and hearing mine will help you not feel as alone today.  Join us in the conversation.

"As we practice unconditional trustworthiness, we notice a healing result: we are no longer devastated when others fail us. Our focus has shifted from ourselves as victims of others' betrayals of fidelity to our own commitment to trustworthiness. We still see that some people are not trustworthy, and we feel sad and injured. But as long as we do not follow suit, we are not so hurt as we once were—and we like ourselves more. This does not mean that we have become naive or gullible. It actually shows that we trust ourselves more. Then we become more discriminating in recognizing trustworthiness in others." —David Richo, author of Daring to Trust: Opening Ourselves to Real Love & Intimacy Often the word trust is expressed as a fundamental desire to find in other people, but what often is forgotten is how we play a role in both being fully trustworthy, but also trusting ourselves. Having self-trust, David Richo shares in his book Daring to Trust is one of the four types of trust we must possess in order to live a deeply enriching and fulfilling life. What are the other three types of trust you may be wondering? We will talk about those in today's post/episode. Over the course of this podcast, I have shared many discoveries from a vast range of books on how to improve the skills that will improve the quality of our lives (see the list of the most recent, the past two years, below). I found it especially poignant and timely that I read Daring to Trust as the year 2021 wound down. #318: How to Become a Secure Adult in Relationships, inspired by the book Attached #287: 5 Things to Do to Build Healthy Relationships and 4 Things Let Go (inspired by David Richo's first book - How to Be an Adult in Relationships: The 5 Keys to Mindful Loving) #307: How to Step into your Fullest True Self, inspired by Martha Beck's book The Way of Integrity #301: The Courage to Live Fully & Deeply, inspired by the book The Courage to Be Disliked #275: 34 Ways to Attain Emotional Freedom and Cultivate More Joy of Living, inspired by Judith Orloff's book Emotional Freedom #293: Choose a Life You Love Living Each Day (yes, it is possible), inspired by the book Nonviolent Communication: The Language of Life blog post: 9 Ways to Think Like a Monk, as taught by Jay Shetty Often we aren't certain or cannot pinpoint what exactly is preventing us from living a life of true contentment. Perhaps we have come quite close, have felt it from time to time, but not consistently. There are moments of deep fulfillment and peace, but it eludes us at other times, and we wonder what we have done wrong. For me, after reading the following books listed above (link to the episode each book inspired), I felt confident I had the ingredients to live a life of everyday contentment, and largely I did, but the said contentment would flit away when certain moments would present themselves, and so I kept searching. I told myself, there must be a missing ingredient I have overlooked. I must have missed a crucial skill for holding myself steadily in contentment each day. Turns out it was understanding what true trust is and how to be fully trustworthy all the while acknowledging that we (and others) are human. Both of these concepts are what will be discussed in today's episode/post. First, let's find common ground on what trust is. David Richo defines it simply as reliance on reliability. He underscores, "[Trust] is not dependency but rather an inner assurance, a confidence that gives us a sense of security." 1. Strengthen your trust IQ: Know when to walk away "We trust others when we feel safe and secure in their presence. Our insistence that we will spend time only with those with whom we feel safe increases our trust IQ. Over time, we become more adept at telling the difference between a con artist and a straight-up guy. When we feel unsafe with someone and still stay with them, we damage our ability to discern trustworthiness in those we will meet in the future." Understanding true trust in others and exercising trustworthiness in how we live our lives gives us the tools to know when to stay and when to leave. Richo's quote above brings to our attention the importance of how we hurt this skill of discernment each time we distrust what we know about trust. When we know we can trust, "we know longer have to protect ourselves" and the cultivation of true intimacy becomes possible. But first, what is adult trust? In other words, what is the trust we need to understand? 2. What is trust, adult trust? When I read the first chapter of David Richo's book I became immediately aware of how I had approached trust incorrectly throughout my adult life. I had placed the responsibility on the other to show trust or to be trustworthy, placing the power in someone else; however, I had it backwards and I disempowered myself in the process. Let me explain: Adult trust is "I trust myself with whatever you do" instead of "You will never hurt me." Sounds crazy to choose to let go of the latter statement, but again, you are taking back your power, taking responsibility for being trustworthy and being able to accurately determine if someone is available to be trusted. Richo points out that when we make this shift to adult trust, we remove the victim mentality and own our life, our choices and honor ourselves which improves our ability to observe those who are capable of being trusted as we move forward. By putting the trust in ourselves to discern if others are trustworthy, knowing we can walk away at the worst of it, speak up with assertiveness (not aggression) we exhibit security in ourselves. And when we demonstrate we are a secure individual, we attract healthier individuals to us as we are not seen as a burden to someone else, not seen as a victim in need of someone else's care. 3. True trust takes time As much as we desire to flat out trust the person who captures our eye, our libido, our hopes, to say we fully trust someone so quickly is foolhardy. In fact, we must count ourselves fortunate if we grew up in a family home where a healthy installation of trust as Richo calls it was part of our upbringing because we will know what true trust looks and feels like in others as we navigate into our adult lives. However, if such a childhood was not part of our life story, it is important to learn what true trust is so that we will begin to seek out those we can trust and let go of those we cannot. We forget that as a baby, our whole lives were placed in the responsibility and care of adults we didn't get to choose. Over the course of our childhood - 18 years or so - we either have a mountain of evidence that our parents were trustworthy to provide security and care or we don't, but it took time, and our parents were not perfect, so they made mistakes, but most likely, they are people you could trust. The imperfection is important to note, as is the time factor. Trust takes time. No matter how attracted you are to someone, no matter how hotly charged the chemistry that runs between you two, neither have anything to do with whether or not you can trust them. You may want to trust them, but you do not have enough experience with them, time with them or exploration of them to know whether you can or not. What does taking time to trust look like? We open a space to explore and let someone in, but gradually. We move forward when appropriate and accept when moving on is what will fit best based on the response or lack thereof from the other We keep our ego in check - we are not entitled to someone else's trust no matter how badly we want them to trust us. The building of trust is a two-way street, and each of us are in different vehicles having traveled different life journeys with trust. If someone hurts our trust as we have been open to them, we tell them - clearly but with courtesy - so they can know, and we can set a boundary and we observe if they learn from it (or visa versus - we listen we someone tells us we have hurt them and apply the lesson). Let self-disclosure happen in increments, not all at once. We are investigating with each interaction, listening closely, opening up gradually, and observing to see if the 5 A's (shared below) are present all the while exercising the 5 A's with each engagement. We engage with loving kindness, and also are loyal to an "unconditional yes to what is". We accept reality. We cannot control the other, only ourselves. We only have control over our own trustworthiness. "Our companion practice of the unconditional yes to what is directs us to be thankful for trustworthiness from others when it comes our way and be open to disappointment sometimes too." 4. Often sex is desired when it is trust we seek "Regarding touching, it is central to trusting." While there are the five languages of love as Gary Chapman talks about in his book which was the central focus of episode #87 - Romantic Love: What is it and How to Maintain It, touch is often something each of us is starved for. Healthy touch, loving touch, a safe touch. Richo brings to our attention that "in adulthood we may look to sex as a substitute for the touch and holding we need" when what we are actually seeking is a heart connection which can happen in many other ways of touching. However, because we know that other forms of touching prompt great emotional response, we are fearful of the emotion that will arise, so the sex gives us temporarily what we long for, but isn't fulfilling if it isn't with someone we trust. On the trustworthy side, which is something we have entire control over (we'll talk about what that is in the next point), when we trust ourselves (self-trust) we aren't afraid to express our emotions or let ourselves feel the emotions we have while with another, and so we are able to let go of our unnecessary inhibitions and extend touch - whether in an arm around the shoulder, a touch of the hand or a kiss. All of these actions again are exchanged with someone we trust and motivated by sincere exchange of feeling knowing the person with whom we are exchanging feels safe with us. 5. Be wholly trustworthy in your daily actions When we are trustworthy, David Richo explains, we are living with and engaging with the world with integrity and loving kindness. When we act with integrity, we may be rejected, we may even be laughed at, but because we are mature enough to understand how trust can be built with another, the opinions of those who reject or laugh or scoff matter less because we have strengthened our inner resources and know to walk away. We do not take revenge, retaliate or act in a way that is against our integrity, but instead engage with loving kindness. Richo shares this detailed list of the many ways you express loving kindness and integrity. Here is just a taste: do your best to keep your commitments, honor your word and follow through on tasks committed to take care of your body and your health (mental and physical) forgo taking advantage of others in a vulnerable situation simply because I have authority or the power to do so refrain from ingratiating myself to gain approval appreciate the love given, and have no expectations that I receive it ask for what I need with assertiveness, not aggression - ask for the love I long for otherwise how will someone know? accept, without judgment, the given of sudden unexplained absence, ghosting, or the silent treatment by others and do not use those styles myself 6. Build a full and healthy life: Rely on your partner for only 25% of your needs fulfillment It is not just a romantic partner we shouldn't rely on for more than 25% of our needs fulfillment but any one person. Why? If we remain in the child-parent trust model which is a survival approach, we are in a dependency-relationship which thwarts any attempt for a healthy, fulfilling relationship. Ironically, we are programmed to have our survival needs met - the child-parent model - but we must shift away from this comfort seeking and step into the challenge approach to living which requires that we become more comfortable with the unknown and cultivate more self-trust (we'll talk about this type of trust below). The shift occurs when we start seeking safety and security from within rather than outside of ourselves. When we make this shift, our world changes for the better. Our days and relationships more enriching and our contentment grounding. Richo shares a quote from Henry David Thoreau which I found quite succinct and accurate to describe what we seek in relationships, "I will come to you, my friend, when I no longer need you. Then you will find a palace, not an almshouse." So where does the rest of our need fulfillment come from if only 25% can come from any one person? It comes from the healthy social circle and self-care you have thoughtfully nurtured over time, and that doesn't just mean people. In this post, I share a list of different connections and relationships worth investing in and then in this post share the elements of a strong social well-being. Simply put, your friends, family, yes, even your pets, and of course your career, spiritual practice, Mother Nature and any other resource that strengthens your sense of safety and security make up the remaining 75% of your needs fulfillment. 7. Exercise, as well as be able to identify, the five A's In episode #287 - 5 Things to Do to Build Healthy Relationships, David Richo's first book How to Be An Adult in Relationships: The 5 Keys to Mindful Loving inspired the content. Detailing the five A's necessary to be exercised by both individuals in any mutually satisfying and fulfilling relationships, these 5 A's play a fundamental part in building trust. What are the A's? Attention Acceptance Appreciation Affection Allowing We are being trustworthy when we express each of these in relationships. We know someone is worthy of being trusted when they exercise them in return. (read this post to explore each of the A's in more detail). 8. When we have self-trust, there is no need, or desire, to control others "The yes of surrender to the limits in our relationship leads to serenity, the safety and security that happen from within us. Such surrender is our proof to ourselves that we really can trust ourselves. We begin to redirect our trust, an empowering venture." An intimate relationship takes time to build as both involved have taken the time to show they are trustworthy. When we trust the other, we gradually and then more largely surrender, and surrendering is possible because we hold fast and steadily to strong trust of ourselves. The surrendering has as much to do with being with another human being as it has to do with letting our feelings be what they will be in the midst of all the experiences that will arise. And letting ourselves fully feel these feelings without suppression. I speak largely of the awesome feelings that we may have thought were never possible. We are more comfortable with surrender because we trust ourselves to respond rather than react, to speak up with assertiveness not aggression when our needs are not being met as well as knowing what our needs are and why because we have done the homework of ourselves as well as acknowledged that we are still growing and learning and evolving. Richo writes about men in American culture and how often when men deny or step away from the potential of a relationship with a real, healthy and secure individual, stating the reason is because they fear losing their freedom, it is actually an inaccurate reason. Let me explain. If the person they are stepping towards is indeed real, secure and has self-trust, then what men actually fear is not the loss of their freedom, but rather the feelings that may arise when they surrender themselves to what the relationship, what the intimacy, may actually be and who they will become when they surrender to the truth of what they feel. In other words, two self-trusting adults who exchange all of the 5 A's create a space, a life of fulfillment without controlling the other. Why? Because we are not forcing the other to be engaged with us. They want to be with us because we each find comfort, affirmation, love and community with each other. It feels good because it is good to feel our best, and if we feel our best with them, even when we unintentionally make mistakes or life trips us up, so long as we are acting with integrity and loving kindness, the intimacy remains and actually strengthens. Such strength in a relationship takes time to build, just as trust does and that is why true intimacy, true fulfillment, true love, takes time and is never at first sight. 9. Strengthen your core trust and become curious about your own life journey Essentially our core trust is acceptance in the reality of the world. A letting go, a trusting in magic and truth of things beyond our control. It doesn't mean we do not engage or act passively, but we do not strangle life. We let it unfold while dancing with it. When we exercise our core trust we "generate a calm abiding, a serenity that energizes. The opposite of being in control is resting secure and being alert to what comes next." "To open to reality is to turn toward it and to trust that it makes room for us in that very same moment . . . all this happens as we let go of control and stay with whatever happens until it transforms." Understanding what core trust is and how it can open up our lives was an aha moment for me. In many ways over the past 12 years I have been exercising a core trust even though I was doing so unconsciously. When we take our life experiences and mine them for wisdom rather than wallow in them and lament about how things may have been different, we are choosing to embrace our journey and figure out what is our calling, how can we marry what we are passionate about with what the world needs - our dharma as Jay Shetty calls it and in so doing, our journey unfolds in ways we could never have imagined. We are open to possibility and brave enough to explore the unknown while staying grounded in our self-trust - our boundaries maintained, our values held once questioned and evaluated to truly be our own. "When I give up trying to direct the show and instead keep opening to how it unfolds, I unfold." Richo reminds that "without core trust, we can't relax our grasp and let reality unfold as it needs to . . . with core trust, we gain confidence that nothing can happen to us that does not offer a fulfillment of our ineradicable yearning for wholeness. Thus everything in our lives, whether from events or from people, is just what is needed for our unique story to be told." How exciting is that! How freeing is that to know that it is in the letting go, engaging, but not demanding or manipulating, that we actually infuse our life with awesome possibility. 10. As your trust strengthens, your wisdom grows "Wisdom requires us to open to what happens and be discriminating about what we let in." As we come to understand what constitutes trust in someone else, as we explore our own feelings to accurately access what our needs are and why we are feeling what we are feeling, as we communicate with assertiveness paired with courtesy our needs, as we experience the walking away and opening up to new people, as our self-trust grows, as our core trust grows, we are better able to know who to begin letting into our lives and who to walk past. 11. Understand where the need to control originates "Our need to control is actually not a need; it is a panic that our needs will not be met unless we take full charge." Richo's explanation of the truth he states above prompted many lightbulb moments to go off in my own head. I found myself shaking my head in agreement, acknowledging the truth of my own desire to control in a variety of different instances in my life, and I felt grateful to finally have found his insights as they helped me better understand myself. The truth is, when we demand to control, we let go of the core trust we must have in order to live a life of fulfillment. The ego wins when we require something go exactly our way, and when the ego wins, we are relinquishing the belief in our own powers. We are far more capable than we acknowledge in such moments, and letting the ego win keeps us in a state of dependency rather than trust in the world around us and in ourselves. 12. The four directions we give our trust In today's episode so far we have talked about self-trust (#8) and core trust (#9), and now I would like to talk about the other two because once we have all four types of trust being exercised in our lives, the quality of our relationships and our experience of life, thus a life of fulfillment, elevates. When we exercise self-trust we become better able to determine who is trustworthy and who to continue to get to know in a variety of types of relationships. Exercising self-trust in this way ushers in the third type of trust - interpersonal trust. Interpersonal trust - Richo defines it as "we believe that they have our best interests at heart. We trust that they will come through for us, stand by us, and be there for us when we need them. We believe they will not knowingly or purposely betray, disappoint, deceive or hurt us. If they do, we trust ourselves to handle those experiences by grieving and attempting to reconcile if that is appropriate to the situation." As we nurture a variety of interpersonal relationships of trust, we make sure not to place more than 25% of our needs in any one relationship. We do so because we trust ourselves, we have a core trust and, to introduce the fourth type of trust, we have trust in a higher power. Do not jump to conclusions. A "higher power" as defined by Richo "can mean belief in a personal God or in any force or spirit in nature or the universe that transcends ego and can be relied upon for grace and support. In many ways, our core trust and trust in a higher power are one. Richo is not saying our destiny has already been pre-ordained or even that there is intervention by something we don't understand. No. What he is saying is that we can have "confidence that no power on earth can hold us captive to hate or prohibit us from loving." This does not require us to have faith in a literal God, but rather to understand something we cannot fully understand but have the courage to believe in the 'friendliness of the universe'. Richo goes on to talk about Grace-full Coincidence in his epilogue, further encouragement to each of us to let go, act with integrity and loving kindness in each of our days, be engaged with the world, but not demanding, and trust in something magical. He poses this question: Does the universe position things so carefully that our hearts can open at just the right time? What mysterious power makes it all come together just like that? Is it that friendly? How can we ever doubt that we can dare to trust? My immediate response and annotation in my book was, I hope so. And so I am consciously daring to trust, to open my heart to that possibility and take control of what I can, which is only myself and how I engage. Remembering to exercise the 5 A's, remove the stories from my mind and walk with patience and self-trust along with all of the other trusts, grateful for the gift of being here on this earth. I dare you to do the same and am confident your life journey will delight and amaze you when you do. Explore the full book here.
