This is killing your brain
|
Staying on a dead end is madness. You know it. But your reptile brain keeps you down. Quiet. Without moving. There are too many dangers outside the tribe. Too much fear. This is the reason why: People stay in marriages where there is no longer any love People stay at dead-end jobs People hang on to old clothes and things they never use People stay in towns where they have no future People stay friends with people who hold them back Too comfy to move. Too comfy to admit that the absence of movement is killing you silently… but faster than you think. If you don’t practice a language, you lose it in a couple of years. If you don’t do any sport, your muscles atrophy in months. If you don’t use your brain, the absence of creativity, ideas, motivation will fill your day to day in months. This is why is so critical to be exposed to new stimuli. Exposed to people that challenge you. Expose to difficult tasks. Exposed to new things. Complaining is not movement. Taking actions, getting into something new is. Below, some notes of movement for your brain.

Don’t blame those questions, or the messengers. Fear is logical. In today’s world where you have to cover your @ss at...
You talk to that person and think, This must be someone important. Vice President. Well… time to listen. It was urgent. And my agenda always has room for interesting people. Then… 30 seconds into the conversation, you realize this is going nowhere. How he talks. What he asks. The rush to prove the title… something I wasn’t interested in. Well… Disappointment. Then… You check LinkedIn and notice the company has more Vice Presidents than assistants, associates, managers, and project managers...
These days I’ve been asked many times what I think about the Conejo Malo. Or Bad Bunny. Until the Super Bowl I had no idea who was the guy. I don’t listen to much music those days… So as he is only 31, I guess that I have not heard much of his songs. And still this is irrelevant. People like judging more than complaining. And my answer about the question is simple. Whoever has what you don’t have knows what you don’t know. And whoever has achieved what you haven’t achieved has done what you...
