Greatest Force Of Evil Within Ourselves"},"content":{"rendered":"<h2>Fight The Forces Of Evil<\/h2>\n<p>Four times a year, <a href=\"https:\/\/empowernetwork.com\/what-happened-to-empower-network\/\">Empower Network<\/a> hosts an event for it\u2019s members and one of those are called <em>Fight The forces Of Evil<\/em>.\u00a0 I\u2019ve been asked to speak at the next one coming up in Washington DC next month.<\/p>\n<p>You know, we have many super heroes among us every day.\u00a0 We have our police officers, our firemen, of course our troops.\u00a0 I believe our teachers and social workers and pastors help us in critical ways in our lives and they too are super heroes.\u00a0 There are everyday people who step into the paths of those who desperately need a hand, a hug, a meal.. and these are super heroes too.<\/p>\n<p>But I believe our greatest enemy\u2026 our biggest monsters, <strong>the greatest evil<\/strong> that we each face in life, <strong>are our own hurts, habits and hangups<\/strong> we all have that makes us feel smaller than we really are.<\/p>\n<p>These cause us to feel \u2018less than\u2019 and to live our lives \u2018less than.\u2019<\/p>\n<p>These cause us to only see the struggle and challenge in the lives we live.<\/p>\n<p>These cause us to resist change in our lives mostly because we fear the unknown.<\/p>\n<p>In fact,\u00a0most people tend to be comfortable being miserable and mediocre.\u00a0 Miserable\u2026 because you know you can and should be more but you don\u2019t do anything about it.\u00a0 It\u2019s too uncomfortable to change.<\/p>\n<p>Being uncomfortable shows it\u2019s ugly head when one thinks about a possible fear of failure and fear of success which leads to hesitation when in fact, there should be a decision to move forward instead.\u00a0 As human beings, these are most prevalent hiccups that present themselves in our lives and it causes us to hesitate in our decision making.<\/p>\n<p>.<\/p>\n<h2>Hesitation Is Sometimes Critical<\/h2>\n<p>.<\/p>\n<p>There are times in our lives that hesitation is good and in fact critical to our survival.\u00a0 For example, if you are approaching railroad tracks, you want to slow down and even stop to look both ways.\u00a0 You check and double check that no trains are fast approaching and when you\u2019ve determined it\u2019s safe to cross, you do so.<\/p>\n<p>I\u2019ve found myself hesitating just prior to jumping off the ledge to zip line 200 feet above ground level.<\/p>\n<p>But after the expert double checking my gear and seeing for myself that I\u2019m latched in good, while my stomach is nonetheless full of butterflies and I\u2019m scared stiff, I still jump.<\/p>\n<p>I jump because I know it\u2019s good for me.\u00a0 It\u2019s what I REALLY want to do.\u00a0 I know I must jump to be able to do what I set out to do, and that\u2019s ziplining.<\/p>\n<p>These experiences help me grow in every area of my life.\u00a0 They give you practice about taking action in the face of fear and hesitation.<\/p>\n<h3>Hesitation Is Also the Key To Misery<\/h3>\n<p>Those who have a tendency to hesitate find themselves waiting and waiting and waiting for good things to happen.\u00a0 And they have a track record of not seeing a lot of good things come their way.<\/p>\n<p>Well, good things do come their way but because they hesitate, they don\u2019t grab ahold of it.\u00a0 Those to do see good things and opportunities all the time.\u00a0 They step up to the plate and hit homeruns.<\/p>\n<p>.<\/p>\n<h2>What Keeps You Up At Night?<\/h2>\n<p>.<\/p>\n<p>The greater evil is lying awake at night\u2026 tossing and turning\u2026 unable to sleep\u2026 because of the loss of control in your life.<\/p>\n<p>Perhaps you think about how there\u2019s always month at the end of the paycheck.<\/p>\n<p>\u2026 maybe the car is acting up and you\u2019re praying it stays together because the mortgage is due in a week and there\u2019s not enough to pay a repair bill plus the mortgage.<\/p>\n<p>\u2026 maybe there\u2019s tension in your marriage or relationships because of the tight finances.<\/p>\n<p>\u2026 or your child\u2019s wedding is coming up and you promised years ago the wedding of a lifetime to them\u2026 but you have to say no and make compromises because the money just isn\u2019t there.<\/p>\n<p>\u2026 or maybe you want to send your kids to private school because the public schools are not what\u2019s best for them.<\/p>\n<p>\u2026 or your kids want to go to college and you\u2019re struggling and heartbroken because you just don\u2019t see a way to help them.<\/p>\n<p>\u2026 or you\u2019ve been suspecting that your going to be laid off from your job.<\/p>\n<p>\u2026 or maybe that\u2019s already happened and if you\u2019ll just get busy and change your course of action, you could turn this around.<\/p>\n<h3>These are the greatest forces of evil!<\/h3>\n<p>.<\/p>\n<h2>3 Things To Kick Devasting Hesitation<\/h2>\n<p>.<\/p>\n<p>It\u2019s about sizing up the hesitation and seeing what\u2019s causing it, understanding whether it\u2019s a life and death situation or just internal fears of others may think or whether I want to risk disappointing myself in my decision to do or not do a thing.<\/p>\n<p><span><strong>#1:\u00a0 When you decide you\u2019ve had enough, things will change.\u00a0<\/strong> <\/span><\/p>\n<p>When enough is enough, you will find hesitation is set aside and you will begin to take action.\u00a0 Most people have not had enough yet.\u00a0 They wallow in their misery, they like their habit of complaining about everything wrong in their life and how life has dealt them a bad hand.\u00a0 They hang out with others who will sympathize and they look forward to sharing their daily miseries.<\/p>\n<p><span><strong>#2:\u00a0 When you decide that you will do whatever it takes to make that change.<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n<p>When you understand that change is necessary, you\u2019ll do whatever it takes.\u00a0 It makes sense right?\u00a0 We\u2019ve all heard the definition of insanity is doing the same thing over and over and expecting different results, right?<\/p>\n<p>So, we understand that in order to get a different result, we have to do something different.<\/p>\n<p><strong><span>#3:\u00a0 When you decide to take 100% responsibility and never quit.<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n<p>What do people do when they fail at something?\u00a0 The blame something or someone else rather than looking at the mirror.\u00a0 Decide that you will take 100% responsibility for your actions and in actions, excuses and anything else.\u00a0 If you fail, it\u2019s nobody\u2019s fault but your own.<\/p>\n<h3>And\u2026 why did that fail?\u00a0 They QUIT!<\/h3>\n<p>It\u2019s hilarious when I hear people say, <em>\u2018this business didn\u2019t work for me.\u2019<\/em><\/p>\n<p><strong>What didn\u2019t work is the individual!<\/strong><\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p>The individual never became an entrepreneur who understood <a href=\"https:\/\/empowernetwork.com\/blog\/category\/mindset\/\">personal development<\/a>, continuing education, investing in themselves, turning the TV off and stepping up to implement and fail forward is how success is achieved.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>Rather than them saying:<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p>\u201cI\u2019m not cut out to be an entrepreneur and refused to do what it takes\u2026 God bless them\u2026 \u201c<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>\u2026they blame the business, or the sponsor, or the product or the pay plan or whatever else they can think of.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Make a decision that you are in this until you figure it out and enjoy the journey along the way.<\/strong><\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p>When You Do What Most People Won\u2019t Do, You\u2019ll Have What Most People Don\u2019t.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>I believe in you.<\/p>\n<p>You deserve to live the life you were born to live and on that note, I don\u2019t believe for a second you were called to lay awake at night worring about finances and how to pay the bills.\u00a0 I don\u2019t believe you were created full of dreams and aspirations, hopes and wishes but not given any way to achieve those.\u00a0 That would be a cruel joke.<\/p>\n<p>You were created to be who you are with the dreams you have.\u00a0 Stop hesitating and go make them happen.\u00a0 You need a vehicle to get you there.\u00a0 Empower Network is that vehicle.\u00a0 You have everything you need with Empower Network to get what you want.<\/p>\n<h2>Watch the film \u2026.
