The technique of it is this:
First you decide the product you wish to obtain.
Then you do. (Perform actions towards attaining that product.)
As a result of repeated and improved doing (or drilling if you are practicing to do) you acquire competence.
As a result of your competence, you become confident.

Most fear to do because they lack confidence.
But as the above sequence illustrates, that is wrong way to.

So a motto to apply in any area of life you wish to conquer is simply:

Decide the product,
Start to do,
Refine and do,
Accept coaching and do,
Continue to improve your do,
Until you are a Competent, Confident you!

The problem is we are not oriented to the amount of time it takes to drill and perfect our doingnesses to the point of extreme competence. So most give up well before they atain extreme competence. We look at someone really skilled at an action but do not see the enormous investment of time it took to gain that proficiency.

I read an article once that reported on a survey of all sorts of activities: sports, instrument playing etc. that found it took 10,000 hours to become world class at something.

This is one reason I encourage people to find their basic purpose in life and spend more and more time on that. It is a lot easier to persist through plateaus and difficulties let alone overcome serious obstacles if you are working on your basic purpose.

A man and his dog were walking along a road. The man was enjoying the scenery, when it suddenly occurred to him that he was dead.

He remembered dying, and that the dog walking beside him had been dead for years. He wondered where the road was leading them.

After a while, they came to a high, white stone wall along one side of the road. It looked like fine marble. At the top of a long hill, it was broken by a tall arch that glowed in the sunlight.

When he was standing before it he saw a magnificent gate in the arch that looked like mother-of-pearl, and the street that led to the gate looked like pure gold. He and the dog walked toward the gate, and as he got closer,
he saw a man at a desk to one side.

When he was close enough, he called out, “Excuse me, where are we?”

“This is Heaven, sir.” the man answered.

“Would you happen to have some water?” the man asked.

“Of course, sir. Come right in, and I’ll have some ice water brought right up.” The man gestured, and the gate began to open.

“Can my friend,” gesturing toward his dog, “come in, too?” the traveller asked.

“I’m sorry, sir, but we don’t accept pets.”

The man thought a moment and then turned back toward the road and continued the way he had been going with his dog.

After another long walk, and at the top of another long hill, he came to a dirt road leading through a farm gate that looked as if it had never been closed. There was no fence. As he approached the gate, he saw a man inside, leaning against a tree and reading a book.

“Excuse me!” he called to the man. “Do you have any water?”

“Yeah, sure, there’s a pump over there, come on in.”

“How about my friend here?” the traveller gestured to the dog.

There should be a bowl by the pump.”

They went through the gate, and sure enough, there was an old-fashioned hand pump with a bowl beside it. The traveller filled the water bowl and took a long drink himself, then he gave some to the dog.

When they were full, he and the dog walked back toward the man who was standing by the tree.

“What do you call this place?” the traveller asked.

“This is Heaven,” he answered.

“Well, that’s confusing,” the traveller said, “the man down the road said that was Heaven, too.”

“Oh, you mean the place with the gold street and pearly gates? Nope. That’s hell.”

“Doesn’t it make you mad for them to use your name like that?”

“No, we’re just happy that they screen out the folks who would leave their best friends behind.”

Please share this to remind me of it from time to time please.

One of my principle concerns with the current scene is the rapidly escalating speed with which human rights are being trampled. The lack of peace in certain regions is proof positive that these principles are actually valid and needed, more than ever.

This trend needs to be reversed. The entrance point is educating people that they do have rights. Hence this post and the request you share these posts so more people are aware of and insist upon their rights so that we can live in a peaceful society.

Watch the video and if you think so too, please share it!

Do you know it is a fundamental right of yours to have your own opinion? You would not think so from the way some people (including the government) try to belittle you for disagreeing with them but it is.

The late George and I agree to a T on this one!

I saw an ad from the CEO of VicHealth in Australia saying they care about people’s mental health. The government, care? I call male bovine excrement on this one!

First you accept the flawed projections from the now disgraced Neil Ferguson from Imperial College’s “never gets it right” software without doing any due diligence.

Then you allow the media to supercharge the fear porn into hyperdrive for months on end.

Then you ban HCQ, proven by front line doctors to be an effective prophylactic and cure for COVID-19 infection.

Then you lock down businesses and individuals, forcing them to do something never done before, quarantine well people.

All of which takes people down the scale so they don’t feel good.

Then you let the murderously destructive psyches loose, funded by taxpayer money, to do as much harm as they are pseudo scientifically capable of delivering on people who do not know that what the psyches claim as a basis for their mind altering treatments, a “chemical imbalance” is only an unsubstantiated theory for which there are no valid tests.

If the government cared one iota about our health they would have listened to the people curing the disease or preventing it and got us to up our vitamin C, D and zinc intake.

There’s an old Chinese saying, “The man saying it cannot be done should not interrupt the man doing it.”

Unfortunately we are ruled over by a corporate/government monopoly that HATES competition so they outlaw cures. And being able to cure COVID-19 gets squarely in the way of the fear narrative and profit machine.

After all, if the survival rate from last year’s flu was 99.99% and the survival rate from COVID-19 is 99.97% you might be well justified in asking, why all the hoo ha? Who profits from the fear mongering? The obvious answer is the vaccine makers. They have no liability for any harm caused by a super fast tracked, drop half the testing normally required (because, after all, this is a pandemic with no cure) of a new vaccine that irreversibly alters your DNA and has a chance of making you infertile.

You can see why so many agree with George Carlin’s oh so accurate assessment of government and media:
