Don’t Let The Seasons Control How You Feel

Have you ever felt a certain way as the seasons come and change? The experience of anxiety, depression, and other emotions in line with a specific timeframe or season has already become so typical for most people. Often, it's not even wintering yet, but some are already feeling down about having to stay home for who knows how long. Yet, unconsciously, they’re bringing themselves to a dream – a place and time that doesn’t really exist.

But I refuse to be affected this way, so I’m doing the work to plan everything out and be firm and upright about my to-do lists. So join me today and learn from what I have to say about the evolution of my consciousness, in line with how I attend to all my emotions, passions, and calls during their designated times.

“Whatever you look for, you find a case to build that, and you build it around you. Your perception equals your reality.” – Keith Kalfas

Why do you have to listen to today's episode.

00:11 – “Seasons are starting to mean nothing to me anymore, where they used to mean everything….”

Years back, seasons and changing moments used to affect my life so much; however, nowadays, my inner self’s starting to cool down. So I’m not letting it dictate how I live life anymore.

01:43 – “He said, ‘What is it like where you live? What are the people like where you live?... Well, that’s probably what you’ll find here.”

Dr. Wayne Dyer once shared a story about people’s thoughts on moving to Hawaii; the tale itself symbolizes how our perception equates to our reality.

04:21 – “Time is linear, and there’s something outside of time which is this whole quantum reality….”

When you’re constantly waiting for the season, you get stuck and lost in an ethereal dream in a time and business that doesn’t even exist.

06:01 – “At the end of the day, what we’re really trying to do is just feel a certain way. And I think that ultimately feeling a deep sense of fulfillment might be totally on the other side of discomfort, of facing fears, facing self-discipline….”

As I watch movies these days, I notice that most actors can’t correctly absorb their roles, leading me to the question, ‘what are the environmental causes that are distracting us from fulfillment?’

07:55 – “I went to write a book, and I couldn’t….”

I wrote three books, but there was this time when I spent 36 hours in the office, experiencing blocks and being unable to write. It made me reflect on the things we need to block out to get ourselves to focus and implement.

11:55 – “Looking at everything holistically and from a 40,000 view, you can start to get more clarity around ‘how can I decide in advance and predetermine how I’m going to feel when these things happen?’”

Winter’s always going to come; the storm is always going to come. So get up, and decide in advance how you will behave in situations and what you will do.

13:16 – “I believe you really want to spend time with your family, but if you are having financial problems and you’re going through a hard season, it’s also going to be hard to spend time with your family.”

My wife calls me a silver fox, which is a good thing. I wouldn’t trade how I think today for how I used to consider the world.

14:57 – “The storm is always going to grow bigger and bigger sometimes; it’ll be very intense, and you’ll have to learn how to contain that.”

Here’s what I want you to do: Get out your calendar, plan your schedule, and block out your vacations. Then, listen to me as I talk about the dichotomy of flow vs. structure.

19:04 – “What’s going to get me to the next step? It’s to bet on myself, put my money where my mouth is, and get around successful people. The next level of leveling up is money gets you access.”

How do you upgrade your consciousness and unfold faster? I discovered that meditation, getting yourself around really successful people, and taking action/risks can help you do so.

Key Takeaways

“When the seasons go by and by, and you get so desensitized to it, you start to learn that if you revolve your life and emotions around the seasons, you let the seasons dictate how you’re going to feel.”

“Whatever you look for, you find a case to build that, and you build it around you. Your perception equals your reality.”

“At the end of the day, what we’re really trying to do is just feel a certain way. And I think that ultimately feeling a deep sense of fulfillment might be totally on the other side of discomfort, of facing fears, facing self-discipline….”

“If you keep running your life like it's the first time this has happened and you can't get a grip on yourself, then years are gonna go by, and you're gonna wake up at 40 and 50, and you won't have accomplished the things that you've set out that deeply are going to fulfill you that your heart's desires.”

“If your life is all pure flow, and you don't have any structure, it'll be tough to get anywhere. That’s significant. If your life is pure of a structure, and you don't have any flow, it also will be hard to scale anything.”
