Survival in the midst of demo

Survival is a subject of which I am well acquainted. I have survived much including fire, flood, and famine. Today I continued surviving after heart surgery, which makes getting energy difficult at times.

I did not analyze yesterday. Doctor's appointments and such. (Yet how much time did I waste?) I did do three properties today with potential positive outcomes.

On survival, scientists tell us (via Tony Robbins) that we have a prehistoric brain built for only one thing - to keep us safe and alive. Our whole makeup is designed around that. Thus, anything that is a perceived danger or fear is considered a threat and to be avoided. The cave man stays in his cave, dry and warm, and only the necessity of food brings him out.

What has this got to do with real estate? In trying something new there is an element of fear; of the unknown, of failure, of pain and exposure to the elements. Fear is just a reaction to that which we don't understand. Once we understand it, it then becomes a tool for us, like our cave man with fire.

We have three reactions to threat; fight, flight, or freeze. We can, as Brandon says, run and go watch "Dancing With the Stars". We can grind to a halt, or we can solve the problem.

I choose option C. In flying, I'm taught to constantly assess the problem, and come up with solutions, but never make it bigger than it is. Back to checklists and process. 

Anyway that's what I'm doing, figuring out what this "fire thing" can do for me, and telling my cave man brain where to go. I'm not feeling that well, so sorry if this is not so inspiring.

Keep fighting. I wish you all well.
