At least 10 people have told me over the last year or two that I should try stand up comedy. Would you share your opinion with me to help me decide if it is worth doing? I have had the feeling that I should also now for months and last night I just received a complete system for delivering it using Amazon to host the videos which would be explicit and then putting edited videos on YouTube and Facebook. Today I have learned that the best way to be happy is to walk the fine line between trying new ideas that have proven valuable and asking for feedback prior to taking action! After an overwhelming desire last night and this morning to get started, I remembered what I learned in Siddhartha which Tim Ferriss reminded me of in the beginning of his newest book Tools of Titans. First, be willing to think things through. Second, wait for the right time to act. Third, be willing to fast by facing the minor discomfort today that comes from planning the best long term solution without demanding life provide the f

How would we all feel if being employed was not so challenging? Would you like me to make a class on how I have employment I love today and how you can achieve the same thing? Thank you for being my employer today by hiring me to make this for you. Even though you did not do it by posting a job and interviewing me, you are effectively giving me a job to make this for you where I get to do work I love everyday that is useful for you in your life. What would the world look like if it was this simple for all of us? I am hoping to make a class where I explain how you can also do work you love and never “work a day in your life again” at a job you use just to make money. Would you tell me what I should include and talk about in this class? It will be published first for Skillshare premium members at https://www.skillshare.com/r/jerrybanfield. Thank you for reading this and I hope you enjoy day 114 of Happier People podcast! My exercise for today is to start working on my new class you are hiring me to mak

How fast will you notice the difference in what is new with day 113 of Happier People podcast compared with the last 112 days? I hope the change is a huge positive one and yet I realize you might not even notice it! Life is so relative that often what seems like a big deal to me is not something worth noticing to you! Would you give me some feedback on the change? If you are still reading, I will go ahead and spoil it for you! This morning I just changed microphones and added a preamp and also an audio interface. Before I was using the iRig HD microphone with no preamp or audio interface because it was a USB mic. This new dynamic microphone is supposed to be amazing and I hope what you hear reflects that! After a few hours of me setting this up, how do you think it sounds? If you would like to see exactly what I ordered, here are the links to Amazon including the microphone, pre-amp, USB audio interface, and cables.

What is a pain body attack and how does understanding it help me today? Eckhart Tolle describes the pain body in The Power Of Now as the collection of all past pain and human suffering. For most people, the pain body is dormant or not active most of the time. When certain triggering events happen, the pain body then activates which could be called a pain body attack. When the pain body is active, it seeks to feed by encouraging other pain bodies to join it and creating even more pain. In relationships, especially with a partner, this tends to be where insane arguments happen. At work or school this can be seen as acting out, a need for attention, a desire to control, and efforts to dominate others. In the human body, the pain often is expressed with physical pain including aches, sickness, and chronic diseases. Consciously experiencing the pain body attack allows it to pass quickly with minimal damage and to then occur less often. Hear how I today work through a pain body attack where I experience th

Would you believe that making the investment of a lifetime feels crazy at the time? I thought it would be more like awe inspiring or full of confidence or similar to winning big at a casino. The experience of starting to invest in a new opportunity that might produce huge returns in actually is a giant leap of faith into the unknown often in the moment looking more like a foolish idea. In December 2016, my friend Albert who works with my friend Robert at Wall of Coins sold me on how awesome the cryptocurrency called Dash was. At the time, the price was around $10 and had been flat for months. A data analysis of past history showed that the price had been as much as $14 over two years ago with the price then plunging to $2 quickly followed by a slow trend up to $10. Meanwhile, I was experience more financial insecurity than I had in a year and a half. Buying $10,000 of Bitcoin and changing it into Dash to get a masternode seemed crazy. What if I made a mistake and lost my money? Where would I get cash

How do we balance the need for fun, variety, and uncertainty in our lives with our desire for safety, security, and certainty? Endless innovation or constant never ending improvement is the way to get both a stable life full of peace and continuously improve in each area of our lives. Taking a leap of faith on each new innovation brings the feeling of risk and excitement we seek when we are bored. The improvements that come from each new success then increase the feelings of certainty we work so hard for in our relationships, work, and health. Just when I was starting to feel comfortable and certain in my filming studio after months of not changing anything, I realized yesterday it was time for innovation because I always need to continue improving my recording setup to provide you with the best audio and visual experience. While it is uncomfortable ordering $800 in new audio recording equipment, I also enjoy the discomfort a bit because the rest of my life is so stable. Considering upgrading my audio i

What works to end anxiety and depression forever starting now? After suffering through being anxious and depressed for most of my adult life, today I have a way that works to completely overcome nearly all negative emotions! Would you watch the video until the end to experience the same shift for yourself? The most helpful part might be where I mention about hysteria. Hysteria means ungovernable emotional excess and for hundreds of years this was a common diagnosis especially in women. Symptoms included faintness, nervousness, insomnia, fluid retention, heaviness in the abdomen, shortness of breath, irritability, loss of appetite for food or sex, desire for sex, and a tendency to cause trouble. Treatments included anything from the insane asylum a horrible surgery which removed the uterus. Today, hysteria is no longer a medical diagnosis. Where did it go? Did all cases of hysteria suddenly become curred? Was it just a made up name for a feeling of something wrong inside that now we have shifted into

What did I learn reading Tony Robbin's book Awaken the Giant Within at http://amzn.to/2m427Gx? Hear the story during day 103 of Happier People podcast as to how I started reading this book and what a positive difference it made in my life! Here is an exercise I did as a part of the book you might enjoy! In reading Awaken the Giant Within by Tony Robbins, I am completing one assignment here where I will explain the rules I want for my life in the for the following questions! What does it take for me to feel successful? How to I define feeling loved? Where am I satisfying feelings of confidence? When am I allowed to feel excellent? These are the rules I am making for feeling successful today! Anytime I take an action to help someone else I am successful. When I give generously such as on my free courses page, I am showing success. Changing a diaper. Asking for help. Sharing my experience. Paying for service. Watching a class on Skillshare. Listening to a book. Making a debt payment. Having faith. How abou

What if making a better world together is as simple as making one small change today? How would we feel with knowing how we can solve all world's problems with each action we take today? Would we have the courage to take a leap of faith to try a new way of life or just keep doing what we know even when it is not working? Watch this video to explore how all of the challenges we fight against really are completely within our control today to fix. With the ripple effect of each of our efforts, our small actions today have the power to transform our personal lives, the lives of our family and friends, our communities, our countries, and the entire world we are a part of! While knowledge is power, action defines destiny. Will we create a destiny together going forward in beauty and grace or will we run as fast as we can to all jump off the cliff together while saying we had no other choice? See another choice in this video which explains how a small and seemingly insignificant change in diet has a butterfly

Hear how I am able to see the good and the bad in any situation today because this helps fantastically for accurately assessing new opportunities and seeking ways to improve! Today what you might see as a pure annoyance in my internet being down when I went to record this turned into a new Instagram marketing and learning opportunity by doing Instagram live for the first time today. As Skillshare introduced changes that I also initially was skeptical about, I realized that all I had to do was start looking for the gold and I would find it. With each new situation I face in life today, I realize there are ups and downs which helps me accurately decide what to do best. In looking for the potentials for gain and loss in each investment I make with my time and money, I am less likely to get pulled into things that seem purely good or lost in feeling hopeless because everything is bad. Even being sick for me today has the benefits of encouraging me to relax more and work less! My exercise for today is to be

Hear me answer the question why do I have so many bad ideas and enjoy stories of my perfect plans turning out not so great! Get the shirt shown in this episode at http://jerry.tips/2lqYqtw. Would you believe just two days after making a jobs page on my website at http://jerrybanfield.com/ and working to hire ethical hackers on Upwork to make tutorials that today I decided to close the project and not hire anyone? How was it possible for me to have what seemed like an amazing idea only to morph into a big waste of time and money for everyone within 48 hours? Today I am grateful that I consistently follow through with the ideas I have and am quick to quit on an approach that is not effective. For example, I have made hundreds of shirt designs as shown in this video most of which no one has bought not even me! Recently I started realizing that the bare minimum I needed to do was buy my own shirts! If I would not pay $20 for one I designed, then how was I supposed to sell them? When doing my project for p

See my newest shirt which says Enter Zen From There at http://jerry.tips/2kWmymT and hear why I love this saying! Eckhart Tolle first shared this with me in the story of the zen master and his student. The student sat with the master and asked how do I enter zen? As the master looked out at the mountains behind the student, he asked if the student could hear the river running. When the student put his hand to his ear and listened for a minute, he told the master that yes he could here it. “Enter Zen From There” the master said. For a minute, the student thought about this answer. Then, he asked the master what he would have said if he had not heard the river running in the background. The master said he would have replied “Enter Zen From There." What do I love about this saying? The point is that zen is a state I aim to live in and wherever I am is the perfect place to enter it. Remembering this saying has often snapped me out of bad moods like self-pity, anger, depression, anxiety, and frustration
