Today, I get excited to have the chance to fail at things. I am excited each day to have the opportunity to experience new things. For most of my adult life I often avoided trying new things for fear of the unknown, however I wasn't always this way. As a child I was always eager to try new things. So, today I try and embrace failure as a potential outcome because it is the only way to properly learn new things.

Breaking big overwhelming tasks into small parts. Life is filled with big overwhelming tasks that seem almost impossible to accomplish. Things like obtaining a college degree, locating a great job, and finding a person to date often seem like too much to handle up front, and it's almost better to dive into to these tasks not knowing how much work is involved. Today, I breakdown big tasks into small individual components I can complete each day.

For much of my life I resented the attacks and criticisms people put on me. When a teacher would give me a bad grade on a paper, I resented that.

Today I listened to the small voice that warns against temptation. Most of my adult life I started to trust my own judgement, and stopped listening to that little voice in the back of my head. I started having a lot of bad things happen in my life because I was annoying that voice of reason.

Freedom from fear is available now. There's nothing that can happen to you, or that has happened to you, that won't fade away in time. They say time heals everything, and this gives me peace and reassurance that I don't need to be afraid, and that I don't need to endlessly agonize over the past. This helps me at times when I am in fear of something. I hope this power thought is useful for you, and I appreciate your feedback! --- Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/jerrybanfield/support

Be the change you want to see in the world. This has been a relatively new concept for me, because most of my life I thought the world should change around me, how I saw fit.
