I surround myself with epic humans.
For years, I’ve said my super power is that I am a nucleus. Incredible people find me, see what I believe in, and believe in it too. At Aviator, we recently had the eighth tattoo of our logo on someone’s body. At National STOL, we have over 900 volunteers who make the entire series possible.
In my personal life, I’m often confronted by new friends saying I promote all my friendships like a salesman. What can I say? I believe in people.
In our mastermind, people realize I am their biggest cheerleader and truth speaker to who they are beyond their fears.
I live for this.
I believe that all of us have something to give. Some way to make the world a better place. For so many of us, we just need someone else to see this greatness in us and give us permission to overcome the programming of our youth.
Our nervous systems end up locked in spirals of repetitive safety. Never really achieving that which we desire, always held up at some self imposed upper limit, we’ve subconsciously created to keep ourselves safe.
Fight, Flight, Freeze, or Fawn. Our biology pushes us to one of these every time we feel discomfort. In today’s world of endless dopamine possibilities, we tend to avoid discomfort at every turn. Yet it’s within these discomforts, our true possibilities lie.
Learning to partner with my nervous system, to create real emotional range, and to honor all that is within me, has allowed me to live a life that is so incredibly fulfilling, I am truly present.
Where are you holding back from feeling? Where are you escaping discomfort? What pattern do you keep repeating that’s keeping you from being wholly you?
