Adam Lane Smith + Andrey Korikov | Fear vs. Freedom: How To Choose Love Over Fear When It Matters Most
Wellness + Wisdom Podcast
Exploring Guilt, Fear, and Empowerment in Making Life Changes
The chapter delves into a client's exploration of feeling guilty about transitioning away from their mother, delving into the underlying fear that drives the guilt. It highlights the need to shift from living in guilt to acknowledging fear and empowering oneself to make decisions aligned with personal growth. The discussion also touches on topics such as healing, self-regulation, co-regulation, and mentorship in the journey towards personal development and peace.
How does every moment provide you with an option to either choose fear or to choose love?
Adam Lane Smith + Andrey Korikov join Josh Trent on the Wellness + Wisdom Podcast, episode 650, to discuss why pain is the strongest motivational force, how guilt comes from fear, what happens when you don't know who you truly are, and why pity is detrimental to men.
"We have to have pain, it's fundamental. We form this idea that pain is bad. It's scary and it hurts, but we believe that all pain is going to kill us and that's wrong. Pain can make you grow." - Adam Lane Smith

Power Quotes From The Show Hunger for Love VS Fear"Internally, we have a hunger that cannot be satisfied by food, water, or air. It is a hunger for something that we get from this world. Can either be one of two things. It's either hunger for love or it's hunger for fear." - Andrey Korikov
Define Your Reality"In any given situation, there are 100 facts. Humans are able to handle about 20 of those. We can't really understand the full 100 range of facts. That's what defining your own reality is, is which 20 facts will I choose to hold on to and prioritize and adapt to out of the hundred in any given circumstance? So then we define ourself by that." - Adam Lane Smith
What Pity Does to a Man"When you pity a man, you're saying something so terrible is happening to you that I am scared for you, and you should be scared for yourself. So he has to find more power, aggression, and dominance to combat.
When you give reverence, you say, you are being challenged and I respect you for it, you're projecting love. And you're saying, I am giving my attention, my soul, my energy to you so you can fight this for the good purpose, you're empowering them. Rather than scaring them as you would scare a little kid, you're encouraging them through that reverence." - Andrey Korikov
