Confidence Hack #74: Someone ahead of you paved your way, and you are doing the same for others. In the mid-1800s, on the path known as the Oregon Trail, it took an average of six months for a family to venture from Texas to Oregon. Now, it takes 4 hours and 25 minutes to fly from Austin, Texas, to Portland, Oregon. If you are not seeing the fruits of your labor today, know they are setting up someone else’s path. And if you are finding it easy to walk the path towards your goals, don’t forget someone set that path up for you. Nothing is of loss if you view it this way. Today’s episode is about Henrietta Lacks. Henrietta Lacks, a 31-year-old mother of five, died of cervical cancer on 4 October 1951. Lacks’s cells – known as HeLa, using the first two letters of each of her names – became the first immortal human cell line in history.  All types of research and experiments suddenly became possible. Lacks’ cells were the first ever to survive and grow. Her cells were later described as one in three billion. HeLa cells went on to help develop in vitro fertilization and several chemotherapy drugs among hundreds of medical advances. Today's confidence boost comes from knowing that even if you don’t reap the benefits of what you are going through, someone else will. Keep going. And if you are reaping benefits, be grateful for those who paved the way before you. Hey! If you love this show, share it with family and friends!

Confidence Hack #72: A butterfly flaps its wings in Brazil and causes a tornado in Texas. North American theoretical meteorologist Edward Lorenz found something strange while studying weather patterns. In 1961, Lorenz was running a numerical computer model to redo a weather prediction he had currently been working on. Lorenz left the room and walked down the hall to get a cup of coffee. He entered the initial condition 0.506 from the printout instead of the complete precision 0.506127 value as he was in a hurry. When he returned, the result was a completely different weather scenario. The computer had simulated months into the future. Due to a minimal numerical rounding in his equation,  the differences more or less steadily doubled in size every four days or so until all resemblance with the original output disappeared somewhere in the second month. Lorenz’s ‘accidental’ study discovered that the smallest occurrences in one area can lead to a domino effect in another.

Confidence Hack #71: Pedigree only means where you came from, not where you are going. Even if you look like your parents and can trace your DNA back to your great-great-grandparents, that doesn’t mean you must follow in their footsteps. The word pedigree means: ‘the recorded ancestry.’  Technically, pedigree only concerns where you came from, not where you are going. Tyler Perry has become one of the most successful producers, creators, and overall talents in Film and TV of all time. He was born into poverty in New Orleans, Louisiana, and his childhood was marked by poverty and a household of abuse. His story today is a testimony of how pedigree and DNA do not define the success or the future you can have! Gain confidence knowing that no matter what your pedigree says, you don’t have to agree. Your upbringing does not determine who you are or who you will be. Remember, pedigree is ‘recorded ancestry.’  Pedigree does not determine destiny! Hey!

Confidence Hack #70: The best-selling book of all time specifically mentions confidence 60 times, and this is why that is important. Anything mentioned more than 25 times should open our eyes. More than 50, we should become very aware of. Not many words or phrases are mentioned more than confidence in the Bible. The main point I want to outline here is that confidence is not used the same way throughout. The majority of uses pertain to trust in others, trust in circumstances, and trust in God. We often think confidence has to do with ourselves, but the Bible points directly to confidence correlated with the word trust. Confidence is trust. Trust is confidence. Gain confidence today knowing that one of the most used words in the best-selling book of all time, The Bible, is confidence. Confidence in who God has created you to be. Confidence in the plan He has for your life. And Confidence in God Himself. Hey! If you love this show, share it with family and friends!

Confidence Hack #69: The power of collective intelligence and multiple mind collaboration. I’m going to introduce you to the beauty of ‘a group-thinking.’ No matter how smart you think you might be on your own, you’re not. You can be the absolute best in your industry, but your brain’s capacity will never reach the potential capacity of multiple brains working together. We need others. No one in the history of ever did something great on their own. Trust me, there was always a group or a team (even if just one other person) that helped them get to where they are.  Gain confidence today, knowing that you don’t have to figure it all out on your own.

Confidence Hack #68: Being the ultimate ‘glue guy’ translates to a winning culture. Shane Battier. From the outside world looking in, Shane’s skills weren’t flashy. He wasn’t dunking on anyone’s head or making the coolest crossover moves. He wasn’t even stuffing the stat sheet like you would think an NBA player would. But what Shane brought to every team he played for at every level was the most critical aspect a player can bring: winning. Adhesion and cohesion are the two main components in making glue sticky. Shane's General Manager, when he played for the Houston Rockets, Daryl Morey, stated, “I call him Lego. When he’s on the court, all the pieces start to fit together. Shane’s physical skills might have not been on par with the top players in his sport, but no one matched his IQ, EQ, and ability to be the glue guy for every team he was on. What if you were the glue guy or glue girl for your family?  For your company? For your friends? For the team around you? You can be! Gain confidence today knowing that being the ‘glue guy’ in your life is far more important than being the ‘star.’ Hey! If you love this show, share it with family and friends!

Confidence Hack #67: Not everyone is a leader traditionally, but everyone is a leader in some way. In business - the Lattice System is a hierarchical approach that directly opposes the more familiar structure of the ‘Ladder System.’ The Lattice System encourages more communication and cross-collaboration. Instead of waiting for orders to be sent down the chain of command, the impetus is placed on the employees to empower themselves and work in unison with others. Whose orders are you waiting for to take action on your dream? Not everyone is a leader traditionally, but everyone is a leader somehow. When everyone on your team is empowered (both in business and your team in life), people are more energized and passionate about their mission. Lattice systems give decision-making ownership to each and everyone’s daily rhythm. Today's confidence boost comes from embracing the lattice system in your business and personal life. It doesn’t mean you don’t take orders from anyone; it just means opening up to cross-collaborating with people you might not have interacted with before and empowering them along the way. Hey!

Confidence Hack #66: How to go to sleep without mind-racing thoughts. Do you keep yourself up at night because you can’t seem to turn off your ‘racing mind'? It’s very, very common. Anxiety never leads to confidence. However, a race is technically run to be won. So, if your mind is racing, you can shift the direction in your favor.  Before you go to bed, write out every thought on a piece of paper or your journal. Don’t leave any out. The act of writing out your ‘racing mind’ is giving your mind permission to store the thoughts that are causing you anxiety in a different place than your brain. Gain confidence today by knowing that if your mind is racing when you lay your head down, that is normal! Try writing down all your thoughts and mentally moving them to their ‘storage locker.’  They will be there in the morning; you don’t have to take them to sleep with you! Hey!

Confidence Hack #65: Performing mental time travel can help us remember our most significant accomplishments! Have you ever heard of the ‘Forgetting Curve?’  I hadn’t either.

Within 24 hours, they have forgotten an average of 70 percent of new information, and within a week, forgetting claims an average of 90 percent of it. Wow. In this confidence hack, I want to focus on what I call ‘mental time travel.’ Today, we are taking a trip back in time to remember when you accomplished a feat you had initially doubted you could do.
