Remove Your Fear of ChangeI woke up this morning with the realization that a life-changing event was looming in my future. I needed to wrap my head around the mindset adjustments I would need to make before changing my mind and running the other way.All of us have made decisions that, if we did, would change our world overnight. Are you heading off to school for the first time? Are you getting married after being single forever? Could it be accepting a new job in a strange town? It doesn't matter how excited you are. It doesn't matter how well you have justified your upcoming change. It doesn't matter how adventurous your spirit is. Life-changing decisions can feel like you’re launching on a mission to mars without your space suit. But there's one thing I know for sure -Life is all about getting from where you are today to where you will be tomorrow. It's the transformation from what you have to what you could have that excites growth in our lives. So, what is that uncomfortable feeling that you have in your gut?Every one of us views ourselves as who we are on the inside—our identity. Since life is real and the future is not realized, feeling apprehensive is a natural response. What you need is a "Transitional Identity" to get you from today to tomorrow."I've always been a hometown person, and now I'm learning to become a citizen of the world.""I've always been single, but I'm becoming the best relationship person I can be. My future spouse deserves that.""I've never climbed this high on the corporate ladder; now I'm becoming the leader everybody deserves."Transitional Identities are a simple way to ease the fear of the unknown—even if it's self-inflicted.As your future becomes more accurate, your Transitional Identity will transition you into a new life, and you will become a new you.

Recovering When You Feel LostWhen life gets in the way, it can be challenging to know what to do next. No matter how motivated you are to achieve your goal. Thinking like a Pilot can save the day when that happens.A few years ago, I was a 150-hour pilot. I was flying a Cessna 172 to pick up my daughter for a weekend visit from the University of Florida—a trip I've made a dozen times. It had been an uneventful flight, then, about 15 minutes from landing, it happened…Maybe it was the heat of the day or the drone of the engine. In any case, I had the sensation that I had no idea where I was. I could see the airport in front of me, so I was aware of the situation. But I had no idea how to get to where I wanted to go. It was a terrifying feeling. Knowing I had to call the Tower in minutes, I turned to my training and followed three rules that any pilot knows will get them back on track.The first is to continue to fly the airplane and stay safe. That may sound simple, but how many times have you wanted to cover your eyes and hide when things got challenging? The second is to break through your confusion and figure out where you are on your journey. If you can keep yourself stable, you'll have time to snap out of any momentary rough spot and get focused.The third rule is to communicate with people who can help. With only a few minutes before entering the airspace illegally, I called Tower and said, "I'm a low-hour pilot, a little South of the field, and I am confused. There's no emergency, but I could use some guidance."That simple commutation gave Air Traffic Control everything they needed. In minutes, they lined me up on the runway, and I impressed them with a perfect landing."Not a bad landing for a lost pilot," they said.All I could do was laugh and be grateful.Sure, my ego took a hit. But I learned a lesson, picked up my daughter, and had a great flight home.Aviate. Navigate. Communicate. It'll get you there every time. Learn more about your ad choices.

Who is Your Future Self?I’ll never forget the day a mentor of mine said to me —“You have to become the person you want to be before becoming the person you want to be.”What? So, do I have to fake it until I make it?Heck no! I’m not going to change who I am - no way!“No. You’re not changing who you are. It’s just that you have to understand that in the future, you will have a different set of beliefs than you hold right now. That’s called growth. Whatever you believe, you will become.”At first, I thought he meant I would have to sell my soul to the devil and take on beliefs, not mine, to get what I wanted. But one day, I realized that day-to-day living is changing me anyway. I may as well make a choice myself.My thinking went like this —If I hold a self-image because of what I believe, all I have to do is create a future self-image, decide what that person would believe, and design a set of rules and actions that make those beliefs happen.What’s the best part?There’s no waiting. The very minute you decide what you believe, everything begins to change. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

How to be Effortlessly CreativeOver the years, I have produced over 12,000 podcasts; everyone begins with the written word. Even though that makes my mouth and fingers my most exercised body parts, it has also given me many opportunities to learn to keep my words flowing.If you're like most people, you have found yourself sitting in front of a blank screen, praying for inspiration. It could be writer's block, procrastination, or maybe you watched Netflix late. In any case, a simple solution can alleviate this feeling of being stuck, always providing a starting point.Any project I need to wrap my head around begins by capturing the ideas that flow into my mind throughout the day. Even turning the radio off on a 20-minute drive can provide a treasure-trove of useable nuggets. Next, I tuck those ideas away in a safe place without organizing, editing, or rewriting. I grab the thoughts, jot a note or record a memo, put them away, and let them simmer.When I'm ready to get to work, I take 15 minutes the day before to review my creative genius list, toss out what is not relevant, create a simple outline, and walk away with a sense of readiness, knowing I am fully prepared to begin.The next day, I can't wait to sit in front of a blank screen and let the magic start flowing effortlessly from my fingertips.
