"My mission in life is to help you achieve your mission in life."

Hope

It was precisely at 8:10 AM on June, 10, 1968, when I was discharged from the US Army at Fort Meade, Maryland.

I was stationed with the 6th Armored Calvary. In April of 1968 we were deployed as riot control troops in Washington DC, after Martin Luther King was assassinated, and now Presidential hopeful, Bobby Kennedy was assassinated and my former unit was on alert to be in Baltimore or Washington D.C., if any riots broke out there.

For me, however, my hitch in the Army was over and I was heading home.

All of my clothing was stuffed unceremoniously in my army duffel bag along with my shaving kit. I had $200.00 in my wallet representing my net worth.

I remember walking to the cab stand at Fort Meade, to head over to the airport in Baltimore to fly to Illinois where my parents lived at the time. Today was Monday and I was set to start summer school at Northern Illinois University in DeKalb, Illinois on Wednesday, June 12. In a few hours, I will be “back on the street again.”

The overwhelming feeling that consumed me at this time is the same overwhelming feeling consuming me forty one years later is one of “hope.”

As I walked to few blocks over to the cab stand, I remember not feeling my feet touch the pavement. It was if I was gliding through the air. Once the cab reached the airport in Baltimore, I reached in my wallet and gave the cab driver one-hundred dollars for a twelve dollar fair. I told the cab driver to keep the change.

In my stupor of hope, I just handed the driver one-half of my net worth, as I headed toward a new sense of adventure and of hope.

I never really thought about that gesture, until today.

In the United States today, all I read about in the newspapers or on the Internet, is how everything is so economically depressed. It is even suggested in the newspapers and coming from politicians everywhere that the American Dream is dead…that we all need to consume less, spend less be less, and have less.

I find that way of thinking insulting and totally wrong.

I am sure that is what all of our parents sacrificed for as we were growing up and what our men and women in the military died for and still die for, to preserve our freedom.

Coming out of that short period of time that had two inspirational leaders killed because they saw a better America, I could understand only one path to pursue.

The path that I took and that I will always take is one of “hope.”

Hope will navigate you beyond other’s limited expectations.

Hope will give you a positive outlook that will wake you up early in the morning.

Hope will excite you everyday to do your best in spite of adversity.

Exactly forty one years ago today, I gave away half of my fortune in return to keep something alive.

What I wanted to keep alive and want to keep alive today is “hope.”



I wish you "hope."

”Annihilate stress and propagate hope.”

What is Core Stress?

“I want to’s and I have to’s,” “Core Stress at its Best.”


There is a basic type of stress all of us experience on a daily basis.

This stress is called “core stress,” by some psychologists. What core stress refers to is the difference between how you feel when confronted by what you want to do and what you have to do.

For example, the statement “I cannot go with you today to the soccer game, because my Father says I have to cut the grass in the yard.” Obviously this person has stress surrounding the job of cutting grass when confronted with another option, “going to the soccer game.”

When you personally experience the difference between what you want to do and what we want to do, our bodies take over in the flight or fight mode. We will either want to run away from the whole experience or we will want to stand and fight.

Over a thousand identifiable chemicals are dumped into your bloodstream including epinephrine, (adrenalin) so your entire body is subject to the effects of a racing heart and chemical production you do not really want to experience.

On the flip side of the equation, what happens when you are confronted with an “I want to situation?”

Example: “I want to go to the baseball game.” “My Father said, if I get an offer to go to the big baseball game, go ahead and go to the game.” “I will be able to cut the grass tomorrow.”

When you are in the “I want to” state of mind and body, your body functions normally and is in equilibrium. This is the state of mind and body you want to be in unless your life is severely threatened and you need your flight or fight instinct.


What Can I do About Keeping the Chemicals out of My Bloodstream?

In order to keep your mind and body in harmony and in physiological equilibrium you need to change your “I have to’s” into “I want to’s.”

Once you do that, you will eliminate “core stress” from that social interaction.

For an example: “I am not going with you to the soccer game, because I want to cut the grass today for my Father.” “It is very important for him to have the yard looking nice.” “There will be plenty of soccer games for us to attend in the future.” “I look forward to that time.”

How does this work in my business?

Let us say you are a sales manager rolling out a new compensation program for your sales team. In-stead of telling your sales team, “You are going to have to sell 10,000 more widgets a month,” thus projecting the “have to” flight or fight response,” say it this way, “You are going “to want” to sell 10,000 more widgets a month in order go receive the top sales bonus.”

Each sales team member needs to rationalize and then internalize, that “I want to sell 10,000 more widgets this month,” rather than, “I have to sell 10,000 more widgets this month.”

Exercise: Exorcising Have To’s

As an exercise note how many times today, you run across a person saying, “I have to” rather than, “I want to.” Jot down the situation surrounding the event and then ask yourself, how can I turn these “I have to’s into I want to’s.”

Then notice in your own conversation, the circumstances surrounding your “I have to’s” that come out of your mouth each day. Turn those into “I want to’s, “by finding positive personal benefits in each instance.

You will find yourself reducing your flight or fight response and the negative physiological effects of the number of those responses.

Summary:

Flight or fight responses emerge from “core stress.” Core stress happens when we are doing or even thinking about things we “have to” do, rather than doing things we “want to” do. By writing down occurrences of “I have to’s” and using positive statements in changing those to “I want to’s,” you can create the physiological equilibrium and harmony you need to enjoy your job and your life.
