Justification Trolls - Eric's Brain vs. Mine, ROARS affecting LEAF calls, Guilt trolls, ...

TROLL: Eric's Brain vs. Mine:

This troll basically says, Eric has it easier than I do because he's not as clouded with thoughts / I have an over-thinking problem / ETC.

Thinking about it this way serves me by making me not worry so much about my performance, and is a stress reliever, it excuses me from my guilt.

There's layers of problems here.  One being a GUILT troll.

• TROLL: GUILT:Why feel guilty and self hatred, vs. simply embracing that feeling as an exhilarating push forward?
  
  Being controlled by guilt is just stupid.  It's like anxiety -- simply mis-used energy.
  
  REPROGRAM: Guilt should always be a sign that I'm standing in front of a wall that I need to push through. Hating yourself because of a percieved, repeating behavior?  Well then "DONT LET THAT HAPPEN" (do the opposite behavior instead, right???  Why are you resigned??)

REPROGRAM (Eric's Brain vs. Mine):

Isn't this BLAMING & FOCUSING ON THE CATCH?  Wouldn't it be better to focus on a 1-up here and focus on "stone building" as you put it?

What, exactly, makes you feel this way, and what's one way you can think less / move on / etc to be more like Eric?

Why not think of one way you can make your brain more like how you want it to be instead of thinking about why you're a failure?

....

ROARS affecting LEAF calls:

This troll says "I'm working 60 hours a week, so that's why I can chill out a little on my call stats."

It's the EXACT OPPOSITE of everything you're trying to build and has "mass affect" of negative, mixed messaging that's screwing up all the neural pathways I'm trying to build.


REPROGRAM:

If it's all about ENJOYING pain and being excited when it happens...

...then the MORE you work and the MORE INTENSE you are the ENTIRE TIME, the MORE YOU HAVE TO ENJOY.

I'm not crazy -- I know you're not Cobey -- and Eric acknowledges that more hours is often WORSE.

But just because you're not a 6-7 yet doesn't mean things wouldn't be MORE ENJOYABLE if you got there.

On the contrary, as a 6-7 things would be so easy and more enjoyable that to even continue as a 6-7 you'd have to be making at least 80-100 calls a day while working many deals and working on ROARS for hours once you got home.

Making 70 calls and only working a few deals simply isn't enough work to maintain that level of size.  The size is a result of overcoming obstacles, without obstacles, there's no size... like effort, size is a comparison of two things.
