How To Become More Human And Less Alien šŸ‘½ (According to My Wife)

May 21, 2019

My wife calls me an Alien all the time…

ā€œYou are not like usā€¦ā€

ā€œI don’t understand how you can do that….ā€

ā€œSome of us are not like youā€¦ā€

And I get it…

I am super focused on reaching and achieving my goals and don’t let anything stand in my way.

I have the ability to go through the pain...

Go through the pain with my business, with my diet, workout, and mindset because I know the pain means I am going in the right direction...

And I have been doing it most of my life...

But I wasn’t always an Alien šŸ‘½.

There was a time in childhood when I was very in touch with my emotions and was super sensitive.

And that sensitivity would bring out something in my father that I did NOT want any part of…

Now I realized the reason he would show his temper when I was emotional was because of how he was raised…

But 5-year-old JP could not understand that…

REALLY, 33-year-old JP is just understanding that NOW!

So what did 5-year-old JP do?... He put my emotions in the closet.

I put them in the closet next to my bedroom at the house we lived in with the pool, basketball hoop, and a huge yard...So it was easy to forget they were there with so many distractions.

And until now that has severed me greatly and led to much success...

But in an effort to get better at business it's REQUIRED that I unpack those emotions, and get better at being human.

So as I get better at business, just know that it is because I got better at emotions and better at being human šŸ˜„.

Where do you hide your emotions?

Hit reply and let me know.

Keep Going!
