=>PLEASE FORWARD TO FRIENDS, FAMILY AND LOVED ONES <=\n\nHey,\n\nHow’s it going?\n\nI wanted to tell you a few things
before we got started on today’s
bipolar topic.<\/p>\n
What a few days it has been. Since I got
back from my trip to California I have been
faced with a number of problems. <\/p>\n
Fortunately I have an incredible team that
has been able to solve about 90%
of them in just a few days.<\/p>\n
Here’s the thing, I have found that
for whatever reason the person who has
one or more disorders who is stable
is capable of doing incredible things.<\/p>\n
I have a number of people who work for me
now that have everything from adhd, bipolar,
schizophrenia, depression, a personality disorder
former problems with various addictions.<\/p>\n
These individuals when under the right
treatment plan can do very well.<\/p>\n
I have concluded that having a mental illness
can be a huge asset if managed properly.<\/p>\n
I have again seen hands down that people
with a mental illness have the ability to
do much more, faster and better than many
who don’t have one. It’s kind of amazing.<\/p>\n
I actually have really bad “heat rash” which
is kind of like sunburn. I have no idea, it
wasn’t like I was hanging out on the beaches
of California. The only thing I did was do
my morning cardio on the streets. I guess
by walking for 1 hour every morning I got
too much sun. Now my neck and face is super
itchy. <\/p>\n
It takes like 2 weeks for this to go away.
It’s really annoying \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n
One last thing until we jump into today’s
topic. I know, I owe a number of people phone
calls back. I am working hard to catch up
and get back to people.<\/p>\n
A few people have filled out f.ree consultation
certificates that come as a bonus with this course:

Okay, today I wanted to talk about something
really important that people have a problem
with bipolar disorder.<\/p>\n
I call it competing goals. I think it’s a
serious problem with most people outside of
bipolar disorder as well.<\/p>\n
What’s this mean? Well it means when you have
one goal that competes or goes against
another goal.<\/p>\n
Here’s why I was thinking of this.;<\/p>\n
When I was out in California. I was on
a business trip. One person wanted to
play golf. I know all business people
are suppose to play golf. I never have
and had no interest. Plus my shoulder
hurt as well. So I was like, “hey I will
watch you guys” and tag along.<\/p>\n
So I did. After the 2nd hole everyone was
like, “hey you should give it a shot and just
hit the ball.” After everyone kept asking
I was like “okay.”<\/p>\n
So I did. I did pretty good. It wasn’t hard
since everyone else was pretty bad. <\/p>\n
So I was like “okay, great.”<\/p>\n
Afterwards, we were talking business
and a woman there said, “you really should
take golf lessons you are really good and
could be great.” <\/p>\n
I was like, “I am not interested in golf,
don’t have the time and have other priorities.”<\/p>\n
I know learning how to play golf takes
a whole lot of time. I have friends that
teach and play. Plus my dad plays all the
time and is really, really good. BUT, he
spends dozens of hours a week at it. I don’t
want to do that.<\/p>\n
This woman insisted over and over and over
that I should train to be the greatest golfer.<\/p>\n
After like 30 minutes of her going on and on,
I finally said, “well I know I can do well
at many things but it comes down to competing
goals.”<\/p>\n
Then I said to her how golf would compete
with my goal of growing this organization and
body building NON competitively.<\/p>\n
She didn’t understand. I explained that if I
had to take 5 hours for golf, that would be
5 hours subtracted from something. It would
be either something related to mental health
or time at the gym and that wasn’t worth it
to me. I had goals related to this mental
health organization and goals related to
body building non competitively.<\/p>\n
I explained that golf would compete and if I
tried to do golf it would cause the suffering
of my other goals.<\/p>\n
She didn’t listen and went on and on.
Then I went to the bathroom and escaped
for like 20 minutes and then avoided her.<\/p>\n
Then I was talking to someone out in California
that was telling me his brother has bipolar
disorder and is having major trouble. After a
1 hour conversation I learned that his brother
works in a job that has night and day shifts depending
on his schedule. He likes the job because the drive
is short. I told this person that the job is going
to make managing bipolar hard because it doesn’t allow
for a structured sleeping pattern. I explained how
his one goal of a short drive is competing against
this goal of being stable and high functioning.<\/p>\n
I then said, “I am sure that there is another
job close that can be found with a better schedule.”<\/p>\n
The person said he felt there was and that he was
going to tell his brother.<\/p>\n
The bottom line is, many people who are bipolar supporters
and bipolar survivors have goals that compete with
bipolar disorder and managing it well.<\/p>\n
This is a HUGE topic that I cover in ALL my main
courses and systems below:<\/p>\n
