A HUMAN PROJECT

tony litster joins wes today in which we need to learn to love ourselves first and foremost. in order to avoid self-sabotage during this process, we need to shift the mindset from "if you really knew me you wouldn't like me" to "the real me is awesome!" instead of focusing on the darkness within, we need to recognize the light. when we learn to love ourselves, we can share our authentic selves with others and make change for the better. according to tony, there's a difference between intensity vs love. in regards to porn and sex, it becomes an addiction of adrenaline, no longer making a fulfilling love connection. the more we intentionally connect experiences with someone we love, we shift the addiction that porn creates into something good that we then crave. we get back to the natural laws that are self-evident in which are bodies simply tell us by how good we feel, and it just makes sense (like gravity). you chose the story, but then you take action; you start with self-love, learning to accept yourself with the shadow. make an allowance for the humanity and realize that we're all human. links to check out: beach prophet's 7 irrefutable laws with tony litster huffington post article on the root's of addiction A HUMAN PROJECT podcast about how to teach sex to youth A HUMAN PROJECT podcast on addiction recovery wayne dyer inspirational quotes tony lister's cure the craving site modules from superhuman.life

wes and ryan are able to make some incredible connections with jack canfield in today's podcast, in which we learn some little known knowledge of jack's childhood, which he described in one word as "challenging" helped shape the rest of his life. the energy we create around us is fueled by finding our life purpose which we can then share with others. when we are able to visualize something, whether positive or negative, we have the power to make it happen, so doesn't it just make sense to focus on the good?! links to check out: jack canfield the secret movie transformational leadership council in vail, colorado w clement stone history w clement stone net worth after passing away at 100 years old the success principles by jack canfield les brown romancing the stone catherine lanigan biography dr masaru emoto water experiment documentary the secret life of water book by dr masaru emoto love and gratitude to water experiment picking up another person's vibrations the heart map institute research A HUMAN PROJECT podcast about Wes's experience on a plane muscle testing burj khalifa, tallest building in the world chicken soup for the soul elizabeth gilbert TED talk on your elusive creative genius lynne twist, the soul of money institute tools for success: hour of power by jack canfield modules from superhuman.life

When sharing a message and it comes across as "I'm better than you" rather than look at how much I am loved, feelings of worthlessness and not being good enough take over our self-worth. Religion walks a fine line of condemning sinners and lifting people up to become better than they currently are. Wes and Ryan have a very open discussion on religion and share a few "secrets" (they're really not because it's so simple) that they have been able to use to help lift up others, especially our youth. Perfection is not possible, so instead of shooting for that and continually failing, choose instead to become great. links to check out: 6th crusade which achieved a peaceful decade-long treaty/holy war that was more of a relief effort "the meeting" between mlk jr and Malcolm x A HUMAN PROJECT podcast on human beings not fully developing until the age of 25 The Human Podcast Facebook Page Modules from superhuman.life

how do we identify the misconceptions of breaking out of shame? love your neighbor AS yourself. special guest kris vallotton joins wes and ryan in a riotous podcast talking about their favorite subject; themselves. if you don't love you, you won't love them, meaning everyone else. confidence comes from identity, and identity comes from god. developing a healthy soul is essential in our social interaction. our souls NEED attention. the more we value someone, the more worried we are for rejection. when we believe we’re not the right one for ourselves, we’ll never find the right person. love is the key. links to check out: kris vallotton books on amazon moral revolution A HUMAN PROJECT podcast on the weakness of love A HUMAN PROJECT podcast on second chances 1 corinthian 13 words on the wall about love modules from superhuman.life

we have become a society full of catchy titles and cell phone videos posted online with the hopes of going viral. so does that mean that we're suffering from a sickness? because the content has become garbage, what does that say about us as a society? according to wes and ryan in today's podcast, writing is quickly becoming a thing of the past. instead of focusing on real issues and problems instead of having a conversation about them, red herrings are thrown around in the form of unexplained phenomena. news has become a misconstrued version of one person's opinion tossed out as fact, without any fact checking or research. this has not only been used on even reputable sites but is now considered acceptable, so when we as a society are actually presented with evidence and facts, we refuse to believe it because of one person's opinion being louder than the sound truth. links to check out: boston bomber on cnn 2,000 geese fall from sky dead cnn obama "ruining wedding" on golf course and make up for it with an even better location isis world order alex from target viral photo usa today: california has one year left of clean water opinion canada ranked as #1 for smartest country and highest ranked countries modules from superhuman.life EDITS BY A REDHEAD Every so often, Wes and Ryan get their facts a little off. Little did they know that by having a redheaded history and English teacher do their show notes, they were also going to get called out when they don't get their history right. I'll try not to make fun of them as well, but you never know what you're going to get with a redhead, so sometimes you'll see this section and sometimes you won't. Below are a few clarifications from statements made during today's podcast: Princess Di was killed in a car crash in Paris Besides the fact that I still remember walking into my house after my first day of work from my first job to watch the news reporting the tragic death of Princess Diana, I also walked right past the very tunnel that she died in while visiting Paris. She did not die in London, Ryan!!!! Pulitzer and Hearst Clearly Wes does not have the soundtrack to Newsies memorized like some girl who shall remain nameless does. This same redheaded girl may or may not have also had a huge tween crush on pretty much every newsboy in the movie, but "The World Will Know" is pretty clear about which big business tycoons they were talking about. Rockefellers (they were oil big wigs) were NOT mentioned in Newsies, but at least Wes got the right time period, so that's something, I suppose. <a href="http://www.nytimes.com/1994/06/26/us/us-student-tells-of-pain-of-his-caning-in-singapore.

going from living in the back of a van at the age of 24 to sitting next to whiskeytown lake is the intro for addiction recovery in today's podcast. eric zimmer joins wes and ryan in today's podcast sharing his survivor story after a life of addiction and then recovery. just because we need to focus on our internal state, doesn't mean that we are no longer going to experience bad things, but it's what we do with it that makes the difference. creating a habit is very much like getting rid of or feeding an addiction. the treatment use to be to ignore, but now it's to realize there's a core that needs to be addressed in order to deal with the emotions that come with the addiction by using tools that work for the individual as we continue to contribute to society as a whole. links to check out: eric zimmer, lead voice of the one you feed podcast addictions and recovery aa's big book rethinking positive thinking episode on the one you feed podcast red bicycle in the secret modules from superhuman.life

as a follow up from our last episode on boundaries, wes and ryan delve head on into ways we can become more aware of encounters we have in life with some simple tools for success. there's a lot that occurs every moment of everyday, but how much of it do we really even notice? by being more aware of our surroundings, we are able to see opportunities to build on our humanity and create a better world by bringing awareness for a better society. links to check out: geocaching A HUMAN PROJECT podcast about unbroken movie ptsd and the myth of ww2 article new year brings new utah laws news article nomore.org for domestic violence awareness modules from superhuman.life

is it possible for a person with one skin pigment to talk about another person with a different skin pigment and not be considered racist? why are we still plagued with a person's skin color being their only definition or identity? it's stopping society from having a conversation. we find a situation where a few do something that we categorize all as their belief, and it doesn't allow progress from happening. especially once we see race before the individual. if we could help heal humans from labeling, we can help others from feeling oppressed, inferior, and entitled to act the way they do. everybody thinks everybody else has more privileges than others, but if we get rid of the entitlement, we can move forward. links to check out: redskins football team controversy over name paula deen was baited to have said the "n" word on interview A HUMAN PROJECT podcast on stereotypes and labeling A HUMAN PROJECT podcast in which we are all racist, even the victims of racism A HUMAN PROJECT podcast on the 2014 black friday pop vs soda map $2.50/day average living throughout the world for a family of four remember the titans, "left side, strong side" A HUMAN PROJECT podcast with chad nash A HUMAN PROJECT podcast on communication modules from superhuman.life other interesting links & references by Natalie while taking an english methods course to attain my bachelor's degree, I came upon a statement about understanding vs. agreeing, paraphrased as "we all need to understand, but that doesn't mean that we also need to agree." just because we understand something doesn't mean that we agree with what that person is doing, but it does provide clarity. based on a true story, in the movie freedom writers, hilary swank's character is able to eventually bring her students together by starting a messy conversation. if I were to give you an action step, i'd say go watch freedom writers in its entirety before following through on wes and ryan's action steps. It will give you more perspective.
