I can spend a lot of time by myself and I am completely ok with that. I even crave being by myself. I used to feel guilty for wanting to be alone.  I understand myself better now and there's no guilt. I like this article about Solitude vs Isolation: "From the outside, solitude and loneliness look a lot alike. Both are characterized by solitariness. But all resemblance ends at the surface. Loneliness is a negative state, marked by a sense of isolation. One feels that something is missing. It is possible to be with people and still feel lonely—perhaps the most bitter form of loneliness. Solitude is the state of being alone without being lonely. It is a positive and constructive state of engagement with oneself. Solitude is desirable, a state of being alone where you provide yourself wonderful and sufficient company. Solitude is a time that can be used for reflection, inner searching or growth or enjoyment of some kind. Deep reading requires solitude, so does experiencing the beauty of nature. Thinking and creativity usually do too. Solitude suggests peacefulness stemming from a state of inner richness. It is a means of enjoying the quiet and whatever it brings that is satisfying and from which we draw sustenance. It is something we cultivate. Solitude is refreshing; an opportunity to renew ourselves. In other words, it replenishes us."

"I just enjoy being different" Adrian Adrian is a real estate investor very close to his goal of financial independence. We had a conversation about gaining confidence, finding your purpose, wearing speedos! and being yourself. How did Adrian gain confidence to go door knocking? He took me with him door knocking and it didn't feel as scary as it sounds until I did it alone!! And a super bonus; what books did he give his wife to convince her to escape the rat race? I met Adrian a few years ago at a toastmasters club in Plant City FL. I have learned a lot from Adrian and am grateful to have him on the show.

"I've become more confident through failure" Josh Rudin How did a shy 19 year old, who wasn't taken seriously level up and build a home flipping business in the California high desert? Josh struggled with social anxiety, introversion and panic attacks. Have you worried you don't have what it takes to build your business; because you are introverted?  Josh is a fellow introvert and tells his story how he built his real estate business. Josh developed relationships, learned from failure (he had to evict his first 5 tenants) and leveled up experience and confidence. If you ever worried about asking someone on a date in high school you will relate to this (I did this twice in high school and got shot down twice). Stick around to hear about Josh's first date in high school.

I have this weird thing I don't understand well. I feel guilty for being sick. My health took a dive the last 2 months. I pushed myself hard to keep working on my business and podcast. Eventually I had to stop to rest and get help. I have a hard time saying what is wrong sometimes I don't even tell my doctor. But this time it was different. I told my doctor everything...I am getting help. I am even going to get counseling Want to learn more about your personality?

"What makes you different is your power" Jeff I met Jeff and Tommy at the 2018 #OREIA convention in Cincinnati (a real estate investors event) Jeff and I connected because we both relate to having some social anxiety of large crowds and events. This is Jeff's story.  Jeff Rabinowitz facebook.com/damntherecession biggerpockets.com/users/pharmerjeff  Tommy Desmond  tommydesmond.com/blog facebook.com/tommydesmond  Memorable quotes:  "What makes you different is your power" Jeff  “Some of the most intimate reserved things designed to be hidden from the world...when you show it to everybody...the fear gets destroyed ” Tommy  “No one reaches out to you for compassion or empathy so you can teach them how to behave better.

Some years ago my wrists started hurting when I typed on my computer. I ignored the pain like any other Macho man. That was stupid and after a few years of not taking this serious, the pain was horrible and 24/7. I spent years seeing doctors, therapists, surgery and doing alternative medicines searching for a cure. And I didn't know exactly what was wrong!? The pain started in my wrists and after many years it spread to my forearms, hands, back, neck, feet! I am still not 100% sure what this is.  After many tests and doctors, I was give many diagnosis. It may be Carpal Tunnel, repetitive stress, tendonitis, spine issues or my mind. Reading books like “It’s Not carpal Tunnel Syndrome” by Suparna Damany, physical therapy, rest, exercise, posture and meditation helped me. I am now able to manage the pain and I believe I will heal myself with time.  Disclosure: This post contains affiliate links and I receive a commission if you visit a link and buy something on my recommendation.

I had some misunderstandings about introverts.  I thought I was an introvert but really what does that mean? I thought I was stuck! I am not just an introvert its way more complicted.  We screw up all the time. I used to be too critical of myself for messing up. If I did something stupid I would criticize myself harshly.  Its ok to mess up  Thank you AJ and Christian at the Borderline Idealist podcast for inspiring me to continue recording!  Want to learn more about your personality?

I was afraid to be myself for years. I pretended to be comfortable in social events, parties, work meetings. But inside I was struggling; so afraid of being judged and saying something stupid. Then I read a book called Quiet by Susan Cain. This book changed my life.  I am learning to be myself and I want to share some of the darkest secrets about my personality. I hope you find this useful.   Disclosure: This post contains affiliate links and I receive a commission if you visit a link and buy something on my recommendation.
