Co-Founder: Axistence What if you could influence everyone around you? (Spoiler Alert: YOU CAN) Jim Rohn once said, we are the average of the five people we spend the most time with. That is to say that our thoughts, behaviors, habits, and actions are a sort of combination of those we associate with the most. The way we dress, the food we eat, the music we listen to, our income level, and how we respond to our environment is all relative to our social circles. We want to fit in. We want to belong. We don't want to rock the boat, and we really don't do well in isolation. Although we like to think that we're independent, we're also highly influenced by those close to us.

By Ryan Humphries Co-Founder: Axistence Danger is real. Fear on the other hand, that's a choice. Pretty sure that was a Will Smith quote from his movie “After Earth” but whoever said it, it's true (sort of). The initial fear response is NOT necessarily a choice. It’s something that’s activated in our brain (specifically the amygdala) in response to a perceived threat. If that threat is imminent, then the fear response did its job. However, if the imminent threat passes and you’re still living in a constant state of fear, that my friends IS a choice. The coronavirus is REAL. The impact it’s having on our healthcare system and our global economy, it’s all REAL. Being afraid of it, as well as being afraid of running out of TP, hand sanitizer, and non-perishables, that’s a choice. What’s the difference between a Doomsday Prepper and a toilet paper hoarder? |
