Bipolar Excellence Ken Jensen

After bipolar disorder? Yes. There can be an after. Some learn to manage or eradicate it. I eradicated it. Troy Steven shows how he manages it in his latest book "After Your Bipolar Disorder". Troy is also an aeronautical engineer and the owner of Battle Press, a private book publishing company.

Without the gym, I start feeling very bad. In all ways. About all things. So, on a personal level, I simply need to be regularly training. But to also succeed as a businessperson, I HAVE TO be in the gym! It’s very simple: healthy body equals healthy mind equals successful life.

Gird your loins. Protect your psyche's delicate parts. Because there's always hard shit. And there's always gonna be hard shit. How you react, or better yet, how you develop proactively to deal with the never ending hard shit, is what separates the men from the boys. Two life-altering sources of growth helped me see this clearly, many years ago. And the fact only becomes more true, the longer I march down this personal development road. It’s not that your problems go away. It’s just that you become a more highly evolved person, one who has the tools to better handle the problems that would have normally destroyed the old you.

This is for you “way outside the box types” who may have yet to begin.



You are meant to let your freak flag fly!



Don’t hide what sets you apart from the rest of the world.



Because your very differences are what will bring you fulfillment.



And your particular flavor of eccentricity is what’s needed to save some certain part of the world, in a way no one else can.

Perfection is a myth that keeps you from attaining greatness. You strive for it but accept whatever comes from that effort. Improve when and where you can. And give yourself grace by not punishing yourself for no good reason, every time you start to doubt in your mission's success. You got this. You're with me, for crying out loud! Relax. You're already winning!

A couple months back, I had a great interview with Kevin Stafford on the "Conversations with Coaches podcast.



I'd had ample sleep, prior to our talk, which had me in a lively state. And Kevin was pure joy to speak to, right from the start!



He later told me he wished I was his coach and that he was freaking out with the need to do something awesome just from talking with me!



And I shared that I wished he and I were neighbors, so that we could have deep and powerful conversations at will!



Part of why I do all this is so I can cross paths with people like him. They make my life more fulfilling.



Kevin wanted to know what makes me so great. Yet I found that meeting him was one of the greatest things I'd done in awhile!



People are funny.
