Welcome to A Visionary's Outlook, a place where I share lessons, from traversing this journey of what we call "life".
The Perspective
The Region Beta Paradox:
The Region-Beta paradox explains how we sustain things that are just in our comfort zone, stopping us from taking action and excelling. Funny thing is, we would be better off if our situations were worse; because we would then do something about it.

My Story
(note, this took place before my last newsletter, on finding your "why")
For the past few weeks, I had fallen into a type of complacency.
I would allow myself to eat junk food on a regular occasions, spending around an hour daily on doom scrolling and wasting time.
There was nothing really compelling me to change.
On November 3rd, was when I came to a profound realization.
However, this only came from reaching a new low in my life.
I spent the day binge watching money heist for ~9 hours.
I slept at 12:30 am that day, way later than my regular 10:30.
I was disappointed in myself at how I legit had 26 reminders that i didn't complete.
(i use my reminders app to journal and for everything)
But when there was a meeting I had to attend, I immediately stopped my show and attended it.
Then after, I knew I should get back to my task but I continued watching.
That day led to my realization that I lacked self respect.
I respected other people enough to be on time, but not to myself.
I then reflected for an hour and decided to address this problem.
Life has gotten exponentially better since.
Lessons & Application
Genuinely ask yourself this question:
Do you respect yourself enough?
do you follow through the things that you say to yourself?
that new diet?
starting that business?
taking that risk?
really think about it,
you only have one roll in this game of "life".
Remember, its who you become on the journey.
Others.
