Embracing mindset changes through life, business and faith. Many of us are held back from personal growth because we view life through the filter of old mindsets. I believe God created us with the resources needed to live the life we desire. Join me every Saturday as we dive beneath the surface to expose limiting mindsets, and learn how to live from the inside out, using your natural gifts. More at toksaruoture.com

Have you given up on a dream- but the dream has refused to give up on you?
In this episode, I continue the story of Sue Yellowtail, a woman who came face to face with a cougar in the wild. Her story is remarkable as we are able to see the Fear Response play out throughout her ordeal, and we look at the Fright and Fight responses.
Why the fear response?
Because psychologists tell us that the brain can't always tell the difference between real and imagined fear, so the response to that new opportunity or audacious goal is the same as if you were meeting a lion in the wild. Your response is survival. Survival from the danger of failure. The toil of hard work, the pain of uncertainty and inadequacy.
By understanding how the brain works when it encounters a threat, like a cougar in the wild, we can understand and navigate our response to the opportunities we are too scared to take.
The fright stage is the giving-up stage. The 'everybody's got to die sometime' stage. It's the point when you can't find any visible evidence of your chance of survival. It is the quitting stage. But that's not really the end.
The fight stage is when you are at that place where you are prepared to die fighting for your dream. It is the point you arrive at and say I've got to kill this animal or it's going to kill me.
More importantly, we did cover that when an animal gives up and appears dead, it isn't necessarily the end. Listen to learn about the window of opportunity life gives us to revive our dream.
