Bushman Prank: Fear of Imminent Disappointment 2024!!

What up Bush Fam!! I was going to title this video, “Bushman Prank: I made this video on PURPORSE. Then I started thinking about where we are in the world and felt this title was more appropriate. The time is currently 3:44pm cst in San Antonio, Texas, USA. I am sitting here waiting for this video to upload sipping my coffee, black, thinking to myself. Why do humans live in a constant state of fear? Should we live in fear? Do we live in fear? Is it fair to say we live in any emotion? Humans are complex and filled with a variety of different emotions. I remember sitting in a Taco Bell/KFC line for the first time. At that age I was a forced avid supporter of Taco Bell through the struggle of being broke. I ate there daily at some points. I rarely eat any fast food now since I’ve been on a Keto diet since last September. But back then years ago I would usually order the same thing after work, everyday. Two Chalupa burritos with a crunchy taco and a Baja blast. Simple. But that day was new. I was surprised to see two giant food companies merge and was curious to see how that would work. When I pulled up to the drive-thru I’m lucky no one was behind me because I’ll never forget the amount of options that were on that updated Taco Bell/KFC menu. This was gonna take a minute. They even had to get a bigger base to hold the new menu. It was so much food to choose from. I sat in my Impala for a good 2-3 minutes, frozen. Funny thing is after all that time of staring at the menu up and down, left and right, I ended up choosing two Chalupa burritos with a crunchy taco and a Baja blast. I learned a lesson that day. For me, too many options wasn’t necessarily a good thing because I was afraid of ordering something new and I wouldn’t like it. But Joe, what does that have to do with Fear of Imminent Disappointment? My response would be, everything. The world seems frozen in fear. We are afraid of failure. We are afraid of disappointment. Fearful of Artificial Intelligence. We are afraid to say the wrong thing. We are afraid of being authentic. We are afraid of anything that lessens our comfort. We are afraid to be human. When you live inside of any emotion you become frozen and beholden to everything that emotion brings. Too much of anything isn’t good for you. Life needs balance. Fear is a strong emotion that is a precursor and often becomes overpowering to the point of inaction, separation, and retreat. Fear is usually the deciding factor in shaping our daily habits and routines and even our character. How far we go in life can be determined by fear. Humans are so complex but in the same breathe I would argue we are all innately very simple creatures. Why do we eat? Why do we sleep? Why do we blink? If you ask me fear steers the ship. Fight or flight. Our bodies know this or that. Good for us or Bad for us. What happens if we don’t eat? What happens when we don’t sleep? What happens if I just stopped blinking? Eventually all roads lead to facing our fears and forming positive habits OR constantly living in survival mode and retreating in life, frozen in fear. Fear is a protector and an enabler but there has to be a balance. Those that live completely fearless lives often end up fighting the wind. Those that live in a constant state of fear become handicapped to the smallest corner available. There’s a saying in the pilot community. “There are old pilots, and there are bold pilots, but there are no old, bold pilots“. We should feel fear, but not all the time. I should be happy, but not all the time. I should be embarrassed, but not all the time. I should be proud, but not all the time. I should be able to enjoy this cheesecake, but not all the time. Live life in moderation and search for balance in ways that work for you. That’s where creativity is born. Breaking old habits and forming new positive habits. Go look in a mirror and discover the real you. Love yourself then it becomes effortless to love others and that’s the real secret sauce to winning in life. GO BE A GOOD PERSON. Then go touch some grass. I love you. Random thoughts at 4:41pm cst. Video can be uploaded right now but I’m still getting my thoughts out lol. -You can learn everything about a person by watching them drive for 20 minutes. Are they in a rush? How well tempered do they handle someone cutting them off? Are they considerate and use their blinker? Is the gas tank on E and they keep passing gas stations. Is their car a mess? What’s that smell? Is the radio on? Is the heat on or the AC? I could go on forever. Humans tell on ourselves through our actions in the most subtle ways. Thank you to all 11 of yall that read this far. Until next time..
