There is no try.

I am going to explain my header "There is no try". For some of you football guys, coaches would say when in doubt fire out, basically meaning if you are unsure of any situation go all out even if it is the wrong way. Never go 50% of what you are capable, for it is better to do something even if it is wrong than to stand there dumbfounded while you are in the moment. That's exactly what i mean by there is no try, you either do or you don't. When you go at a situation the only and best way to accomplish anything is with confidence (not arrogance, confidence), your mind is not fully open to learning if you are hesitant or are scared (another reason how emotion holds you back).
I am going to go a little in depth about emotions and logic (i will post another blog solely for this topic). Remember the neocortex is how we obtain information most efficiently and the emotions of the primal brain the paleopallium is basically the animal part of our brain that constructs the chemicals for emotions and such. The paleomammalian is the majority of the brain you are using when in confusion or doubt or even when you feel a certain way about a certain topic. So it's as simple as a question, why would you conciously use a section of the brain that was overshadowed about 200,000 thousand years ago (subject to discrepancy). I'm not saying we should disregard that section completely it is a vital portion of the brain we need to live, I am suggesting we limit the paleopallium use to only our vital functions and not for use for thought.
So I suggest staying focused in the moment and perceptive about all and any situations you come across.

1 Peter 3:15-16

But in your hearts set apart Christ as Lord. Always be prepared to give an answer to everyone who asks you to give the reason for the hope that you have. But do this with gentleness and respect, keeping a clear conscience, so that those who speak maliciously against your good behavior in Christ may be ashamed of their slander.


Thanks. :] I do try to have a good grasp on God's word so I can give an answer to someone's question. Also, it makes it harder for others to scorn you when you know your stuff. Soooo....Any questions? lol.
