I’m David Parsons
I became an avid worrier in my teens. I worried about everything. My looks, my shoes, my future plans, you name it I worried about it. This level of anxiety created a lot of self-doubt about my abilities and my place in the world. These destructive beliefs were reinforced when I failed grade nine twice. It took me moving to a two different high schools and six years to finish, what should have been four-years to graduation from high school.
All of my scholastic underachievement worked to convince me that, not only am I not good enough, things were unlikely to get any better. Although these thoughts became a bit tamped down when I was accepted into second year of a two-year college level art and design course.
But my low level of confidence appeared again when I entered the work force. I was terrible at selling myself or much anything else. This was the direct result of the effects of my low self-image.
If you suffer from anxiety and you find yourself worrying about almost everything, like I did, they you might relate.
As time went on, now in my late twenties, there was a big movement towards self-improvement and a book category called self-help. Many famous authors and speakers like Dale Carnegie, Norman Vincent Peale, Robert T. Kiyosaki, Stephen R. Covey’s, Richard Carlson, Spencer Johnson, and others wrote books that became quite popular and many still sell well today. But I noticed that almost all of them pointed out that, when it comes to success in anything, one’s persistence and determination are key.
But that’s not exactly new. Character traits that included virtues like perseverance, tenacity, and zeal were understood as important for success attainment since at least the time of Aristotle. But what exactly was the nature of persistence no one could say. Years later, one psychologist, Carol Dweck, authored a book titled “Grit: The Power of Passion and Perseverance”. That book attempted to categorize “general persistence” as being common to short-term tasks while “grit” involved a different standard of sustained commitment over years or decades.
Toe-MAY-toe… toe-MAH-toe.
I wanted more. I needed more and this wasn’t cutting it.
At home while growing up my father, who was handy with tools, maintained a small work area in our basement. I spent hours in there taking apart things like broken toys and wind-up clocks to see how they were made. This draw to know disparate things as a teen must have nestled itself into my sense of enquiry as an adult. I later learned that industries and governments had a name for this practice: “reverse-engineering”. It was used to learn how a thing was designed to work in a particular way. It’s huge time-saver if you’re needing to build something similar.
This is when I hit on the idea of reverse-engineering my own persistence and it quickly changed me as well as those whom I shared it with. This would form the basis of what is now my signature offering called The HERO Tour Experience.
INSIGHTS
The insights about human betterment that I write about are created for people who need and want an alternative to the thing we call self-help. I recognize that, if there’s one thing that’s over-abundant in this world, it’s failure. Failure to keep the body disease-free and our thinking unease free.
I don’t want to eliminate failure entirely because that’s how we learn things. I just want to reduce the physical turmoil and mental anxiety it causes. Now I have the tool that does the job and it only needs to be used once.
