To overcome, you must educate. Educate not only yourself, but educate anyone seeking to learn. We are all Dead America, we can all learn something. To learn, we must challenge what we already understand. The way we do that, is through conversation. Sometimes we have conversations with others. However, some of the best conversations happen with ourselves. Reach Out and challenge yourself. Let's dive in and learn something right now. The world that we live in, is complex. It's confusing, and it's very demanding. understanding who you are, where you fit in. It's not always easy. Life is a challenge. And when we challenge ourselves, that's when we learn new things. That's what dead America podcast is about. We encourage and we invite you to get involved, not only with us, but with the world around you, the world you live in, to understand it, to challenge it. That's when you live. And that's what dead America is about. We want to challenge not only ourselves, but we want to challenge you, we reach out, we try to identify issues, the real world problems that we all face together. That's what dead America is about. We need your story. That's what we do. We tell stories, through communication, and involvement with one another. We learn challenge yourself, just because you don't know it. Challenge yourself to learn it. Sometimes the world throws curveballs at us, and we just don't know how to handle it. We find ourselves in these awkward positions. So often, I find myself thinking different. being outside of the normal boundaries of society, it's difficult when you find yourself within a group. And the group thinks one thing, but you know, inside your head, this is not right. What do you do, you have to challenge yourself. Sometimes, we have to walk away, even though the surrounding is so familiar, and we've known people places and things for so long. That's when it's the hardest to do what we need to do. When we struggle with the challenge of society, the weight of our peers, our siblings. Understanding how to be ourself in such a confusing world. It's hard to do when those curve balls are thrown at us. Don't react, think Take a moment, pause and relax. We have been challenging ourselves for a long time to understand the why. It's a big question Why? When you ask it, get ready for the answers. They might not be what you want, but that's okay. Seek the answers. seek the truth. And when you know it's truth. Stand firm. But if you're not sure, listen, this is when we can make a difference when we listen to people. understand who they are, what they feel, why they feel that way. Challenge yourself. It will educate you. It was not easy for me to reach out and start talking to people. But that's what it's about challenging yourself, understanding. You're not the only person in the world. There's more to the world. A lot of the times I think I know. And then I have to step back, reevaluate and understand what I really understand and truly know. It's not easy to do, challenging yourself, understanding. You're not always going to be right. But understand, you must challenge yourself and what you believe. That's what we do at Dead America. That's what Dead America is about. We challenge not only ourselves, but we're reaching out and challenging you. Get involved. Understand your fellow man a little bit better. Start talking people.
