This week's episode of Build Your Alpha talks about how expectations for people or situations can lead to disappointment or frustration. However, being able to go into these without expectations of anything in return, and moving away from the "tit for tat" transactional mentality, we have the opportunity to build on the values we find important. We then shift to an intrinsic satisfaction of ourselves for acting based upon the character and values of ourselves, and move away from relying on the extrinsic factors and satisfaction that can lead to the disappointment and frustration. If doing the right thing has a neutral impact on you and a potential positive impact for the situation, or person, then you should always act that way.

Be Open To Receive & To Give
This week's episode of Build Your Alpha talks about how we all are told to live a fulfilling life that we have to give to others and bring them up with us. I feel that there is a negative perception around receiving from others though. However, if we allow ourselves to receive, not to take, opportunities when they are presented to us we have the ability to become the best we can be.

Boundaries - Set 'em & Stick to 'em
This week's episode of Build Your Alpha talks about the importance of not overextending yourself. That by saying yes to everything and not allowing yourself to say no to certain commitments that you're not able to be the best you can be, and therefore cannot give the best of yourself to those people and things that are most important to you. If our "cup is overflowing" then we will get to a point that we cannot give anymore, we cannot give what we don't have.

Find Your Tribe
This week's episode of Build Your Alpha talks about finding your tribe and how those closest to you can help you become the best version of yourself. It can take one person to change the world, but it takes a community to help that one man. As we go through life our priorities change and that means that at times our tribe will change, people will come and go throughout our lives. It's about keeping those that are the most positive in our lives around and building those relationships.
