ANECDOTE

Trail Lesson With Emerson

  • Brian walks the trail with his son Emerson and uses the outing to teach discipline and mindset.
  • He recounts Emerson texting his coach, admitting he knew the exercises but a whiny voice convinced him otherwise.
INSIGHT

Name The Voice That Holds You Back

  • A small internal 'whiny' voice often convinces us to do less than we know we can.
  • Naming and confronting that voice helps you choose the 'winner' mindset over the 'whiner.'
ADVICE

Use 'Helpful Or Hurtful' To Choose Action

  • Ask yourself: 'Helpful or hurtful?' when you hear doubtful thoughts.
  • Follow the voice of your winner, not your whiner, to act intentionally today.
