Episode notes
Be Impeccable With Your Word
- Be impeccable with your word by stopping criticism, complaining, blaming, and gossip.
- Brian Johnson practiced this daily in Bali and checked in to notice how often he slipped into negative speech.
Impeccable Means Hit The Target
- Impeccability means 'to be without sin' in the original sense — to hit the target rather than moralizing failure.
- Brian uses Paulo Coelho's archer metaphor: miss the mark, learn, take another shot without shame.
Don't Take Anything Personally
- Don't take anything personally because people's reactions reflect their own issues, not you.
- Brian illustrates this with the same person treating you differently after a terrible morning versus a great morning.
