Recovery requires both skill acquisition and character development, however both are acquired through different means. Skills are taught, which means anyone can develop the necessary abilities to make a full recovery. Meanwhile character is caught, in other words, it is most developed by being around people of good character (ref 1 Corinthians 15:33). You must be certain that your recovery approach does not confuse the two – skills are not caught, and character is not best taught. Ideally, your recovery solution will involve a conglomerate of both – learning skills while being surrounded by men of character that are able to push you in both areas. The episode ends with an opportunity to assess which of these areas requires more attention in order for you to move past your current barrier into the next layer of freedom.

A follow-up to Episode 347, today's content deep dives into why we must have both the memory of an elephant and a goldfish if we want to make a long-term recovery. The memory of an elephant allows us to be conscious of our strengths, to learn from our past mistakes, and to ensure that we stay wise. The memory of a goldfish allows us to avoid regret and to ensure that no mistake of the past lingers. Using Steph Curry as a case study, today's episode will show you how to harness the power of your memory in a way that launches you towards a place of lasting freedom.
