K.I.S.S. Keep it simple stupid. Stop Overcomplicating Everything

You win some you lose some | With my son

Monthly check in with my son and talking a lil baseball. How you win some games and you lose some games. Landon surprised me with a little wisdom of his own as well.

”Same shit different day” Only you can change that.

Ive been hearing this comment a lot lately. "Same shit different day" I have been guilty and caught myself saying it as well. Im intentionally trying to change that. Im on a mission to change my life. Create the man that I want to be. Listen as I break down the tactics I'm using in my own life to do so. I hope you can use some of the same tactics to create the person you know you're capable of becoming. 
What does your current life look like?
What is your purpose in this life?
Don't waste time, live your life now.
Break out of the societal norms.
Get shellfish 
embrace the change.

You don’t owe anyone an explanation

In todays society I feel we have become so soft as not to hurt someones feelings. Feeling we owe everyone an explanation to everything. Short answer...no you don't. Say no and keep on keeping on. You are you and have your own priorities and they are no one else business. 

Lead by example

"A leader leads by example whether he intends to or not."
"A good leader inspires others to have confidence in the leader, a great leader inspires others to have confidence in themselves."
I was feeling less than inspired before recording this but as the day went on the inspiration naturally presented itself.
"Don't follow rules just to follow rules."

Monthly check in: MY SON

My son hasn't let me forget that we said we would do one of these once a month. I think its very cool to have this platform and opportunity to do this with my son as he grows. This is one way to leave lasting legacy. After I'm dead and gone he will be able to go back and listen to conversations with his dad.

Are you a VICTIM or VICTOR

Following up from last weeks episode on depression. Make sure that you're not just playing the victim vs being depressed. In this episode I go over different signs that you could have a victim mindset. Again I'm not a doctor or mental health professional at all. Im simply speaking on my experiences and the things that I struggle with daily. Im by no means perfect and that exactly why I do this podcast.
