Über diesen Titel

 We all know the drill: January hits, motivation spikes, and we promise ourselves "this is the year." Yet, statistics show that enthusiasm fades rapidly. In this episode, the duo dives deep into the concept of having "A Thousand Excuses," but not a single good reason to neglect your potential. whether it's health, business, or relationships, this discussion is the spark you need to move from intention to action. Key Highlights
  • The Predictable Cycle of Quitting: Alvin outlines the "Gym Cycle." January is packed (no parking spots), but by February or March, the "bowling alley" returns as excuses set in—pain, lack of immediate results, or busyness. This cycle repeats in summer (BBQs) and the holidays, proving we can always find an excuse to wait.
  • Health is the Ultimate Wealth: Out of the 8.0 billion people on this planet, no one can name something more important than health. It isn't just about existing; it is about thriving so you can shovel snow, run up a hill, or play with your grandkids.
  • The "Man in the Mirror" Reality: Brandon emphasizes that while fear (False Evidence Appearing Real) generates excuses, you must look deep in the mirror. There is no magic pill, and nobody is coming to save you. Total responsibility falls on you.
  • The Power of Association: You are the sum total of the 5 people you spend the most time with. If your circle doesn't support your growth, or if they encourage mediocrity, it is nearly impossible to level up.
  • Aim Higher and Start Small: Humans often set goals too low and hit them, rather than aiming high and missing. The key is breaking big goals into fundamentals. You might not be able to do 20 push-ups in a row today, but you can do two sets of ten, or ten sets of two. Just start.
  • Comfort is the Enemy of Growth: If you aren't growing, you are degenerating. Biological cells die and regenerate; time moves forward regardless of your actions. To stay vital, you must embrace the "suck" and get uncomfortable.
  • The "Get To" Mindset: Shift your perspective from "I have to do this" to "I get to do this." Whether it is education or exercise, having the freedom and ability to improve yourself is a privilege, not a chore.
  • Don't Stare at the Past: As Brandon quotes, "It's okay to look at the past, but don't stare." The windshield is larger than the rearview mirror for a reason. Focus on where you are going, not where you have been.
Final Thoughts Time is a thief that offers no refunds. As we move into this new year, you have a choice: you can be a victim of change, or you can be a victor who adapts and grows. Stop looking for the perfect time; it doesn't exist. Find your "why," make the process fun, and get comfortable with being uncomfortable. As the team signs off: Peace, love, and a sprinkle of soul.
