🦬 My 5 Regrets from Playing College Football

Ever tried to boil a frog? (I mean, who would? But it’s a thing, so here we go…)

You don’t throw the frog into boiling water—it would jump out. Instead, you start with room temperature water, slowly heating it up until, well, it’s too late for the frog.

Here’s the metaphor…

When change is extreme, we notice it. But when it creeps up little by little, we hardly see it coming.

I bet there’s an area in your life where you’ve gotten complacent—happens to all of us.

Maybe one missed workout turned into a month off, and now you’re eating junk and haven’t seen a gym in years. Or you used to go to church, but gradually drifted until it’s no longer part of your life. Or maybe it’s in your spending—just over budget each month, until one day, you don’t even have a budget.

The takeaway? Two words:

Complacency kills.

And those two words are a huge recurring theme in the podcast episode I just recorded about My 5 Regrets from Playing College Football… I talk about where I went wrong and how all of us can learn from it today!

My 5 major regrets are:

  1. I underestimated my competition (The enemy doesn’t want you to be “super lazy;” it wants you to be “just lazy enough” that you don’t notice.)

  2. I never pounded the pavement long enough for something to pop

  3. I never got extreme (Anybody out there lived a lukewarm life? I know I have!)

  4. I was too much of a “nice guy.”

  5. Overthinking put the nail in my coffin.

So hey! If you want to hear more about that and how they might relate to your personal journey (I’m SURE they will), click that little button below to check it out!

P.S. I get kind of vulnerable in the episode talking about some things I haven’t told to many people, so as always, I appreciate your support in liking, commenting, and sharing the episode.

Until next time… YOU DA MAN!
