Have you ever had someone tell you that you shouldn't, they wouldn't, or you CAN'T do something? Yeah, me too...

Shouldn’t. Wouldn’t. Can’t. They Are Not the Same.

There are four words that have always gotten my attention:

“You can’t do that.”

Really? Can’t? That is a pretty definitive word.

Join Dave for some conversation about POSSIBILITIES:

• THE SHELLFISH TEST
• CAN’T. SHOULDN’T. WOULDN’T.
• WHY WE ACCEPT OTHER PEOPLE'S LIMITATIONS
• 10 THINGS WE HAVE ABSOLUTE PERMISSION TO DO
• 20 THINGS I'M TOLD I CAN'T DO...THAT I KEEP DOING ANYWAY
• NOT EVERYTHING YOU CAN DO IS SOMETHING YOU SHOULD DO
• THE FOUR QUESTION TEST
• STOP LESS. GO MORE. NEVER QUIT.
• DON'T MAKE YOUR WORLD SMALLER THAN IT NEEDS TO BE

I've reached a place in my life where I don't need everybody to understand me, I don't need everybody to approve, and I certainly don't need everybody to do what I do.

“Don’t hand me your ‘I wouldn’t’ and call it ‘you shouldn’t.’ And don’t take your ‘you shouldn’t’ and promote it to ‘you can’t.’”

Giddyup!!!

Have you ever been in a situation where you weren't sure if you needed more, less, or none at all? Yeah, me too...

There are three words that control an enormous amount of our lives:

STOP. GO. QUIT.

We hear them from the time we're children.

Stop touching that.

Go clean your room.

Quit hitting your brother.

Then we grow up, and somehow the instructions get harder.

Join Dave for some direction talk about"

• STOP LESS. GO MORE. NEVER QUIT.
• WE HAVE BECOME VERY GOOD AT GETTING READY
• LIFE RESPONDS TO MOVEMENT
• STOP LESS DOESN'T MEAN NEVER STOP
• TEN TIMES YOU NEED TO STOP
• TEN TIMES YOU NEED TO GO
• TEN TIMES PEOPLE QUIT WHEN THEY PROBABLY SHOULDN'T
• THE ACTION MANTRA
• FIVE WAYS TO LIVE IT EVERY DAY
• FIVE ADVERSARIES
• FIVE WAYS TO BEAT THEM

So live with some energy.

Live with some curiosity.

Live expecting something good to happen, while being strong enough to handle it when it doesn't.

Stop staring at the starting line.

Stop waiting for perfect conditions.

Stop asking whether you're completely ready.

STOP LESS. GO MORE. NEVER QUIT.

Stop when you need to recover, go when life gives you a chance to live, and never confuse changing direction with giving up.

Giddyup!!!

Have you ever had a decision that needed to be made and you struggled longer that you should have or maybe delayed it? Yeah, me too...

At some point in life, every one of us hears an invisible voice say:

“Alright. Enough talking. Put on your Big Boy Pants.”

Join Dave for some Grown Up talk about:

• LIFE EVENTUALLY REMOVES THE TRAINING WHEELS
• WE DON'T REALLY HATE DECISIONS. WE HATE UNCERTAINTY.
• AND THEN THERE'S DRAMA
• SOME PEOPLE DON'T WANT RESOLUTION
• THE DRAMA INFLATION CYCLE
• RUMINATION FEELS PRODUCTIVE BECAUSE YOUR BRAIN IS BUSY
• THE HELICOPTER PARENT PROBLEM
• HELPING IS NOT THE SAME AS RESCUING
• WHEN ADVICE BECOMES PERMISSION
• YOU DON'T NEED EVERY POSSIBLE OPTION
• EVERYTHING HAS A CONSEQUENCE
• FIVE THINGS BIG BOY PANTS REQUIRE
• TEN DECISIONS THAT REQUIRE BIG BOY PANTS
• THE 24-HOUR DRAMA TEST
• FIVE WAYS TO PUT ON YOUR BIG BOY PANTS

Life does not require us to make perfect decisions.

It requires us to participate.

To choose.

To act.

To learn.

To adjust.

To occasionally say: “Well...that didn't work.”

“Freedom is having the right to choose. Confidence is believing you can handle the outcome. Maturity is making the choice without needing everybody else to approve it.”

Giddyup!!!
