Hello, hello. Real quick, before we get into the episode, a simple request. If you like this

episode, if you like any of the episodes we put out every single week, we would absolutely love it

if you would share it with one friend. That's it. Just send them a text, send him an email,

mention it next time you see them at the gym. Let them know that they may also like chasing excellence.

There's no better way for us to grow our crew here at the show than if folks like you

who are already listening, share it with somebody who should be here.

If you've got a friend who's not listening, please consider sending them this episode

or any of your favorite episodes.

We thank you in advance.

Okay, let's get into it.

Hello and welcome back to Chase some next to me. How the heck are you, buddy? I'm good. I'm a great after you. We haven't been an episode with just you and I for like six weeks. Is that true? Yeah, we've kicked off the year with a lot of friends of the show, like guests. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. This is just kind of the first time I squeezed one out.

I think we might do this week and next week, just you and I. So I'm excited about this. I missed you. I missed you. All right, so we got something fun this week. You posted something on Instagram, some number of weeks ago, I don't know, maybe a month or two ago.

You called 10 things that are hard to hear but true.

It's a list for us. So we've got... some number of weeks ago, I don't know, maybe a month or two ago, that you called 10 things

that are hard to hear but true. It's a list for us. We've got 10 things. We're just going to talk through each one of these. I thought all of them are great. I'll give all 10 first just so folks can know kind of what's coming and then we're going to chip away at each one of them. So here's the list. Here are 10 things that are hard to hear but true. Number one, we need to work on changing us,

not them. Number two, we complain a lot, and it's the list. Here are 10 things that are hard to hear but true. Number one, we need to work on changing us, not them. Number two, we complain a lot and it's not helping. Number three, our priorities

are out of whack. Number four, the story we tell ourselves isn't true. Number five, we feel like we are

better or worse. We are not. Number six, we could be doing so much more. Number seven,

we are not good at being objective. Number eight, being defensive is holding us back. Number nine,

life isn't fair. Get over it. And number 10, more things won't make us happy. All right,

before we jump to the first thing, anything worth saying about where this list came

from or why you put it together?
