Welcome to the Game Change Your Life.

I'm Dave Anderson with our Friday, two-minute warning edition.

Post these on Fridays and the air design to help give you something to think about watch for or do as you finish your week strong. And to maximize your weekend, I will also occasionally include a red zone rant, but not today. I want to talk in this episode about thinking more about what you think about. Think about how the power of your thinking impacts those eight key traits that separate

the occasional playmaker from the game changer. How does your thinking impact your effort, your energy,

producers create material that's the opposite of all the positive things.

They show us what is false, what is a noble, what is unjust, ungodly, unkind,

crass, and ghastly. All of this pours out of TV sets, movie screens, newspapers, novels,

magazines, and websites. He said these producers and authors and writers defend their actions

by saying, we're only reflecting reality. And Dr. Kennedy says, what I want to say back

to them is, yes, but life is more than the gutter, the toilet and the brothel. We can't deny the

reality of the gutter, but roses are just as real. So are rainbows. Conversations around campfires

with friends, a dinner with family, walking around the block with your spouse and talking about life, that's real, too.

He said, today and every day, set your thoughts on what is positive, possible, and productive,
