Welcome to the Game Change Your Life podcast with Dave Anderson.

Now, here's Dave with an intentional mindset minute.

Welcome to the Game Change Your Life. I'm Dave Anderson with another intentional mindset minute,

where I'll share quick kits from my latest books, intentional mindset, and

elevate your excellence. We post them on Fridays to help you think right, do right, get better,

and become more. Here's the topic, empower, don't entitle. You see, continually giving someone

something for nothing, you can eventually make them kind of good

for nothing. Keep bringing them fish, and they never learn how to fish for themselves. And eventually,

they tire of the cod and start to demand seafood platters. That's how entitlement works. It

escalates. It's a false kindness to remove every aspect of discomfort and struggle from someone's life, allow them to shun responsibility for their own decisions, or fail disciplines, and continue to give them all they need to succeed without them adding in the effort and energy to earn it and to deserve it, without them building the character and habits

to feel good about what they've done on their own. You know, I'm going to be. Thank you.
