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 share quick hits from my latest book's intentional mindset

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

get better and become more. Here is the topic. Too many excuses. People offer many excuses for why they stagnate or decline. But here's a cause

that's easy to overlook. They prioritized the certainty of comfort and convenience over a conviction

to challenge themselves, create this comfort, and develop resilience as they grow through the struggle. You've got to disturb

those comfortable routines. You've got to test your limits so you don't under challenge yourself.

Stop shooting the messengers who bring you hard truths about your poor decisions, disciplines,

and rationalizations for doing less than your best. Welcome others to stretch

you, mentor you, and hold you accountable. You won't grow to your potential at your own safe,

certain, comfortable pace. You've got to ditch the excuses and stretch yourself. Thank you.
