Yo today's QOD is I don't do things based on how I feel I do things based on who I am here we go

Welcome back to the quote of the day show I'm your host Sean Crox and a Sean Crox and dot com as we do every year this time a year the final week of the year

We are going to do our best of 2021 series where I play the most downloaded most listen to and most social media shared episodes of the year and today we kick things off with Mr. Ed

My lead this is my favorite clip of the year so number two most downloaded episode of the year number one tomorrow and

You know the story he shares in this episode about the twin and the stranger I think about every single day I guy it motivates me but at the same time it haunt me because to be perfectly honest

Like if I was on my deathbed tomorrow I'd be so pissed at myself I would be happy about some things but I'd be pissed about the fact that I didn't realize my potential the way that I could have

And I think we all kind of struggle with that with what we can do but we're not fully doing it you know I was I was having a conversation with a friend a few weeks ago and I asked her I was like hey

Great yourself a through F on how much you're realizing your potential right now she great herself and then she asked me and I was like C plus

And she was so shocked and surprised with that she's like all the stuff that you do to help people and help people all around the world the podcast and you

Write and you do all the stuff and I was like yeah, I mean that's great totally love it but I still know that there's a huge gap between what I'm doing now and who I'm being now versus who I know I can be and what I know I

Could do and I would meet the stranger like real talk I would fully meet the stranger if it was all over today and that doesn't

Sit very well with me and that's why I think about this episode all the time and I know I'm not the only one who's not realizing his or her

Potential and so let this talk be a kick in the pants for not only like New Year's 2022 but like literally today how can you move toward meeting your

Twin when it's all said and done and my let coming up at that same dinner my daughter said to me hey dad my daughter's

Pretty like she's like me my son's a sweetie like his mom my daughter goes hey dad what's up with the midlife crisis

She's all the way I go midlife crisis what are you talking about she goes come on social media you grow on the beard out the tight t-shirts

Going through midlife crisis and I go you know what you're right I am here's what you don't know I was going through a young life crisis

When daddy was 20 years old I was going through a crisis to get to the next level at 21 I was going through a crisis when I was 28 to be better at 29

I was in a crisis when I was 35 to be a better version of me in 36 and guess what boo when daddy's 55 I'll be in another crisis before I get to 56

And that's a fact anybody that knows me if you want to adopt one of my personality traits I'm in a crisis to get to the next level

One of my good friends is Tom Brady and I can tell you he's constantly talking about being in an emergency to get better

Rodney Harrison was telling me the story that when he was a rookie for the Patriots he got to the gym every day the workout facility first every single day
