Show Notes

Who said it...

• "If your future best self -- a version of you ten years older, who is even stronger, more capable, and more successful than you imagined yourself to be -- showed up on your doorstep today and looked at your current circumstances, what courageous action would that future self advise you to take right away to change your life?  How would your future self tell you to live?" -Brendon Burchard, High Performance Habits
• "The Lord works from the inside out.  The world works from the outside in.  The world would take people out of the slums.  Christ takes the slums out of people, and then they take themselves out of the slums.  The world would mold men by changing their environment.  Christ changes men, who then change their environment.  The world would shape human behavior, but Christ can change human nature." -Ezra Taft Benson
