CO3 Ep 79 | What do you want to be true in your life a year from now?
Season 2, Ep. 79
•
What do you want to be true in your life a year from now that’s not true today?
This was a question a friend and mentor of mine asked me in 2022 while I was on a sabbatical from my work and contemplating what was next for Lisa and myself. I did not have a clear picture at that time and that one question helped me to get clarity on what was next. There is no doubt it will for you too.
- It gives you a lens through which to clarify your vision.
- It pushes you to think ahead.
- It places you in a position to REFLECT and ADJUST
What worked?
What didn’t?
Adjust
Hope is NOT a strategy.
- Faith
- Family
- Friends
- Finances
- Fitness
Take this week — 30 mins a day — and answer the question… WHAT DO I WANT TO BE TRUE IN MY LIFE A YEAR FROM NOW THAT IS NOT TRUE TODAY?
- WRITE IT DOWN.
- PRIORITIZE your PLAN
- EXECUTE
- SHARE WITH SOMEONE

CO3 Ep 89 | Two Types of Pain
39:43||Season 2, Ep. 89On this episode of the podcast, Lisa and I talk about the Two Types of Pain: The Pain of Disappointment and The Pain of Discipline. Temporary discomfort from discipline is much lighter than the lasting pain of not reaching your potential due to lack of discipline.Hebrews 12:11 says, "No discipline seems pleasant at the time, but painful. Later on, however, it produces a harvest of righteousness and peace for those who have been TRAINED by it.""We must all suffer from one of two pains: the pain of discipline or the pain of regret. The difference is discipline weighs ounces while regret weighs tons." --Jim RohnPursue Discomfort.Embrace the Suck.Do Hard Things.Contact us at spencer@thecordofthree.com or on Instagram at @cord_of_388.
