Nothing changed. But yet everything changed. Wait a minute. Kenny Chapman, blue collar coach, Freedom Friday. Focus. I want you to think about when you try to stay the same. Many of us just kick, scream, fight to remain the same. Nobody likes change, nobody wants to change. So I'm just gonna. I've got a little thing going. I got my little routine. I got something that works. I'm gonna stay the same and everything else will still stay the same, right? Hey, let me check this out. Earlier this week, on Sunday, we had the time change, right? Daylight savings happens. Well, the lovely Christy and I moved to Arizona a few years ago, and Arizona happens to be the only state in the contiguous United States that does not participate in the time change. So what does that mean? Nothing changes? I don't have to run around the house and change the clocks and all the stuff. And of course, forget the microwave because all of you forget the microwave. In fact, some of you don't have to change the microwave because you forgot to change it last time, right? So we think, oh man, nothing's going to change and it's all good. And I went, wait a minute, everything has actually changed. Why? Because the entire country, all four time zones, moved on us, yet we remained the same. My calendar went from a 9:30am team meeting to an 8:30 team meeting. Because now we're on Pacific time for a minute. But we're not really Pacific, we're Arizona time. Wait a minute. Think about how this shows up in your own life. Think about when you are just making sure I'm going to stay the same. I've got my little success recipe. You know what that means? Your success recipe is a success trap, my friends. There's no reality of remaining the same. Change is the only constant. It's going to continue to happen. You might as well embrace it. And if you realize it and embrace it, then how about you create it? What do you really want the rest of your 2020 to look like? Now let's go create it until we talk. Make it a better than fantastic day. We'll see you real soon, Sam.
