Decades ago, I was waiting tables at a busy Houston steakhouse when I mistook an Astros pitcher for a guy I played with on my church softball league. The table erupted in laughter, and I had no idea why. To me, he was just another man who looked familiar, not a sports legend. That moment taught me something that has stuck with me ever since. People can be idolized in one space and completely unknown in another. And while it is easy to put others on pedestals, the truth is this: while you are clapping for someone else’s game, you are not playing your own.
In this episode, I share how to stop sitting in the cheap seats of your own life and start stepping up to the plate. Through three plays you can run right now, you will learn how to redirect your energy, shift your focus, and measure progress on your own scoreboard.
Key Takeaways
✨ How to track your applause meter and redirect energy you spend clapping for others back into your own growth.
✨ Why worshiping the play instead of the player gives you practical strategies you can test in your own life.
✨ How to keep your own stats so you stop obsessing over other people’s numbers and start celebrating your own quiet wins.
✨ Why progress is built from base hits and how small plays move your game forward.
This is not about never celebrating others. It is about cutting pedestal energy in half and reclaiming the other half for yourself. Because when you stop warming the bench and start running your own plays, everything changes.
✨ Rewrite. Reclaim. Reinvent. ✨
Because you cannot win the game if you are always warming the bench.Website:
