YOUR BRAIN’S TEMPER TANTRUM PT. 1

“I CAN’T AFFORD IT”—
Most people believe they’re limited by what they can afford, but that mindset keeps them stuck. This issue of The Grip challenges the affordability trap and introduces a powerful shift: taking full responsibility for creating financial means instead of settling for what’s already available.
INTENTIONAL RENEWAL:
We want growth, but we resist the pruning. We crave reinvention, but we hesitate at what must die.
Renewal isn’t just an idea; it’s a lived process, and if you’re in it right now, it might feel more like destruction than transformation.
But there’s a way to move through it with mastery—one that requires embracing its paradoxes instead of fighting them.
MASTER THE HIDDEN STORIES CONTROLLING YOUR RESULTS
Your mind is a master storyteller, constantly interpreting events and shaping how you experience leadership, relationships, and even your own identity. But here’s the thing: not all these stories are true. And the ones that aren’t? They could be limiting you more than you realize.
BLINDED BY STORY:
The second my vision went dark, my brain didn’t wait. It handed me one story: You’re in danger. It was instant, automatic, and utterly wrong—but I almost turned into the Tasmanian Devil because of it.
My experience in that moment is a picture of the challenge we all face in getting a handle on our default stories. Default stories are automatic and in turn, drive behavior. You always behave in a manner consistent with the story you’re telling. And the trickiest part is default stories are almost impossible to identify, unless you know where to look.
ONCE UPON A STORY THAT STUCK
The single biggest influence on your quality of life in any given moment is what you say about it—your story. This capacity is powerful, and how you use it makes all the difference in creating benefit or harm; both for yourself and others. Getting conscious of and intentional with your story will fundamentally transform your life.
