080: There’s Always a Story Behind the Story


Listen Later

I need you to be intense. I need you to go to war every day and take no prisoners, but also remember- There's always a story behind the story. How many times have you gone off half-cocked when you thought the shit was really hitting the fan, only to realize you may have overreacted just a teensy-weensy bit. Take it from the Buckster, because I've done that more times than I care to admit, there's always a story behind the story.

 

Do you know why you do that? It's because you're telling yourself a story instead of letting the story play out on its own. You're seeing something happening and since you're the smartest guy/gal in the room, you're predicting what is going to happen or why it happened, but your brain is gaming out the worst possible scenarios and it usually doesn't happen that way. So next time you get upset about something, anything, you have to wait 24 hours to respond. Take the information in. Take a breath. Think about it. Ponder on it. Reflect on it. Rinse it around in our mouth a few times. Give it 24 to settle or brew. After 24 hours, if you still see it going down badly, do what you've gotta do, player. Fire somebody, rip into them, go raise hell, but most of the time you're going to realize that it's not as bad as you thought it was going to be, and that if you reacted like you wanted to at first, you'd be in a much worse place and kicking yourself now. Take a breath player, there's always a story behind the story.
