Monty Roberts tells a story of a high school teacher who gave a writing assignment to share what you wanted to do when you grew up. Monty wrote that he wanted to own a ranch and raise thoroughbred horses. His teacher gave him an F and told him he would never make that dream a reality.

When the teacher gave him a chance to rewrite the paper for a higher grade, Monty said, "Keep your F, I'm keeping my dream."

Today, Monty has a 154-acre range with thoroughbred horses. He inspired the Robert Redford Movie, The Horse Whisperer.

The Question of Drive: Genetics vs. Environment. What is it that makes some people "driven" and others seem to just wait to see what happens? In this episode I interview my son Kevin, host of the top-ranked Self-Helpful podcast, on his new book, What Drives You. Can you overcome the impact of your childhood environment? Listen in for a front seat on this conversation by father and son.

Episode #892 May 12, 2023

Questions:

1. Do we need an "inciting incidence" to change the direction of our lives?

2. How much are we affected by our environments in the decisions we make?

3. "Drive" implies pushing to get ahead and there are clear images that come to mind when we say someone is "driven". Is there ever a point at which we need to back off on being driven?

I was exposed to The Strangest Secret by Earl Nightingale when I was 13 years old. The idea that we become what we think about and can control our minds really rocked my world.

Earl tells of a friend who made a terrible decision to hold up a liquor store and ended up killing the proprietor. He went to prison for life.

Earl checked in on his two boys (12 and 14 years old when he went to prison). One grew up to be a very successful businessman, a husband and a father. The other followed his father's path of addiction and went to prison for attempted murder.

When they were grown, he asked them both the same question: "Why did your life turn out this way?" To which they both gave the same answer, "How else could my life turn out having a father like that?"

Ultimately, the life we're living comes down to our own decisions, not our circumstances.
