This episode is kicked off with a quote from Abraham Lincoln: "Whatever you are, be a good one." Tim expresses his belief that being good is not enough. Very often what holds us back are self-pity, doubt, and fear. They can trap you in a dark pit, making it difficult to escape. The ability to struggle and persevere is crucial in overcoming these challenges.

The discussion takes a personal turn as the hosts share their own experiences with the three enemies — self-pity, doubt, and fear. The daily struggle to overcome them includes a maintenance program of faith, prayer, and positive relationships.
