Have you ever though some life changing even could never happen to you?  It's the kind of thing that only happens to other people?  Yeah, me too...

We all walk around with a quiet superstition:  “These things happen to other people...not me.”  We say it with confidence, like we’ve been issued some private insurance policy against reality.

Join Dave for some TIMBER TALK about:

  • The Negative things that only happen to other people
  • The Big Five - Negatives
  • FIVE WAYS TO PREPARE BEFORE THE BAD ARRIVES
  • The Positive things that we think could never happen to us
  • FIVE WAYS TO RAISE YOUR ODDS OF POSITIVE BREAKTHROUGHS
  • FIVE MENTAL PREPARATIONS FOR BOTH THE GOOD AND THE BAD
  • THE CHINESE FARMER PRINCIPLE - NOTHING IS FULLY GOOD OR BAD

Things that feel horrible today might be saving you.
Things that feel fantastic today might challenge you.
Nothing is final. Nothing is fully defined.
Perspective takes time.

Don’t live in denial.  Don’t live in fear. Don’t count yourself out.
And don’t pretend you’re the exception.

Giddyup!!!
