TOUGH TIMES NEVER LAST, BUT TOUGH PEOPLE DO. Pat is back with an inspiring story in this solo episode of The Resilient Dad. As a father, it is important to teach our kids about resilience at an early age, and that’s exactly what Pat did as he shares the lesson he taught his own son on weekends they spent together. SHOW HIGHLIGHTS: The clash on the battle beam Getting tangled with anger and frustration You didn't lose, you learned You only lose if you give up Compete with yourself, not with others QUOTES: Pat - You never lose until you give up: “Being able to even just say that vocally to my son really sort of reminded me of that. I never actually lose until I actually give up.” Pat - Giving up out of fear: “The only thing, that reason why I do give up, is fear. The fear of failure and the fear of rejection. But do I really fail if I learn? No. Can I really be rejected? No, not really.” Pat - Keep going, keep battling: “Keep going, stay on that battle beam and learn, and see what you're doing and where you could be improving on areas that you just don't actually see because you’re not focusing on that.” Pat - Focus and compete with yourself: “Stop focusing on what the other person has, whether they're stronger or they have other resources, whether it's money, or wherever it may be. Just focus on proving yourself and competing against yourself.” Connect with Pat and check out what more inspiring things he’s up to: About Pat About Resilient Dad If you liked this episode or were inspired by the journeys it shares, or you have suggestions or your own stories to share, subscribe to the Resilient Dad podcast now and leave us a comment!
