Root Hog or Die: The Art of Breaking Free - [TPL] S2E215
Description
Welcome to another episode of the Third Power Life podcast! In today's episode, I dive into a powerful metaphor from my farm upbringing: "Root hog, or die." This phrase, taught to me by my grandfather, perfectly encapsulates the relentless effort required to break free from life's confinements and achieve true freedom.
As I recently revamped my bookshelf, I stumbled upon an old book cover I created to manifest a goal – a reminder of the importance of visualizing our dreams and working tirelessly to make them a reality. I share personal stories from my past, including the cleverness of pigs on our farm and how their constant rooting under fences inspired this episode's message.
We discuss the importance of persistently working towards financial freedom, emotional well-being, and better relationships. Drawing from my coaching experiences and the principles of Robert Kiyosaki’s "Rich Dad Poor Dad," I highlight the journey to escape the 'rat race' and achieve true independence.
I encourage you to reflect on the cages you might find yourself in, whether they relate to your career, health, or personal growth. What steps are you taking to break free? Share your thoughts in the comments or direct message me on Instagram or Facebook @ThirdPowerPerformance.
Remember, it's either root hog or die – work to change your life or stay stuck forever. Don't forget to like, subscribe, and leave a comment. Your support helps spread the message. Keep living your life to the Third Power and keep rooting out of those cages!
Keep rooting!
