Today’s Peace of Wisdom Can Be Found in Planning Backwards
The Content Barge arrived last night and this was unloaded for you.
The Ultimate Decision
Part 2: Give Something
Through stories of everyday service, the scientific truth of the butterfly effect, and examples ranging from Cami Walker’s 29-day challenge to the servant leadership of Tony Dungy, Part 2 shows that giving isn’t about resources—it’s about intention. When we lift someone else, even in small ways, our own challenges shrink, clarity returns, and new opportunities begin to appear.
Whether it’s blessing your family with intentional words, noticing the unnoticed, mentoring someone who needs a hand, or simply choosing gratitude, these sessions reveal a powerful truth: joy grows where we give. And just like action, giving is a daily decision—one that invites you to become a person others are grateful to follow.
Session 11: The Direction of Your Choosing
Discussion Questions
- 1)How do you typically respond when unexpected change enters your life, and how might a shift in perspective help you navigate it differently?
- 2)Do you feel more controlled by your thoughts or in control of your thinking—and what would change if you chose the latter?
- 3)Who in your life might benefit from your help or encouragement right now, and how could giving “something” bring clarity to both of you?
Session 36: The Jordan Effect
Great achievement begins with clarity. Using the examples of Nancy Lopez and Michael Jordan, Andy shows how success is built through a combination of vision, discipline, and the way we treat other people. Talent and hard work matter, but lasting influence comes from aligning your actions with a clear purpose and becoming the kind of person others want on their team.
Session 37: Nothing But a Winner
Using the example of legendary coach Paul ‘Bear’ Bryant, Andy explores what it means to develop the mindset of a winner. Greatness begins with a clear vision of where you are headed and the willingness to pursue it with focus and discipline. More than football, Bear Bryant’s legacy was his ability to recognize potential in people and challenge them to become more than they believed possible.
Session 38: Compete at Your Best
Great lives are built one choice at a time. In this session, Andy challenges you to examine the decisions, habits, and actions that are shaping your future. By measuring your choices against your purpose and values, you can develop a championship mindset that moves you toward the life you were designed to live. Becoming something great isn’t a single achievement—it’s the result of consistent actions repeated over time.
Session 39: We’re All Guided Travelers
None of us reaches our destination alone. In this session, Andy reflects on the mentors, friends, family members, and trusted advisors who have helped shape his life, reminding us that wisdom often comes through the people around us. By intentionally seeking guidance from those who model character, wisdom, and service, we gain perspective that helps us become the people we were created to be.

The Math Behind Every Game
with Rick Burgess
Discussion Questions
- 1)Many athletes don’t consciously think about math or physics during competition, yet they rely on them instinctively. What does this tell us about the connection between practice, instinct, and unseen knowledge in sports—and in life?
- 2)This piece shows how math is hidden in everything from a quarterback’s throw to a swimmer’s push off the wall. Can you think of other areas of life or work where math plays a role, even if we don’t notice it?
- 3)Whether it’s finding the right angle or calculating the perfect curve, precision can make the difference between winning and losing. What’s an example from your own life where paying attention to small details made a big impact?
