13243: Trevor Says There’s Nothing Quite As Satisfying As This

Hey there, hero!

Sometimes, the most casual comments can be the most powerful.

The moments of conversation that are the least charged can sometimes be monumental.

I had one of those moments in a recent co-working session with Coach Trevor Algatt (long time collab and member of the VOHeroes and Narrate Your Own Book coaching squad).

And I have a sneaking suspicion that what he had to say (about a…bag) might just land with a bang for you as well.

What’s been the most casual takeaway from a conversation you can remember? Something that was tossed toward you quietly, but was something life-changing? Let me know in the comments below.

  1. Interesting. I often avoid the organizational, boring things, rationalizing that the more fun audition things are what I need to do. Which, to be honest, has led to some disorganization in my space and mind that I hate.
    Great reminder, David and Trevor!
    Thank you again for the nudge!

  2. That phrase totally resonates with me! I have been doing stupid tasks all day today, things that are critical to my ultimate organization. I turned in my materials for a class last night and am spending the day doing “stuff” that needs to be done, “stuff” that I might be tempted to do as procrastination instead of “real work.” “Stuff” that also helps me keep going when I feel terrible sadness.

    A phrase someone said to me recently is, “What you allow, you endorse.” This had meaning for me since I had just had a family tragedy that happened partly because I failed to enforce saying, “No” to my (adult) daughter. Five weeks ago she insisted that we foster/adopt a dog that was on the kill list at a shelter. I caved, we brought him home and introduced him to our pack. A week later we took him to the vet to find out he had heartworm which would require thousands of dollars to treat. Later that day he killed my beloved little Boston Terrier. I witnessed him shaking her and breaking her neck. It took several days to get him returned to the place where we got him. During that time I had to keep caring for him, as well as taking great precautions that he didn’t hurt any other of our dogs. It has been a stressful 6 weeks. I am, sadly, wiser.

  3. Trevor’s metaphor may seem striking because it is not only apt but simple—particularly in the context you were all working at the time. Not only is it a useful descriptor of the minute and mundane drudgeries of life but the important and consequential as well.

    Brilliant in its simplicity and scope.

    Bravo
