Not Gonna Be Able To Do It

The Savage Siblings Podcast

This episode discusses the benefit of working hard even when you feel you are not going to be able to do what is required. The Savage Siblings take a dive into the appeal of what is easy in life. Andre and Anitra connect this concept to the sibling experiences and responsibilities that they didn’t want to do from simple chores to complex decisions. They discuss the consequences of choosing the easy way rather than the “right” way. They share examples of the importance of ethical choices in life that have a direct impact on your future. This episode is for you if you’re struggling with learning to embrace the challenges that life brings and are tempted to find an easy answer rather than building courage, fortitude and patience. If you find that your ethics were shaped by negative childhood experiences that you find difficult to change, take a listen! If you reflect on how you enjoy meeting the challenges, don’t go anywhere, this is the episode for you. The Savage Siblings give you hope and incentive to meet the challenges of life in spite of the appeal of easy.
