The heaviest thing you will ever try to carry is a person who doesn't want to change. It’s time to drop the weight.Are you exhausted from trying to manage how other people act, think, or respond to you?In this episode of The Dee Hankins Show, we are opening Bucket #2: Others' Choices. This is the bucket that causes 99% of your headaches and drains your energy. We convince ourselves that if we just argue louder or text one more time, we can control someone else's behavior.But trying to control Bucket #2 is like leaving the driver's seat of your own car to push someone else's broken-down vehicle. You are abandoning your Seat of Power.Today, we are talking to the "CEO of You." We’re breaking down why holding a grudge is actually resource mismanagement, the "Unplugged Controller" trap, and why forgiveness is brutal work. Plus, I’m giving you three exact scripts to use so you can finally put the controller down.In this episode, we cover:The Danger Zone: Why their actions, reactions, and apologies are none of your business.The Unplugged Controller: The massive mental cost of being angry at something you can't control.The Invoice of Forgiveness: Why you are paying the rent for the grudge you’re holding.The Toolkit: 3 word-for-word scripts to release the anger and set professional boundaries.Timestamps:0:00 - Intro: The Heaviest Thing You’ll Carry1:54 - Bucket #2: The Danger Zone4:20 - The Unplugged Controller (Resource Mismanagement)6:07 - The Bucket #2 Problem9:44 - The Brutal Work of Forgiveness11:21 - 3 Scripts to Help You Let Go15:28 - Outro & Building Real ResilienceBring The Potential Protocol and 3-Bucket Philosophy to Your Team:Stop losing your best people to burnout.

The most terrifying thing in the world isn't losing control. It's realizing you actually have it.We love to say we are victims of circumstance. We blame the economy for being broke, we blame our partners for being angry, and we blame the "system" for being stuck.But what if I told you that 90% of your suffering is coming from the one person you refuse to look at?In this episode of The Dee Hankins Show, we are opening Bucket #1: My Choices. This is the "Seat of Power." It is the bucket of absolute control—your thoughts, your words, your actions, and your character.We are diving deep into the hard truths about radical responsibility, looking at how Viktor Frankl found freedom in a concentration camp, and using "The Mirror Test" to stop leaking energy and start claiming your power.In this episode, we cover:The Seat of Power: Why your thoughts and reactions are the only things you 100% own.The Hard Truths:The Viktor Frankl Rule: Finding the last human freedom in the worst circumstances.The Mirror Test: The one question to ask yourself when you feel angry or anxious.About Dee Hankins: Dee Hankins is a Human Behavior and Resilience expert, speaker, and content creator dedicated to helping you hit life's curveballs for home runs. www.DeeHankins.com#Resilience #RadicalResponsibility #TheSeatOfPower #DeeHankins #Mindset #PersonalGrowth

Are you tired of feeling powerless? 🧬

Most of us live in a state of constant exhaustion not because we aren't working hard, but because we are pouring our finite energy into the wrong buckets. We try to "fix" people we can't control and "fight" circumstances we can't change, all while our own goals sit on the sidelines.

In this episode, Human Behavior & Resilience Expert Dee Hankins introduces The 3 Bucket Philosophy—the ultimate sorting mechanism for your life. This isn't just a motivational talk; it’s a foundational strategy to protect your Core Four Assets (Spiritual, Mental, Physical, and Financial).

In this episode, you’ll learn:

• Why your "Hardware" (The Core Four) keeps crashing because of a poor "Management Strategy."

• How to identify Bucket #1 (My Choices), Bucket #2 (Others' Choices), and Bucket #3 (The Elements).

• The secret to reclaiming Absolute Control over your life by narrowing your focus.

It’s time to stop the burnout and start hitting home runs.
