Choose Your Hard
Dr. PJ Caposey @MCUSDSupe

TWO CONCEPTS
TO KEEP IN MIND TODAY
Life is inherently meaningless, unless
we give it meaning.
What happens if nothing happens?
(Lesson learned in WWII)

Health Wealth
Family Career
YOUR LIFE

The best way to keep
your health is to eat what
you don’t want, drink
what you don’t like, and
do what you would rather
not.
CHOOSE YOUR HARD
HEALTH

MY STORY
Time is a finite resource – Live a Life of
Passion and Purpose

What if I told you . . .
I could decrease your chance at a cardiac
event by 96% and extend your life by 3
years (on average) if you gave me 30
minutes EVERY OTHER DAY?

Money is either using you
– or you have figured out
how to use your money
CHOOSE YOUR HARD
WEALTH

COMFORT
When something is familiar, even though it is
not productive or aligned to your goals, it can
feel comfortable. When something is
unfamiliar, even though it’s healthy, it can
feel uncomfortable.

Did you know . . .
If you put 200 per paycheck away when you were 22, you would retire a
millionaire at . . .
BUT, PJ . . .
If you wait, 10 years, how much do you think you need to put away per pay
period?
If you put 5,000 into investments when a baby is born, how much do you need to
deposit each MONTH to have 100k in a college-fund at 18?

If you put 200 per paycheck away when you were 22, you would retire a
millionaire at . . . 62
BUT, PJ . . .
If you wait, 10 years, how much do you think you need to put away per pay
period? $450
If you put 5,000 into investments when a baby is born, how much do you need to
deposit each MONTH to have 100k in a college-fund at 18? $200

This matters deeply
• Finance is the number one cause of
relationship issues (cited in over 40% of
divorces)
• Cause of over 44% of insomnia
• Over 50% of Americans cite it as cause
of anxiety

Likely, not actually Socrates. But MANY of
his writing reflect this exact sentiment.

ONE HARD STOP.
Blame others or the situation.
Complaining is identifying the
problem and having no interest in the
solution or taking ownership of the
problem.
Defend your behavior (Preserve the
Personal Status Quo).

Hard Work is Not a Punishment
It is the cost of
admission

Our behavior toward
our family may be the
biggest misalignment
of priorities vs. behavior
CHOOSE YOUR
HARD
Family

That moment when...
I realized I had an issue.

Create your
time for
BLACKBERRIES

You know what the true definition of hell is?
It's when you die, you get to meet the
person you could have been.
