Cadre Today: Enoughness 101

A little Betty who to kick off the day we'll let it build y'. All. Ain't that the story saying sorry just for being yourself so insecure about something that I could not help but big. Larger than life. A million miles high that once in a century big. That's you, y'. All. You are so much in the best ways possible. Speak Wonder Amar. Marisa. 1% better. Ball game 22 30. How are you doing? Ball game 22 30. 77. 6B Mel Myers. Nice to see you. Hey, I'm glad I'm here. I'm glad you're here. I know what I know and I care about you.

Hey, what about those Minnesota Twins three game win streak. After losing half of our ball club, we traded half our ball club away and all of a sudden we've started winning and playing with a joy that's really fun to see. We'll talk about that in a little bit. But hey, I hope you're doing okay. If you're not, that's okay too. There's some people who for lots of reasons, inside and outside, on a lot of days they're doing better than other days they're doing worse. Other people are people who have mostly doing worse days and some days they get a good one.

That's not in our DNA, but it is in our experience. The things that are going on around us and the things that we can and the things more so that we cannot control the world. Would like you to believe that if you just control everything, if you just work really hard, you can make your life great. Some people have that privilege and others don't as much. But the good thing is we can change the world in which we exist a little bit by being right here in the Cadre sphere. So if ever you feel like your world's a little off kilter, a little cloudy, a lot cloudy or a little bit out of control, or a lot of bit out of control.

Here's a space you can bump to the Minnesota Twins. We're getting ready to have our ball club be sold. So the polads who've owned the Twins for a long time, they're saying, yeah, we're gonna sell the. We're gonna sell a ball club. And right before the trade deadline. So that's when teams have to make their. Make any trades they want to make in the season. And after that day, they can't anymore until the season is done. We, we traded like 12 of our top 26 players, which a couple things. Cause some fight flight responses there.

First of all, oh, my gosh, they traded my favorite player. That hurts. That creates some shock. Number two, the more rational part of the brain goes, ah, if these are our top 26 players and we trade half of them, obviously we're going to be a less great doer of baseball. Let me share another story. I used to be a high school tennis coach on the, on the boys side and the girls side. One year, my boys team, we graduated our first, our second, our third singles players, and our first and second doubles teams.

So on high school tennis team In Minnesota, there's 10 players, four people who play by themselves, singles players, and six people who play together doubles players. And I graduated my top seven players. Guess what happened next season? And I'll tell you, that was a great team. It was the best team we'd ever had. Great, great athletes, great humans. And I lost my best seven players. You may be like, oh, what happened next season? We had our best season ever. And it was the beginning of our journey towards being a top three team in the state and a really beautiful shift.

And if that rational brain's going, wait, if you got rid of all of your best players, how did you all of a sudden get better? Do you get players who weren't in your system? I'm like, nope. Every person on that team. Good morning. Ms. Shannon Paul is going to be going live in the Cadre sphere in exactly. Look at me doing math. Live in front of you, 120 -6, 114 minutes. Ms. Shannon Paul is going to be right back here, 10:00am Central Standard Time. Ms. Shannon Paul, what are you going to be speaking about this morning?

That high school tennis team, we lost 70%, the top 70% of our talent. And the next year we came back and we broke every record in the book. Here's the deal. It's really easy to exist in a world where you go, oh, if you just work harder, if you just care more, if you just do more, if you get up earlier, if you stay up later, if you invest more, that all of a sudden that's the ticket to better performance. And I'll tell you again and again, it doesn't hold true. Doesn't mean that those things don't bring you, to me, a higher place.

But a lot of times they don't. You may go, we're going to spend the money we're going to invest in bringing in this other great thing. And all of a sudden you go, voila, now we're going to win. I'm sorry, the New York Yankees have been doing that Year after year for their whole existence and they have not won a world series in 21 years. We talk about enoughness on Saturday mornings. Enoughness is this idea that you are already capable of doing something that is worthy of really amazing fandom and inspiration from the outside in right now.

But so often where we place our worth is in what's coming up next. And what's coming up next is often where the expectations that are placed on us live. Oh my gosh, now that we have this amazing team, now we are going to win. Enoughness says we have an amazing team. We are winning. You hear the present tense and the future tense there. Oh my gosh, now that we have. Now we are going to versus right now we have. We are. I still talk to those seven guys who graduated from that really great team about why the next year we got so good when they weren't there anymore.

And what I said to them is, I'm like, you were also practicing enoughness. We were as good as we could be. And you were teaching those people who are not a part of it yet how to be what they were becoming. And what those seven graduates taught those younger players was, if you are exactly where you are with what you have and you honor that, you're gonna do some amazing things. Did it hurt when 12 of my Minnesota Twins got traded? Absolutely. But guess what? I'm watching them excel around the other Major League Baseball teams.

I know that when we get into the playoffs and in the World Series that there's going to be at least one Minnesota Twin. There may be wearing a different uniform, but he's still going to be playing small town, scrappy baseball that has created one of the most high performing organizations in Major League Baseball in the last 50 years. And the, and that's the Minnesota Twins, one of the lowest payrolls, one of the smallest markets. And yeah, if you look at our results year over year, we're one of the most consistent, successful baseball teams in Major League Baseball.

People don't like it when I say that, but it's true. And here's the deal. I'm sad that I lost my Minnesota Twins, the 12 who are now somewhere else. But also I'm really excited for the team that we have and I'm not surprised that we're playing really great baseball because this current team has no option but to say, what do we got? How do we put it to use? Now let's go out there and do the thing that we can do right now, y'. All. I hope you look at what you got today. I hope you go out there and I hope you put to use the things that you got to put to use right now.

Because get ready. You're gonna do some pretty amazing things, y'. All. Cause you are big. Larger than life. Million miles howled at once in a century. Big. Have a good one. You need to play that where the drop hits. It's happening. I'll hit the countdown in a moment. Big, baby. I was meant to be big. Check out Miss Shannon Paul at 10aM Y'. All. We'll talk to you later. Peace.
