Purpose Grows Where You Reward It
Positive reinforcement is not fluffy talk. It is the classic fuel that helps purpose take root. In this episode, I unpack how praise, cues, and small rewards shape who we become. I share why some people who feel “purposeless” may simply be missing steady reinforcement, not missing potential.
I also discuss my goal to compete in shot put at the Transplant Games. Once upon a time, I was a high school champion. Today, I am a beginner again with a wiser view. The circle closes when effort meets encouragement.
