Becoming Your Best Self | Stephen Scrobe Ep. 105

"LIVE AS IF YOU WERE TO DIE TOMORROW. LEARN AS IF YOU WERE TO LIVE FOREVER."

Mahatma Gandhi

There's something that happens to us after we accept our diploma, certificate of approval, or certification in a specific field. We all get just a little bit taller, that confidence gets a tiny bit bigger, and that ego gets stroked just enough to make us feel fulfilled.

We've made it. We've completed your studies and are now ready to apply what we have learned.

Unfortunately, what so few of us realize at that moment is that the lessons are just beginning. School might be out but class is in session. Life has a whole curriculum of lessons we've yet to see.

This is true no matter what field of study or career you choose to be a part of. Even further, you can say these life-long lessons have a bit more weight to them when others have to deal with the consequences of your ignorance. That's when it's serious!

If you think about it, our lives impact so many more people than we know. If we fail to take responsibility for our environment, learn everything we can, and show up to each situation as our best selves, we offer the possibility of someone around us feeling the weight of our decisions.

As I type those words above, my mind thinks about my fiance, dog, future kids, my family, and close friends. The decisions I make on a daily basis will have either a negative or positive impact on their lives. FACT!

With that being understood, so few of us choose to take that responsibility a step further. I'd imagine my guest today Stephen Scrobe has a similar list as mine. However, that list gets a little bit longer each morning before he goes into work. As a husband, father, and deputy for the Greenville County Sheriffs Office, it's safe to say his broad shoulders carry a heavy load.

What makes the load bearable is Stephens's willingness and intent to show up each day as his best self. It means committing to a life of training, learning, and improvement. It's about constantly keeping up with the world around us. If we don't evolve and change, how can we take on life's evolving lessons?

Being a beacon of hope, Stephen dedicates himself to law enforcement and the continued growth and development of his fellow officers. Through Knight's Armor, Stephen helps provide physical training, mental health services, tactical training, and more to officers and agencies across the country. It's all about improving the person to better handle the demands of their surroundings.

"KNIGHT'S ARMOR IS HERE TO GIVE OFFICERS THE CONFIDENCE TO BE BOTH THE LIGHT OF THE WORLD AND THE CALM IN THE STORM."

Jump into today's episode while Stephen and I discuss the importance of getting mentors in life, following through, re-inventing ourselves, and being and example for others.
