  Welcome to The Daily Quote, the podcast designed to kick start
• 0:07
  your day in a positive way. I'm your host, Andrew McGivern.
• 0:10
  And let's jump into today's quote from Rudyard Kipling from
• 0:14
  his favorite work, The Jungle Book.
• 0:17
  He once wrote for the strength of the pack is the wolf, and the
• 0:21
  strength of the wolf is that pack.
• 0:25
  Read that again. It works both ways.
• 0:29
  The pack is only as strong as each individual wolf, and each
• 0:33
  wolf is only as strong as the pack supporting it.
• 0:36
  This is the paradox of achievement.
• 0:38
  You need both. You need individual excellence.
• 0:42
  The wolf who trains, who hones their skills, who shows up
• 0:46
  ready. Without strong individuals, the
• 0:49
  pack is weak. One person slacking doesn't just
• 0:53
  hurt them, it weakens everyone. But you also need the pack, the
• 0:58
  support system, the team, the community.
• 1:02
  Because even the strongest wolf can't hunt alone for long.
• 1:06
  Even the most talented individual needs others to reach
• 1:10
  their full potential. Most people pick one side.
• 1:15
  They either think I've got to do this alone or the team will
• 1:20
  carry me. Both are wrong.
• 1:23
  Your individual strength contributes to the collective.
• 1:26
  Your dedication makes everyone around you better.
• 1:30
  Your excellence raises the standard.
• 1:33
  But the collective also makes you stronger.
• 1:36
  The pack gives you resources you don't have alone.
• 1:39
  Support when you're weak, perspective when you're lost,
• 1:43
  accountability when you drift. Kipling understood.
• 1:48
  These aren't opposing forces, They're complementary.
• 1:51
  The wolf and the pack need each other.
• 1:54
  So here's the question, are you strengthening your pack through
• 1:58
  your individual excellence? Are you letting the pack
• 2:02
  strengthen you? Because you need both.
• 2:05
  Strength of the pack is the wolf and the strength of the wolf is
• 2:09
  the pack. That's going to do for today.
• 2:13
  I'm Andrew McGivern, signing off for now, but I'll be back
• 2:17
  tomorrow. Same pod time, same pod station
• 2:22
  with another daily quote.
