Monkey Effect: When Others Dump Their Problems on You

Host: Scott Smith

Episode Description:

Scott explores how people try to burden us with their problems (their “monkeys”) and how this affects our ability to pursue our goals. Through a personal story from his fifth grade, he illustrates why we should be mindful of taking on others' responsibilities while managing our challenges, especially during New Year's resolution season.

Key Takeaways:

- External influences and others' agendas are constantly trying to impact your path

- Everyone has their own "monkeys" (challenges/problems) to deal with already

- Big goals naturally come with challenges, but they shouldn't be overcomplicated

- Saying "no" without explanation is sometimes necessary to protect your time and energy

Featured Story:

Scott shares a memorable childhood story about his fifth-grade teacher, who literally put a monkey on his back while visiting her home. This amusing yet pointed anecdote is a metaphor for how people frequently try to burden others with their problems and responsibilities, demonstrating why we should be cautious about taking on others' challenges.

Scott's Three-Step Approach:

1. Expect others will try to distract you with their problems and learn to say "no" without explanation

2. Don't overcomplicate or self-sabotage by putting monkeys on your own back

3. Avoid putting your monkeys on other people's backs - they'll just return them anyway

Memorable Quotes:

- "Life is your circus, and you are in charge of your monkeys."

- "You've got your dreams, ambitions, goals, desires, all the things you want to do... And while they may be good, they can still feel like a monkey on your back."

- "Not my monkey, not my circus."
