Helping Everyday People in Challenging Situations Become Resilient
Dee Hankins
3-Bucket Philosophy
Bucket 1 (My Choices)
This is the bucket of absolute control. It contains every choice you make, from your actions and words to your reactions to life's events. This is the only bucket you can actively work in to strenghten your Core Four.
My 3-Bucket Philosophy is a simple, powerful framework that helps you fortify your Core Four—your spiritual, financial, physical, and mental health. This is how you become unshakably resilient in the face of any challenge.
By mastering My 3-Bucket Philosophy, you are choosing to stop wasting energy on what you can't change and instead focus your power on what truly matters.
The outcome is a life transformed by the power of absolute responsibility. Once you master the art of keeping your buckets separate and focus solely on your own choices, you will no longer be held back by misplaced blame or the futility of frustration.
You will become the unshakable force in your own life, strengthening every aspect of your Core Four - spiritual, financial, physical, and mental health. The result is not just a more resilient version of you, but the most powerful version, equipped to face any challenge and emerge stronger.
About DEE HANKINS
From Suitcase to Stages: A Foster Child's Journey.
I entered foster care at just two months old and spent much of my childhood moving from home to home, struggling with feelings of rejection, trust issues, and anger. Statistically, the odds were against me, many young men in foster care drop out of school or end up in prison. But a life-changing scholarship program opened my eyes, showed me that people do care, and gave me the push I needed to pursue education. I went on to graduate from California State University, Long Beach with a B.S. in Criminal Justice. Today, I use my story and my gift for speaking to encourage resilience, inspire hope, and remind students that while life throws curveballs, even curveballs can be hit for home runs.
