It's not what you look at, it's what you see.
In this episode, I discuss some commonly held misconceptions about life and what we can do about them.
#1. Life is Fair: We are essentially presented a choice, remain immobilized by cosmic injustices OR make the most with the hands we have been dealt. As the stoics say, accept what you cannot control, change what you can.
#2. Knowledge is King: Knowledge alone is a car without wheels. Knowledge plus execution, on the other hand, can take you anywhere.
#3. There is a Right Way: No one has all the answers. There is not a right or wrong way. There are simply 8 billion souls on the planet trying to figure life out as it comes.
#4. Discomfort is a Negative: As counterintuitive as it seems, life's greatest opportunities are a product of its most challenging moments.
#5. People Think About You Often: Humans tend to be self-interested and are most likely thinking about themselves, not you. Remember that next time you are inclined to alter you decision-making based on the "opinions" of others.
#6 Happiness is Acquired: Happiness can't be found. It starts internally and is projected out.
#7. There is Always Tomorrow: Tomorrow is not certain. Our trips around the sun are finite. Let's treat every day like the precious commodity it truly is.
