SHOW NOTES:

Creating the life you want

Creating the life you want. No one really teaches you how to do it. No one, that is, but instagram gurus and world-beating entrepreneurs trying to inflate their following. I wanted to have a conversation about becoming attune to the narratives in our lives, figuring out which ones are here to stay and which ones we should let go of.

"A drastic change in perspective" - Helping a homeless man taught me the most about what is important and creating the life I want. It presented me with insights into what drives me, where I derive my fulfilments and how I can most effectively live my identity.

"I can't choose my life based off of impulses and snap responses" - Surely, at some point, I need to start listening to myself, however?

"Knowing your internal narrative and finding an external narrative that sits well with that" - Even if we know who we are and what drives us, we still have to find somethin we can follow which aligns with our identity.

"How do you know that you're doing the right thing?" - When it comes to creating the life we want and following our paath, there is no correct answer. That doesn't mean w shouldn't search for one.

"Knowing your internal narrative and finding an external narrative that sits well with that" - Even if we know who we are and what drives us, we still have to find somethin we can follow which aligns with our identity.

Intuition - When we develop, it seems to alay all of our anxieties and solve all of our problems. When we don't, it can feel like we are constantly lacking our north star.

"Is that a poison that you need to release as a result of your lifestyle?" - A lot of what we end up needing is as a result of problems we created for ourselves somewhere else in our life. We talk about living lifestyles that prevent, rather than cure, problems.

"If this is out of your comfort zone, this is not for you" - As much as commitment and following things through is imperative, do when know when to twist rather than stick? If not, how do we know if we should be here doing what we are doing?

- (00:43:24)

"That's just not where my powers lie" - We can look everywhere but ourselves to find what we want and what we see value in. At some point, we have to realise that that is not us, and it may never be. For me, I have been learning that there is nothing bad with that.

Diversity and healing - How much do we sacrifice my ideologies for our comforts? Launching too far into the unknown can leave us feeling isolated and stranded outside of our comfort zone. How do we reconsile this when it is in line with our ideologies to make sure we are living a life suited to who we are and the environments we feel comfortable in.
