Description

Humans are fascinated with discovering the next big gimmick in goal setting or habit development. It’s all too easy to get wrapped up in an image of one’s future-self while obsessively theorizing on how to get to that desired state of being. While it's a good practice to envision your desired future-self, this kind of introspection can only take you so far. In practice, turning your vision into a reality is going to be really difficult. As soon as these difficulties begin to feel insurmountable, many of us give up. But, what if there was an insanely simple tool at our disposal? In this episode, we seek to determine the role that one’s attitude plays in setting and achieving goals. In a messy life full of things beyond our control, we believe it’s worth spending more time focusing on something that we actually have a grip on: Attitude.

Keeping up with our guests:

1. Sam appears to be struggling with finding a positive outlook these days, but in his reflections he is able to identify many reasons why. Covid-19 has hindered many of our efforts in life, and he seems to be feeling it.
2. Chase embraces his inner-voice that cheers him on in the darkest of days, and sets out to prove that there’s some truth in what it’s saying to him.
3. Ren explores how easy it is for her to get “stuck” in the future, and how important it is to be present. So what’s a healthy balance? Let’s just call it “living for your future-self”.
