College, finances, unquestioned family obligations, status, home ownership, status. These are common goals that we are conditioned to respect and strive for because…well, because it’s just “common knowledge” that they build a good life. Brian Bogert, Human Behavior Coach, Entrepreneur, Philanthropist, and all-around inspiring guy joins Refractive to discuss the auto-programming of expectations that is so common (and painful) in today’s world. Has your life been focused on what really matters to you? Have you weighed your life goals against your values, or are your goals based on an unexamined fear of struggle if certain concepts of “security” and “happiness” aren’t checked off? Have you been willing to look at painful experiences as springboards to joy, freedom, peace, growth, and beauty? This episode is all about honoring the guidance your highest self gives as the absolute shortest path to a life of serenity, fulfillment, security, and joy.
