Jeff Gibbard: Becoming a Hero by Your Own Choice

Description

In this episode, Dr. George James and Jeff Gibbard discuss:

Being heroic and healthy
Passion is birthed by pain
Poking holes into the lies
Don’t sell yourself short

Key Takeaways:

Burying your emotions and pushing through despite suffering is very heroic, but not psychologically sustainable. There needs to be an element of self-care if you want to create the most good.
Passion is often birthed by pain or compelled by trauma, but it has to be sustained by resolve and by choice. Be a hero by your own choice, and not by the choice of your demons.
Stop wasting your time by beating yourself up. Negative thoughts are lies or founded on lies, but they’re so powerful that at times, we believe them. Poke holes into those lies, argue with them.
Don’t sell yourself short. There’s so many facets of life that you have the potential to contribute that others may not have. You have value to give, believe that.

"What good is it taking your time just beating yourself over who you are?.. It put me in a position where it was very hard to hurt me, because I already like me..." — Jeff Gibbard
