Sometimes I get in the mood to write notes.

Episode: Forget your Goals and Here's Why | Listened on: 03.11.21

  • The root of all suffering lies in attachment.
  • Wanting and needing things something other than the way they aren't now is what causes unhappiness.
  • So set goals, forget about them and don't be attached to the outcome. Focus on:

1. Purpose - expressing your values, and why you exist.
2. Process - the journey. Executing with excellence.
3. Growth - better every day.

Always strive for better, but success and happiness are right now, and to be felt every day. ❤️
