In this episode, Jake & Paul review the concepts brought forth by author, Ryan Holiday in Stillness Is The Key. Favorite Quotes: “Who is so talented that they can afford to bring only part of themselves to bear on a problem or opportunity?  Whose relationships are so strong that they can get away with not showing up?  Who is so certain that they'll get another moment that they can confidently skip over this one?  The less energy we waste regretting the past or worrying about the future, the more energy we will have for what's in front of us.” “All of humanity's problems,” Blaise Pascal said in 1654, “stem from man's inability to sit quietly in a room alone.” “If you wish to improve,” Epictetus once said, “be content to appear clueless or stupid in extraneous matters.” “We are restless because deep in our hearts we know now that our happiness is found elsewhere, and our work, no matter how valuable it is to us or to others, cannot take its place. But we hurry on anyway, and attend to our business because we need to matter, and we don't always realize we already do.” “We have to do the kind of thinking that 99 percent of the population is just not doing, and we have to stop doing the destructive thinking that they spend 99 percent of their time doing.”

Why is it that so many people say they "want" to make a change, but never do? We all have a vision of a better life. One that is more inspiring and fulfilling. The difference between visions that come true and visions that don't is consistent & bold action. Taking the final shot(s) to win the game instead of not taking the shot because you're afraid to mess up. In this episode, I reflect on the last 3 years since my last day at Amazon HQ and why I prefer shooting too many shot than too few. ------------------------------------------------ Listen to other top rated podcasts: Ep 43 - Have an Alpha Mindset with Sam Tooley Ep 3 - Live Better Co "Retired at 34" - Eric Hinman is an IRONMAN athlete, investor, and entrepreneur Subscribe to catch every episode. ----- Coaching - https://www.elementalcoachingproject.com/onlinecoaching Website - https://www.elementalcoachingproject.com/ Instagram - https://www.instagram.com/elemental.coaching.project
