228. Why Seeking External Confirmation Keeps You Stuck in a Loop

A riff on some topics that are currently alive in my reality:

• Why external confirmation is an unreliable predictor of 'success' when you're in the process of building new realities – and what you should look for instead
• How to interpret shocking disruptions on the path of consistently choosing to respond to Life as your True Self
• Why going beyond mental formulas of what's worked in the past and stepping into rogue mode might ultimately yield more interesting and maybe even satisfying results
• How training your system to befriend The Mystery might be the smartest investment

(Unrelated note on the cover art: I found this toy while running near my house. He seems like the cutest duck superhero who's been through a lot and is somehow even more hope-filled than ever. Could he be the new mascot for the podcast?)
