Part 1 | 00:00:00 - 00:24:39 | Importance of Network
Part 2 | 00:24:39 - 00:35:08 | Leaving the legacy media, still (barely) watching sports
PART 1
- The importance of where you place your attention and focus when going through challenging times.
- Keeping chipping away at the things you know you need to be chipping away at.
- Not getting complacent when things are going well, and not getting bogged down in the negative when things aren't going as expected.
- Avoiding victim mentality - focussing and celebrating what IS going well - even in trying times.
- Persevering with things starting TODAY, focussing on what you CAN change - rather than constantly re-living painful memories.
- The fact we all have an inherent strength to get through difficult times in our lives.
- Remembering your principles and continuing on your path despite what might be happening or not happening today.
- The importance of building strong, meaningful relationships, and establishing your network.
- Find ways to help the people around you. Cultivate the give and take of support and care from friends, partners, peers, colleagues - especially during trying times.
- Reflecting on the gratitude feeling that followed receiving a lovely, thoughtful gift from a close friend that was serendipituously timely.
- The concept we keep going back to on this show; how the universe gives you breadcrumbs to keep you going in the right direction.
- The importance of storage and file management when creating content, especially video content.
PART 2
- The concept of blue pilling at times - even after taking the red pill. Finding meaning in hobbies and sports that keep you going in this life.
- Giving up on absorbing 'the news' from the legacy media almost 5 years ago - and just how difficult it is to watch even a few minutes since leaving the legacy media behind.
- How the 'breaking news' 'clickbait' and constant negativity affects us in our daily lives - filling millions of people with worry and anxiety every day. And just how much more positive and simpler life is without it.
This is a completely free plug for an excellent book by a fantastic author - The 4 Hour Work Week by Tim Ferris. This book changed the way I looked at my life, my career, my time - and is a big reason why I am doing the things I am doing today, living a life based in meaning and not wasting my time doing things I don't want to be doing.
If you want to maximise your time and resources, and think about your life in a much more constructive, forward-thinking way, do yourself a favour and give this book a read!
