What is it about our minds that make us more impatient the closer we get to our goal? We all want to get where we are going “yesterday.” The problem sometimes develops that we become so focused on “getting there,” that we forget to be a human being in the midst of it. We become a human doing instead.

 

 

About the Podcast 🎙

This episode explores the importance of living intentionally and enjoying the journey of life rather than rushing toward goals. Angela reflects on themes like impatience, the overwhelming nature of to-do lists, and the need to prioritize meaningful experiences over tasks.

Key Takeaways 💡
  • Impatience is a universal experience, whether in children eagerly awaiting a destination or adults anticipating significant life events like retirement. This impatience often detracts from enjoying the present moment.
  • People often become so focused on achieving their goals that they forget to enjoy the journey, turning into 'human doings' rather than 'human beings.' This mindset can lead to stress and a lack of fulfillment.
  • The overwhelming nature of to-do lists and societal pressure to accomplish tasks can prevent individuals from appreciating life. Proactive life planning, such as budgeting and estate planning, can help alleviate this stress.
  • Life humbles individuals as they age, prompting a reevaluation of priorities. True fulfillment comes from embracing meaningful moments and relationships rather than merely completing tasks.
  • The fast pace of modern life, driven by technology and multitasking, often detracts from quality time with loved ones. Reflecting on screen time and being more intentional with technology can help reclaim meaningful experiences.
  • Slowing down to appreciate the present moment is essential.
  • Angela introduces a new approach to life planning, focusing on tools and challenges to help listeners live purposefully rather than adding more resolutions to their to-do lists.
  • Visualizing one's last day on earth and considering potential regrets can provide clarity on what truly matters. Reflecting on life goals and aligning actions with values is crucial for living intentionally.
  • Creating a daily habit to identify and embrace priorities can help individuals stay aligned with their values. Simple reminders or rituals can reinforce intentional living.
  • The episode concludes with a challenge for listeners to ask themselves daily how they will embrace their priorities, emphasizing the importance of living with purpose and intention.
