If I’m not Panting, I’m not Working. Don’t be a Slacker!

Video Segment: 21:42-25:56

We often feel like we have to work 24x7. It is not uncommon to feel guilt if you are not exhausting yourself. There is so much to do and so little time. Often times, however, beneath this drive, is a belief system that might be false. We may feel like we need to be the next Bill Gates, have ten million dollars in savings, or the adoration of all of our peers. These belief systems can be like the matrix. We might not even be aware that we exist in them.

The antidote is to better understand your life purpose or your sense of calling. What is unique about what you believe?. What do you feel driven to create that comes from your core?

Don’t just swallow the myth that money will make you happy. Similarly, don’t swallow the belief that having all of your metrics moving up and to the right will make you happy. It will for a little while, but then it’ll stop making you happy.

Reflection: What is your Emma story? If it hasn’t happened yet, what do you imagine it might be? Notes
