Hustle Culture #32

09/04/20 • 25 min

There's so much pressure in society to perform, be productive and effective. We believe every moment of the day must be spent working towards our goals. Taking time off to do nothing is seen as lazy. We are taught that once we achieve a goal, it's onto the next. Taught to strive for things which don't really matter in the end.

The problem with this mindset is that it lacks balance. Rest, reflection and contentment are equally as important as achieving your goals. Ultimately, it's not about the goal, it's about the journey to the goal. Listen to hear Lu and Hazel's thoughts on how we can learn to be more content and enjoy life in the present.

"Be content with what you have; rejoice in the way things are. When you realise nothing is lacking, the whole word belongs to you." - Lao Tzu.

In the third and final instalment of the relationship mini-series, Lu is joined by her childhood friend Kemi. We discuss love languages, attachment styles and how these have affected adult relationships. The way you show someone love may not necessarily be how they wish to receive it.

The Gospel on Self-Help #33

This week's episode is centred around whether self-help ideas align with faith. The gospel teaches that we should put God first in all we do and ourselves last. Self-help teaches that you are the author of your own life and you need to put yourself first. However, focusing on yourself too much can lead to idolatry. Lu is joined with Hazel as they discuss these topics and how they remain focused on what is eternal.

The soul of a lazy man desires, and has nothing; But the soul of the diligent shall be made rich. - Proverbs 13: 3-5

Can faith and self-help coexist?

Is our generation too self-obsessed in the quest for perfection?
