EP 003 - Just Make the Bacon and Eggs

Appreciate and be mindful of the small, seemingly insignificant moments in your life. Understand that who you are right now is necessarily dependent on those moments, the mortar and steel that build our lives. Our goal this week is teach you that, while strength and discipline and purpose are incredibly powerful tools in building the person we so desperately want to become, the tools of vulnerability, patience, and ease are just as crucial.

There Will Be Sacrifices, Choose Them Wisely

Growth requires change. Change requires finality. Should you wish to grow, you must accept your end. You must accept the death of the person you are, in exchange for the life of the person you could be. This truth is inescapable, just as change is inescapable. So you must choose. Do you make your sacrifices now, clear-headed and freely? Or do you leave them to chance, and bind yourself to whatever fate decrees? This episode focuses on seeking out change, on outlining our strategies for choosing our sacrifices, as wisely as we are able, so that we may avoid the death of the person we dream of becoming and instead forego the person we never wished to be.
