Life itself is a daunting journey but how does someone power-walk through it all without losing the core of one’s identity? How does someone rise from the rubble that a deeply-set sense of inadequacy brings? In today’s episode, Rock Thomas walks us through the trail of self-discovery and the race that he chose to quit in order to become not just another pebble by the road.

“Do we need to achieve to be happy or can we happily achieve?” - Rock Thomas

Three Things We Learned

• Changing your self-perception is key to personal growth

Humans are no enlightened buddhas who have gone past comparing themselves with everyone around them. In fact, humans are conditioned to look good, or at the very least, to not look bad. But developing a better relationship with oneself, practicing internal conversations that speak of appreciation for what we have, and not fixating on what makes us less stellar in the eyes of others who seek the same validation, will keep us going for the long haul.

• A proper filing system breeds action

People need to have two filing cabinets to keep record of where they’re good at and where they fail. But ninety percent of the time, humans file what they do as pain, and this results in fear that leads to inaction. People must learn how to reward themselves for trying and to tally failures as learning experiences that will help them see their life options.

• To happily achieve is always the better goal

People often make the mistake of thinking that achieving will make them happy. This is often not the case to achieve true personal and professional growth. Gratitude for the moment and the journey, even when the finish line is a distant and uncertain prospect, is something we can all take as the right way to happily achieve whatever success is bound our way.

We make what we become of ourselves. Other people will always have something to say and life is a mystery that we will spend every day solving. But following the trail with your self-made identity can never go wrong, and at the end of the day how you see yourself is what matters.
