#534: Be a Badass - Obstacles

Listen Later

The difference between ordinary and extraordinary is in how you face obstacles.

 

Your brain is hardwired to seek comfort and avoid growth, which keeps you stuck in mediocrity - in the ordinary.

 

This wiring, known as the Motivational Triad, is great for survival but terrible for achieving greatness.

  

In this episode, I’m breaking down the obstacles that stand between you and the badass version of yourself and the key to overcoming them. 

 

What You Will Discover:

 

  • Why your brain's motivational triad (conserving energy, avoiding pain, seeking pleasure) directly sabotages extraordinary achievement.
  • How fragility and constant excuse-making weaken your ability to create results.
  • The hidden cost of approval-seeking and why you're wasting energy trying to please people you don't even respect.
  • What drama and negativity bonding really do to your mental fortitude and creative capacity.
  • The difference between self-love and self-coddling, and why one strengthens while the other weakens.
  • How to use negative emotions as opportunities to build strength instead of reasons to retreat.
  • Why accepting you're both good and bad, right and wrong, frees up massive energy for creation.
