#104 - Dr. Ryan Lowery | It’s Almost Friday

Episode #104 In this episode of What The Fat, I talk about a frustrating conversation I overheard at the gym. The guy was complaining about how miserable he was at his high paying job  and how he couldn’t wait to go to Cancun for a weekend trip with his wife.  This really struck a cord with me and got me thinking about choosing a career based off of fulfillment and passion vs one of monetary significance. Unfortunately, I think a lot of people can relate to wishing away their week waiting for the weekend or some future event to be “happy”. In this episode I hope to shift your perspective on work and life and help you realize that at the end of the day you’re ultimately the one who makes the choice.   Enjoy The Show!   Takeaways Do you wish away the week dreaming about the weekend? If so this episode is for you. At the end of the day, we have to realize that we are in control of our own lives and happiness. When you stop saying “I have to” and start saying “I choose to” you start to see that you hold the power and not someone else.   Links and Resources Dr. Ryan Lowery Website  Dr. Ryan Lowery Instagram Dr. Ryan Lowery Facebook Dr. Ryan Lowery Youtube Dr. Ryan Lowery Twitter   Show Notes: 3:30 What I Overheard In The Gym That Got Me Worked Up 6:53 How Many People Would Wish For Your Monday? 10:30 The Problem With Saying “I Have To”   Tweetables   “You have to look in the mirror and say I’m choosing this path’”   “A lot of people think money drives happiness in the workplace, but it doesn’t”   “How many people would wish for your Monday”   “I would rather make $20,000 a year and scrape by than make $100,000 and be miserable as long as I’m fulfilled and happy in that $20,000 job”   “When people say “I have to” they don’t realize it, but they’re ultimately giving their power to someone else”   “You’re ultimately the one making the choice”   If you like today’s episode, subscribe on Apple Podcasts at What The Fat and leave us a 5-star, positive review.
