Podcast Notes Key Takeaways
  • External achievements never create lasting happiness 
    • Sadly, the best way to internalize this is actually to obtain those achievements 
  • We were put on Earth to live our life to the fullest – fulfill your desires, collect new experiences, and try new things (just don’t go crazy)
  • Open relationships are HARD
  • The pillars of a good life:
    • Take care of your body
    • Lean into discomfort
    • Cultivate and maintain a healthy community
  • Quotes to ponder:
    • “Truth is love. Tell the truth and loving everyone is the same thing. You can’t love someone without telling them the truth.'”– Aubrey Marcus
      • “Our purpose here is to wake up to the truth of who we are, and all of the truth around us… If we’re all here to wake up to that truth, and we’re shielding that truth from somebody, we’re doing them a great disservice.”
    • “In a healthy relationship, instead of serving someone from your cup, you actually serve them from the overflow that fills the saucer around the cup. That way, no one’s ever drinking from their own cup of love, resources, or energy.” Aubrey Marcus
