We all want an exciting life... but too often we expect our jobs, our people, the things we buy and even the place where we live to generate that excitement for us. In this episode, I encourage you to take back the responsibility and explore how you can be an active creator of passion instead of passively depending on the outside world.

It's normal to suck when you try something new, like writing or freelancing or entrepreneurship. But how you THINK about the suck is what’s going to influence your enjoyment (or lack thereof) on the journey. If you want to keep going, you gotta learn to “embrace the suck” - as hikers sometimes say - and I teach you how in this episode.

I am a fan of feelings and a sensitive person - but I know some of them are optional and even detrimental to our growth. We don't always have to be at the mercy of our hearts... we can practice directing our intrusive thoughts towards more helpful ways of thinking, which in turn is going to affect how we feel on a daily basis. I talk about how to approach this in today's episode.

Building a life you don’t feel the need to escape from is not just about where you live, what you do and who you’re with. It’s mostly about what goes on between your ears.We have to know how to calm the tension of short-term cravings and how to stick around for long-term desires… otherwise we’ll spend our whole lives planting seeds, getting bored, planting seeds elsewhere and getting bored again. In this episode, I teach how to make the difference between what you crave right now, and what you want most in your life.
