"Accept where you are at and take responsibility for where you will end up."

In this episode, I remind you what self improvement is all about: Developing Character. It is necessary to focus on acting out better thoughts, behaviors, and actions, but equally as important to focus on removing the flawed parts about ourselves. Unfortunately, we often forget this part, which is I why I wanted to remind you of it today.

"You cannot expect to change in places that do not challenge you."

I really enjoyed  making this episode, as I love when philosophy and psychology blend together. In it, I used the metaphor of a storm to explain the hidden meaning you find when you overcome a challenge that provoke fear, anxiety, worry, etc.

"If you are not consistently failing, you are not consistently growing."

Welcome back! I took a small break from making these episodes, as school is picking up, so I am super excited about presenting you with this episode. In it, I talked about why perfection is not the best value to have, and then dive deep into three important concepts regarding the illusion of perfection.

"You do not have to accept negative thoughts. If you take a minute to look at them, you'll often realize they have no evidence supporting them."

"Always try to continue to better yourself, but keep an open mind."

In the longest episode yet, I interviewed my good friend, Matt Rittmueller. We discussed his challenges with Crohn's disease and how he handled it. Additionally, we talked about how beneficial weight lifting can be for your mental health, confidence, and more. For my first real interview (my first guest episode with Tommy was not really an interview), I am pleased with it, and hope you are too!

"You have to be the catalyst for change in your own life."

Life is about constantly improving your individual self. I made this episode with the hopes that it will inspire you to act. I discuss the turning point where I started to make things happen, and relate it to the story of the "Hero's Journey." In doing so, I explain how you can begin to take charge of your life.

"Having a resilient mindset will provide you with a path to happiness, because it puts your life in your control."

I am not exactly sure why, but the word "Resilient" has always resonated with me. I believe it is an extremely powerful word to describe a strong, healthy mindset. My goal in the next couple of months is to publicly speak about the importance of mindset. In this episode, I explain why your mindset is your superpower, and how you can develop a mindset of equanimity.
