THE LIFE CLUB: All the Quotes We Love to Quote

Have you ever helped someone who isn’t ready to change? Here’s why that’s a challenge:

When we seek help, we often want relief from our symptoms rather than addressing the root cause.

Relief can come easily, like a painkiller or a binge-watch session on Netflix, but true healing requires a willingness to give up what made you sick… or rather; to let go of patterns and ideas holding you back from treating the real underlying issue.

It may sound like a quite brutal idea; that sometimes, what’s making us unwell isn’t just something that just happens to us… it’s something we’re also holding on to.

Sometimes holding on to those things may feel like control, like a solution, like giving you hope, comfort… short term. But long term, they may be harmful.

And sometimes we hold on not because it’s good for us, we hold on because it’s familiar.

No wonder they are difficult to give up.

This week’s quote, a Chinese proverb, says, "Before you go to heal someone, ask if they are willing to give up what made them sick."

Hosted by Nidhi Garg and Magnus Zaar.

You don’t choose what comes your way in life - you choose the meaning.

You don’t choose the pieces that come your way - you create the arrangement.

This week, we go (far too?) deep into the quote:“Arrange whatever pieces come your way” by Virginia Woolf.

We talk about react vs respond, we talk about dharma and karma - and whether Virginia Woolf was secretly a poker player or not.

Episode 73 of THE LIFE CLUB • All the Quotes We Love to Quote is out now.Hosted by Magnus Zaar and Nidhi Garg.

This week’s quote is a Chinese proverb: “The fragrance stays in the hand that gives the rose.”

Charles Bukowski was not a yogi.

Not even close.

But still, what a quote he delivered.

The wisdom in his words resonates with both behavioral science and yogic philosophy.

In this episode, we’re dealing with double trouble, not one, but two kleshas (root causes of suffering).

And there’s plenty of ego-talk and we also touch on the Manipur chakra.

(And yes, we reveal the line that follows the quote… it might surprise you.)

Your hosts, as always: Nidhi Garg and Magnus Zaar.

Nothing in life is guaranteed.

“Whatever can happen anytime, can happen today.”

In this episode stoic and yogic wisdom go hand in hand.

The future is unpredictable, and the present moment is more precious than we usually realize.

Live today!

Because while we are postponing, life speeds by.

Don’t we all love to talk about the weather?

So this week’s episode is a real treat.

“You are the sky. Everything else is just the weather” by Pema Chödrön.

Or, as the Stoics might have said:

Focus on the sky. Let go of the weather.

Or, even more simply:

Focus on what you can control. Let go of what you can’t.

Hosted by Magnus Zaar and Nidhi Garg.

Positive Thinking Galore!

And quite a bit on non-attachment.

In this episode we invite no less than the wisdom of Hunter S Thompson into our podcast studio. The quote of the week:

“Life has become immeasurably better since I have been forced to stop taking it seriously.”

So you have two alternatives. Chose wisely.

We’re quite good at holding on to things, pretty good at clinging…

But what about letting go? Sounds easy. But in reality, well,not that easy…

Today, we discuss the art of (and the importance of) lettinggo, and hopefully offer you some support in making your choice.

"Later" is a trick of mind…

In this episode both evolution and The Buddha play a central role.

Also:

Quite a lot of talking about the yogic concept of abhyasa. And as someone said, in order to be winning in life (whatever that may mean) you only need two things: abhyasa and vairagya.

Hosted by: Nidhi Garg and Magnus Zaar.

We’re all just humans walking along on Planet Earth.

All we really do is live.

Or, so to say, walk the path of life, parallel with everyone else.

And as long as we’re here walking… we might as well do it in a friendly way.

We’re on the same path.
