THE LIFE CLUB: All the Quotes We Love to Quote

You know them, the "when in doubt"-quotes...

 "When in doubt, drink tea."

"When in doubt, take a nap."

Or even: “When in doubt, dance it out.”

Or, the quite surprising: “When in doubt, add glitter.”

But if you gather them all together, today's quote by Mpho Andrea Tutu stands above the rest.

Criticism isn’t always what it seems.

A lot of the time, people say one thing, but they mean something else. What sounds like a complaint might actually be a wish or an unmet need, a frustration they don’t know how to name.

So the criticism can often just be a cover. The real message is hiding underneath.

Listen to others. And listen to yourself.

In this episode Nidhi Garg and Magnus Zaar discuss an Esther Perel quote on criticism.

Fear is ruling our world in so many ways.

Fear arises on perceived threats and the trigger for fear is the threat of harm, real or imagined.

Fear feels uncomfortable because it's meant to. It’s supposed to ring a bell. To make us react. Or respond. Or change. Or be alert. To do something.

In this episode we talk about fear – and about how changing perspective, awareness and acceptance may help us handle that fear.

Truth is not singular.

Truth is not permanent.

Truth is human perception, culture, and language.

Sometimes truth is s whatever works.

Sometimes truth is a construct, a social construct.

“Each society has its regime of truth, its ‘general politics’ of truth.”

In this episode Rick Rubin, and our hosts Nidhi Garg and Magnus Zaar, talk about truth - and about the concept of pratipaksha; to consciously consider or cultivate an opposite perspective.

Which actually may be helpful... or as Wayne Dyer put it:

“When you change the way you look at things, the things you look at change.”

In this episode Magnus Zaar and Nidhi Garg talk about a quote from investor and risk capitalist Naval Ravikant, covering trust, avoidance and confusion... and the concept of avidya, of course.

Given the success of Naval Ravikant - this episode could very well be the billion dollar inspiration you need for unlimited personal growth. If not - then we can at least find som comfort in Bhagavad Gita, where Krishna tells Arjuna that “It is better to follow one’s own path imperfectly, than to follow another’s perfectly.”

Emotions are a source of knowledge.
