We’re back with Part 2 on Philosophies on Overcoming Adversity! Last week we started the conversation by diving into our thoughts on a Chasing Excellence episode, and today we dig into it even more.

In today’s episode (Part 1!) Sarah and Journey start the discussion around life philosophy, gratitude, and mindset by reflecting on a recent episode of Chasing Excellence called “Every Element of Existence is a Gift”. Largely centered around the idea of overcoming adversity, we chat about the themes from the Chasing Excellence episode and propose our own strategies and ideologies. Stay tuned- to be continued next week!!

If you're an Oat Life regular, you know we talk about goals all of the time. Today, we took a slightly different approach. Instead of discussing goal-setting tactics, we reflect on why we set the goals we do. In other words, what motivates us? This episode was inspired by a listener question which asked us how to determine whether the goals we set are fueled by a true passion for what we do, or are influenced by the idea of “success” perpetrated by our individualistic and capitalist society. From considering our own relationships with neoliberalism to assessing what it means to be passionate about something, we talk about our own interpretations of this question and share the strategies we each use to consider the motivation behind what we do.

We’d love to hear your thoughts on this topic and how you assess your motivations. DM us on Instagram @itstheoatlife or email us at [email protected] with thoughts, feedback, and questions!
