Today’s episode we reflect on life plans not working, and two ways to take a step back to change our perception and realise it may actually have worked for you after all - albeit differently.

Key Takeaways 

  • Seeing personal growth that you may have missed  
  • Why being kind to yourself is difficult, and the psychology behind it Clinical Psychologist Christopher K Germer's take on self-compassion 
  • Why your life is bigger than any plan you have made 
  • Inspiration from the "Mountain Man" - Dashrath Manjhi who paved a single-handedly carved a path through a 300-foot mountain with hand tools 
  • Trusting yourself instead of blaming 

Quotes of Wisdom 

  • "Allowing yourself to be self-compassionate can open flood-gates to times you may have felt deprived of that compassion." 
  • "Trust yourself more than your plans. You made the plans, the plans didn't make you."
