Episode 3677:
Derek Sivers shares two compact yet profound reflections: one on the paradox of chasing goals and the other on handling hatred. In the first, he reminds us that striving too hard can backfire, sometimes what we want only comes when we stop chasing. In the second, he offers a liberating reframe: you don’t need to hate something just because it’s not for you.

Quotes to ponder:
"If you chase a fish, it will swim away. But if you go about your business calmly, it may come to you out of curiosity."
"Not liking something doesn’t mean you have to hate it."
"It’s a relief to realize you don’t have to fight everything that’s not for you."
