Faith and burnout

Adam talks about how he tends to spend his spare time reading the Bible, going to church, spending time in prayer and how this develops character and is better than pursuing time wasting activities or the easy dopamine dump that does not add to sustainability or self-improvement

We are designed to do hard things – mental or physical – including pursuing Jesus – this builds stamina, character and makes you better in your career

Choosing hard things makes the hard things that you don’t choose much easier to handle

Seeking hard, painful things can reset your own personal pain scale

We can find more reward and satisfaction in the suffering than the result, less satisfaction in being done

“Re-shift your mindset to find that the goal is the struggle and you are overcoming it”

Journey over destination

“The reward comes from striving, from the journey”

“That’s the example of Jesus”

We talk about the apostle Paul and his example

Social media skews our view of other humans; it polarizes us and makes us see the worst of humanity instead of seeing the good

There is some benefit to boredom

All sacred texts talk about the need to meditate on these things, allow yourself to sit in silence and seek what you are trying to find
