129 UnF Yourself: I Got This! The Art of Self-Ownership
Manage episode 501374335 series 3450232
We explore Gary John Bishop's powerful message that no matter what obstacles we face, we already possess the inner strength to overcome them, though this doesn't mean we have perfect solutions or easy paths forward.
• Negative experiences rarely stay contained – they spread like toxic chemicals into all aspects of our lives
• There's no such thing as work-life balance because we have one integrated life where everything bleeds together
• Reflecting on past challenges helps us recognize our resilience and ability to persevere
• Getting connected to reality versus living in emotionally-soaked self-talk narratives changes our perspective
• Viewing life as a train track helps us see current problems as just one small segment of our journey
• Self-ownership means keeping your hands on the wheel and recognizing your agency in life's direction
• Life contains multitudes – both good and bad experiences that shape us into resilient beings
