Learning fires your joy. This morning, I got up early as I do on most days and I got on the exercise bike, but I also listened to an audiobook. And there was just something alchemic that happens when you’re moving your body, but also fuelling the student, the hungry learner within you.
Second thing I want to leave you with. Pain is potential unexpressed. So if you want to lift your
joy, learn and grow, but also remember if you’re spending all your time, watching videos and breaking news, and chit chatting, and playing with your devices, and playing games versus getting in the pocket of world class and honoring your potential so you live a world class life and do work that endures the generations. If you just waste your time and waste your talent, if you betray the genius that longs to see the light of day. Well, what starts to happen is this psychic pain starts to well up inside you. And more than anything else, you start to disrespect yourself at a conscious and subconscious level. This is very profound. I want you to think about this later.
If you betray your potential, you start to disrespect yourself and you start to fall into self
betrayal. And that builds this huge subconscious reservoir of low self worth. And that’s why you just sort of give up, you have apathy, there’s no sparkle in your eye, you don’t walk towards your fears anymore, you don’t really care that much about your work, and your love, and your health, and your life and you resign yourself to the cult of mediocrity rather than playing in the place where you and I both know you belong to be. In the rare-air of mastery.
