I really needed to hear this. I rarely listen to podcasts over 10 min. My brain goes all over place and I don’t soak anything in (honestly think ADD / ADHD not sure, never diagnosed wasn’t a thing years years ago). But I listened to it. Took me awhile to finish and try to process. I’ve spiraled out of control in self pity due to remodeling issues on our home 4yrs ago. Still not completed and livable barely due to an incompetent scammer contractor. But thank you for this… I’m trying to find that strong person and release the chaos to get this house back together again for my kids & family.
3:48 "When your motivation comes from the right place, then you are impervious to the circumstances around you affecting your motivation." - Dr. Alok Kanojia
Cycling between feeling like I genuinely don't care about achieving or improving anything, to feeling crushed and devastated by my chronic failure, terrified by having achieved nothing for so long and seeing the life I'd wanted, and assumed I'd live, become closer and closer to impossible. Wanting to change so much it hurts. Optimistically "Try" changes for a day or few, then suddenly wake up completely apathetic. Wishing I could give AF, but just don't, at all. Until I really do again. Rinse, waste more time, repeat. 🔁 💔
I’ve really relate to this comment; I have that exact same flip flopping in terms of my emotional response to em failing at wha I thought I’d achieve in life. For me it was a dream job in an industry that’s now collapsing and is 100% about who you know rather than your skills. I’ve accepted I’ll probably never get a job in the animation industry or work for companies like Disney, Nickelodeon etc, but not completely ruling out the possibility. For me I try and find goals I’m 100% in control of, like I can’t force a hiring manager to give me a job at Nickelodeon no matter how much I network or email them but I CAN work on my own independent projects and maybe there’s a chance they catch the eye of someone in the industry. But if not that’s fine too
Interesting interview with Dr. K. There was a similar interview on Huberman where the person mentioned that the action(or putting in the work) is tied to increasing dopamine. I am taking this as don’t the outcome chase the dopamine of putting in work
Took me four days at 30 min intervals to get through this. Fiinally after all the stories we get to the point during the last ten minutes which is basically "Don't wait till you feel like it" and "Parent yourself" and make yourself do it. Wow, brilliant. An hour and a half of my life I can't get back. I'm not sure the point of the guest. It seems like he was interrupted and cut off before we got to his message. What WAS his message? Anyone?
Today I Pray, LORD, I Am sorry (I failed; I've sinned; I Am such a burden for YOU); Please forgive me; Thank You; I Love You; I Am Grateful, by the Power of the Holy Spirit in Jesus name, CEEPORT; CEEPORT; CEEPORT, my entire life, AMEN 🪬🧘🏾♀️❤️💔😢🌹🌹🌹.
Dear beloved I had suicidal thoughts because I could not forgive myself for the sins I have committed. But in the Bible God tells us if we confess our sins (as you did) that God will forgive us. God's forgiveness is a free gift from Him. We just have to accept it. I want you to know that you have a purpose here on earth. To be a blessing to others.

Great reminder to not let my feelings rule my life! Our world is set up to indulge in feelings.
Just what I needed, on point - thank you 🙏🏽

This pendulum you speak of is that eternal dance. The fight between the concious and the subconcious.
There is a motto in Spanish " don't ask who died, start crying" so take action. Love the 5 seconds rule.

Do you believe in any correlation between Vedic astrology and career path/trajectory? Is knowing this information a boon or obstacle?

You’re not failing and you’re not a burden for God.
This is a Gold interview 🤌
