      Can you bring on Muslim Guests? Since you’ve brought on Sam Harris, could you bring on Sheikh Hamza Yusuf ? An intellectual Genius who I think deserves a platform to talk about Islam? When Sam Harris said “Jihadist” Part of me knew he had no idea what he was talking about. Or the likes of Omar Sulieman, or Mohammad Hijab. Would be an interesting dialogue I think. ❤

      This quote is severely misunderstood as Socrates deprecating something, tongue in cheek. But do you think Socrates himself, given the option, would have exchanged the philosopher that he had grown into, for a more agreeable wife and increased ignorant bliss? Socrates is basically telling you "You should be so lucky as to be blessed with some adversity." It's a precursor to Seneca's "A gem cannot be polished without friction, nor a man perfected without trials."

    I too feel great when I'm in the middle of working towards something. Having said that, I think both of these men becoming fathers would enhance their perspective further. I don't know if anyone else has experienced this, but when I laid my eyes on my first born, my life, my purpose, my meaning became absolutely clear. The joy is indescribable. I question if I actually knew joy prior.

      For every person who recommends children, I've encountered someone who regrets it. You know nothing about them or their past for not wanting to have kids. They chose not to because of deep awareness of themselves. I don't understand people who push kids on others so hard. You don't have to have a child to leave a deep lasting positive impact on a younger person. And the only reason your purpose became clear is because of biology.

    I had a lofty goal/dream to become a professional downhill mountain biker and I never made it. I raced at the highest level but never got picked up by a team. Best thing that I ever did. Took me years to realize it though! I found work easy and not much of a challenge for years, then I went to Counciling and got some answers and tools to figure things out. It’s a cliche but the journey is where the fun is, being present is key to gratification and happiness (for me any way).

    Enneagram 8 here… y’all are way ahead of the curve, and thank you for continuing to share with the world what you learn.
    As an almost 42yr old, I’m still learning what motivates me after starting this journey in 2019. I’m exponentially further now, but so much left to learn 🥂
    I mention the enneagram bc it’s a BIG factor in the motivator… and when we bucket each other as anything but our personality type, it’s going to continue to be a frustrating journey.
    My 4yo daughter for example, is definitely in the “heart triad”… I don’t know if she’s a 2, 3 or 4, but she’s almost unmistakably shown signs of that base since birth.
    Why does that matter?
    I can’t apply what works for me 100% for her… it’ll never work, or at a minimum, will hold her back from her full potential.
    We’re all different… the more we embrace it and understand how to function and successfully accept those around us for who they are in the present. It will be exponentially be easier to be happy.
    It’s mind blowing for me to think some people honestly don’t want to get further than where they are now… but I can almost guarantee they’re not an 8
    Anyway… big ramble. Thank you for all that you do! It’s changing lives and helping us who do want to grow make huge strides 🥂
    Thank you 🙏

      I think they mean more long lasting happiness. Most people think for example when they make a certain amount of money annually they can relax or be happy or be content, and when they hit the goal they can be happy for a long time, maybe months, but is not a permanent state and if we don’t live our lives right we can return to dissatisfaction.

    This is the very reason that God already set us a destination which is Heaven and I realized a few months ago that it was a very intelligent and geneous idea that God gave us a destination which we can't achieve in this world or else we would've been miserable if we had achieved paradise on earth. I have experienced this personally; the joy that comes when you realize that your whole life is just a journey and the destination comes after it is just amazing, you're always in peace.
