    Arthur Schopenhauer - “Every man takes the limits of his own field of vision for the limits of the world.”

Arthur Schopenhauer (1788–1860) was a German philosopher best known for his influential work on human nature, desire, suffering, and the search for meaning. His major work, The World as Will and Representation, argued that much of human behavior is driven by an endless striving for things we want. His ideas later influenced thinkers such as Nietzsche, Freud, and Jung.Arthur Schopenhauer once said… “Every man takes the limits of his own field of vision for the limits of the world.” We all have our own perspective on reality. What we see and experience can feel like the whole picture simply because it is the only picture we have. We see the world through our upbringing, education, culture, religion, beliefs, experiences and our assumptions. The world we experience is the world we can see. If we have never experienced something it is difficult to see it as real. Or even to imagine it. The same is true when we engage with someone who sees the world completely differently. Someone can see a situation completely differently than you, without being crazy, stupid, dishonest or unreasonable. They are simply looking at the same thing you are, but with different filters or from a different angle or perspective. There is a huge difference between I haven’t see it yet and it doesn’t exist. It depends on whether you have an open mind or closed one. Having an open mind does not mean you believe everything. It means being willing to examine your assumptions and update them when the evidence warrants it. This is particularly relevant in today’s world where we are bombarded with negative news every day. If we are doomscrolling and see only conflict, disaster and decline, then it is easy to draw a conclusion that that is what the world actually looks like. But if you expand your field of vision to include all the amazing progress and positive developments that don’t usually get the same attention then you start to see the world a little differently. This podcast is brought to you by the Great News podcast where you get inspiring stories and developments making the world a better place. If you want to expand your perspective, and shatter the limits of your own field of vision so you can see the good in the world then listen to Great News today. The link is in the show notes.

Bruce Lee lived from 1940 to 1973 and he founded the martial arts philosophy and system Jeet Kun Do. He became a cultural icon through films such as Enter the Dragon and The Way of the Dragon. His philosophy emphasized adaptability, self discipline, personal growth, and taking action instead of talking about change. Bruce Lee once said… “To hell with circumstances; I create opportunities.” I think the key word in this quote is create. Bruce Lee is saying that instead of waiting around for circumstances to change and for opportunities to appear, why not look for ways to manufacture one. I don’t think that Bruce Lee was saying that circumstances are not real. Whatever problems you are facing are probably real. But I believe Bruce is saying that the solution is real too. We can’t control everything that happens to us but we can control how we respond. And quite often opportunities do appear but they are disguised as problems. And in trying to overcome the problem the opportunity becomes clear. So here’s the question: What problem or circumstance is blocking you in achieving what you want? And have you looked at how you can turn the problem into an opportunity? There is probably a way. So create it… today! That’s going to do it for today.

    Henrik Ibsen -“A thousand words leave not the same deep impression as does a single deed”

    Welcome to⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ the Daily Quote⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠, the podcast designed to kickstart your day in a positive way. I'm your host, Andrew McGivern, and this episode is brought to you by ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠the Great News podcast⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠.

Support the show ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Buy me a coffee ⁠ Today’s quote comes form Henrik Ibsen, a Norwegian playwright and poet who lived from 1828 to 1906. He is widely regarded as the founder of modern drama and his plays challenged social conventions and explored themes like individual freedom, morality, marriage, and personal responsibility. He is known for A Doll’s House, Hedda Galber, Ghosts, and Peer Gynt. Henrik Ibsen once said… “A thousand words leave not the same deep impression as does a single deed” What this quote is essentially saying is that talk is cheap. Anybody can say anything. It is easy to say you are going to do this. You are going to learn that. Words are easy and cost you little. Action is harder and has a cost. Saying you will change. Saying you will help someone. Saying you will start something new or become a better person requires nothing of you. No effort or commitment. Actually working on your habits, showing up to help a friend, launching a project or taking a first step to get the help you need… has the power of 1000 words. If you don’t say you will change and then do the work to make the change then the evidence will speak for itself much more powerfully then words alone. This doesn’t mean words don’t matter. Words can inspire, teach, connect. Words do have weight. The language you use affects your psychology and impacts the people around you. Negative self talk is damaging. Words can hurt other people. Words do have power. The point of the quote is that action speaks louder than words. Think about all the great progress we’ve seen throughout history. It didn’t happen just by people talking about it. People actually built things, invented things, volunteered, created and designed. So here’s the question: What is one thing you've been talking about that could become much more powerful if you simply did it? That’s going to do it for today.

    Plato - “The first and greatest victory is to conquer yourself”

    Welcome to⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ the Daily Quote⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠, the podcast designed to kickstart your day in a positive way. I'm your host, Andrew McGivern, and this episode is brought to you by ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠the Great News podcast⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠. Because great news should be heard, and the link is ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠right here⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ in the show notes. Support the show ➡ ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Buy me a coffee ⁠ Today’s quote is from Plato. He was an ancient Greek philospher and one of the most influencial thinkers in Western history. A student of Socrates and a teacher of Aristotle, Plato explored justice, knowledge, virtue, politics, love, and what it means to live a good life. Plato once said, “The first and greatest victory is to conquer yourself” This is so true. The only person that truly has the ability to hold yourself back is YOU. Managing our own impulses, reactions and emotions is hard. Self-mastery is not about suppressing yourself. It isn’t about having less freedom. It is about being able to choose your response before automatically reacting. It is about taking control of your habits instead of letting your habits unconsciously controlling you. Self-mastery actually gives you more freedom by giving you more choices. Don’t be a slave to your impulses and bad habits. The battles we face are not always external. Even when facing an external conflict or circumstance the real obstacle isn’t the circumstance itself but the story we are telling ourselves about the circumstance. Plato is saying the best thing you can do, your greatest victory, is to conquer yourself! To overcome the internal struggle that is limiting your potential. The longer version of Plato’s quote takes this idea a step further though. “The first and greatest victory is to conquer yourself; to be conquered by yourself is of all things most shameful and vile.” Plato is saying not only is self-mastery the greatest victory you can achieve, but that failing to do so is the worst possible outcome. To be conquered by yourself is of all things most shameful and vile. Think about your own life and how failing to conquer yourself is hurting you. Maybe it is the bad habit of procrastination. You didn’t consciously choose this habit. You acquired it over time. Maybe it is time to conquer it. Maybe it is a limiting belief that you acquired from your family, religion, culture or friends. If this belief is stopping your progress then it is time to replace it with an empowering belief. Beliefs are just thoughts we have labeled as truth. Maybe you have an irrational fear of moving outside your comfort zone. Maybe you don’t want to put yourself out there because you might be criticized or laughed at. Maybe you just can’t play life at the next level because you fear failure, or fear success or fear change. Maybe you know what you need to do but you sabotage yourself every time. Overcoming these internal challenges are the greatest victories you can have in life. So here’s the question: What is one part of yourself you’d like to have a little more control over today? And what can you do right now to conquer that part of yourself? Personal progress is worth celebrating. We often look for huge external achievements, while some of our most important victories happen quietly inside us. The key insight here is that those little internal victories make the external big wins possible! This is why Plato says the FIRST and greatest victory is to conquer yourself. Put the oxygen mask on yourself first… That’s going to do it for today. I’m Andrew McGivern signing off for now, but I’ll be back… tomorrow! Same pod time, same pod station with another Daily Quote.

    Sigmund Freud - “One day, in retrospect, the years of struggle will strike you as the most beautiful.”

    Welcome to⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ the Daily Quote⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠, the podcast designed to kickstart your day in a positive way.

He lived from 1856 to 1939 and was an Austrian neurologist and the founder of psychoanalysis. He developed influential ideas about the unconscious mind, dreams, personality and the how hidden thoughts and desires can influence human behaviour. His work had a major impact on psychology, psychiatry, literature and Western Culture. Sigmund Freud once said… “One day, in retrospect, the years of struggle will strike you as the most beautiful.” I think this idea is absolutely true. This quote is from a letter Freud wrote to Carl Jung that encouraged Jung to continue his work despite opposition. This quote is all about perspective. Something that feels exhausting, frustrating and difficult today will probably look completely differently looking back years later. The struggle creates memories, meaningful experiences , life lessons and was personality building. Struggle brings people together. Friends, Colleagues, Partners, Clients or Competitors can be united during a time of struggle or to achieve a common goal. You may have long term relationships, right now, that you would not have if not for a major struggle. That doesn’t mean all suffering has a silver lining. Some stuff just needs to be let go. During a difficult period you may be focused just on getting through it but then you realize you were making yourself stronger, building yourself better. The journey is more important than the destination. The quest is what you remember not the reward at the end. The mission is what makes you. Not the target.The journey is where the growth is. The destination is less valuable without the journey. So here’s the question: What difficult period in your life do you look back on differently now and what did it give you that you couldn’t see at the time?There is probably something in your life right now that made it all worth it. That’s going to do it for today. I’m Andrew McGivern signing off for now, but I’ll be back… tomorrow! Same pod time, same pod station with another Daily Quote.

    Hans Christian Anderson - “The whole world is full of miracles, but we’re so used to them we call them everyday things.”

A Danish Author who lived from 1805 to 1875 and is best known for writing well known fairy tales like The Little Mermaid, The Ugly Duckling, The Emperor’s New Clothes and more. He also wrote many plays, novels and autobiographies but it was the fairy tales that made him famous. Hans Christian Anderson once said… “The whole world is full of miracles, but we’re so used to them we call them everyday things.” Oh yeah… this is definitely true. This quote was coined over 125 years ago and Anderson saw everyday miracles back then. Today, we have giant flat screens on our walls, the internet, Artificial Intelligence, smart phones, social media, and more. Actually, in H.C. Anderson’s time, penicillin wasn’t even invented yet. So people would die from simple infections. That is an everyday miracle all by itself. The whole world has changed, in many ways, for the better. And we don’t generally think about it and feel grateful for all these ordinary, everyday things. Why? Because familiarity makes the extraordinary invisible. We see the sunrise so often we forget how beautiful it is. We breathe constantly and forget that it is an incredible miracle to be alive. Gratitude is in a way an exercise in noticing the everyday things. We don’t need more amazing things in our lives (although more great things are coming). What we really need is to notice the amazing things we all already have. Compared to the past (lets say 100 to 300 years ago), we have a much better standard of living. We have a much longer life expectancy, we have better better health care and faster transportation. In almost every measurable way, we are significantly better off. There are countless more miracles in our lives these days but we still don’t recognize them as miracles. We see them as everyday things. So here’s the qutestion: What can you see in your life as the miracle that it is and not as ordinary thing? I bet there is a lot of miracles in your life. That’s going to do it for today.

    Søren Kierkegaard - “Life can only be understood backwards; but it must be lived forwards.”

Today’s quote comes from the Danish philosopher Søren Kierkegaard, who once said… “Life can only be understood backwards; but it must be lived forwards.” Søren Kierkegaard was a 19th-century Danish philosopher and writer whose work explored questions of faith, choice, individuality, anxiety, and what it means to live an authentic life. And I think there’s something really powerful in this quote. We often want to understand everything before we move forward. Why did that relationship end? Why did that opportunity fall through? Why did I make that decision? Where exactly is my life going? But sometimes, we simply can't know. Life gives us the explanation later. Think about some of the experiences in your own life that seemed confusing or painful at the time. Years later, you may have been able to look back and say, “Now I understand why that happened.” That's the backwards part.Hindsight gives us perspective.But here's the important part: Kierkegaard says life must be lived forwards. We can't wait until everything makes sense before we take the next step.We have to make decisions with incomplete information. We have to move forward without knowing exactly where the road will lead. And sometimes, the meaning of an experience only becomes clear because we kept moving.So perhaps the lesson isn't to figure out your entire life before you live it. Look backward for wisdom. But look forward for possibility. Your past can help explain where you've been, but it doesn't have to determine where you're going. So here's the question: What if you don't need to understand everything before taking the next step? That's going to do it for today.

    Seneca - “No person has the power to have everything they want, but it is in their power not to want what they don’t have.”

    Welcome to⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ the Daily Quote⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠, the podcast designed to kickstart your day in a positive way.

Support the show ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Buy me a coffee ⁠ Today’s quote is from Seneca… a Roman philosopher and statesman who lived nearly 2,000 years ago. One of the great figures of Stoicism, he wrote extensively about how to live a meaningful life with greater wisdom, self-control and contentment. Seneca once said… “No person has the power to have everything they want, but it is in their power not to want what they don’t have.” The quote is from Moral Letters to Lucilius (Letters 123.3). This version is a shortened form; the fuller translation adds: “…and to cheerfully put to good use what they do have.” I think the point here is that there is no way you can have everything. No matter how successful you are. No matter how wealthy or powerful you become, you will always want more. And some things will be outside your grasp.Instead of asking yourself how you can get everything you want, you might want to ask if you actually need everything you want? Seneca isn’t saying you shouldn’t have ambition or set goals. You can still build a business and improve yourself and move towards a better future. The idea here is not to make your happiness tied to achieving them. You can change the equation by appreciating what you already have and putting it to good use. Maybe the journey to having enough isn’t in acquiring more, but the learning to recognize that you already have enough. In today’s world with constant advertising showing us what we need. A better car, house, career, vacations, smart phones and lifestyles. We see influencers showing off how great their lives are and we want to have a life like that with the things that they have. The gap between what we have and what we are told we should have is endless. So here’s the question: What would change in your life if, for one day, you stopped focusing on what you're missing and deliberately appreciated what you already have? Remember, you don’t have to stop wanting more… just don’t let wanting more prevent you from appreciating what you already have. That’s going to do it for today.
