Ep. 30. A conversation with John

“The best use of a life time is to take committed actions and purposeful choices that are well reasoned and incorporate both good intent and your inner voice”  – “A man’s reach should exceed his grasp: don’t be afraid to fail 10% of the time” - “The concept of incrementalism: it’s ok to do things in little increments” – “Do small steps, when you think about goals: for me it was to read two pages a day. It actually adds up, if you’re just persistent: 2 pages a day is at least 700 pages a year. If you do that for 10 years, now you’re up to 7,000 pages” – “I’ve meditated every day since I was 12” - “You don’t really understand how you were raised, until you have to raise your own children” – “You don’t have to solve all the world’s problems in one swoop, so long as you’re making some form of progress, then that’s ok, you’re making progress” – “Best use of a lifetime book: https://tinyurl.com/y9ydkmxr” – 1. Understand your motivation 2. Reasoning (logic base) 3. Intent and inner voice 4. Take action” - “who do you surround yourself with, can be enormously beneficial” – “one of my mistakes in life, is I didn’t fail enough” - “There’s no guarantees in life, all you can do is make purposeful choices and understand the probabilities” – Song: Do it again, by the beach boys: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2QyGpLryhbM
