The real truth you need to be aware of, and start practising, is the five-second rule: you have five-seconds to take physical action to marry intention with the inspiration that has just surfaced in your mind. You won't need 20 seconds of insane courage if you don't make a decision to act first.   The most difficult thing is the decision to act, the rest is merely tenacity. The fears are paper tigers. You can do anything you decide to do. You can act to change and control your life; and the procedure, the process is its own reward.   Email me your content suggestions, comments and questions at: rinaldo@eli20.com    Links and resources: Meg's Ted Talk   ---- If you've enjoyed this episode subscribe to ELI20 Podcast and leave a review for the show so our voice reaches and helps as many twenty somethings and young adults as possible.

Best piece of career advice I can give is: Fix the lifestyle you want. Then work backwards from there. I'll get into how to actually answer the question, but first I'll explain why it's important to answer this question in this form. The problem with career planning, is that most people focus on the wrong properties when making professional decisions. They either ask vague questions about the nature of the work — "is this my passion?"; "is this what I want to do with my life?" — or they sidestep this ambiguity by optimizing ego metrics — "what pays the most?"; "what would be most impressive to my old high school friends?" Neither of these strategies work well. The problem with the first approach is...   Questions to help yourself define the lifestyle you want: How much control do I have over my schedule? What's the intensity level of my job? What's the importance of what I do? What's the prestige level? What type of work? Where do I live? What's my social life like? What's my work life

If we're always manically chasing our next goal and constantly blowing ourselves up with stimulation and notifications and entertainment, it's very easy to miss the opportunity and feel that hollow sense of falling short of who we are capable of being but not quite sure why. Unplug. Go deep. Think: Can I get something back?

Means of experiencing the pain of problems constructively that we call discipline? Four tools of discipline: delaying of gratification, acceptance of responsibility, dedication to truth, and balancing.   The life of wisdom must be a life of contemplation combined with action.   Those things that hurt, instruct. - Benjamin Franklin   The suffering from avoiding reality is more painful than reality itself.   The more clearly we see the reality of the world, the better equipped we are to deal with the world. ---- If you've enjoyed this episode subscribe to ELI20 Podcast and leave a review for the show so our voice reaches and helps as many twenty somethings and young adults as possible.
