“Everybody wants what feels good. Everyone wants to live a carefree, happy and easy life, to fall in love and have amazing relationships, to look perfect and make money and be popular and well-respected and admired and a total baller to the point that people part like the Red Sea when you walk into the room.”
This is the start of a great piece called The Most Important Question of Your Life written by today’s guest, author Mark Manson of MarkManson.net.
In this episode of The Competitive Edge we dive into the topic of achievement and how we can approach the art of “happily achieving”
It’s funny. A lot of us are really quick to ask ourselves what we want without ever asking what we’re willing to give up to achieve it which is a much greater predictor of whether we’ll get those things and enjoy the process along the way.
This episode is a bit all over the place, but Mark shares some mindsets that have helped him in his own entrepreneurial journey in growing one of the largest self-development sites on the internet.
Resiliency, values, and overcoming fear are just a few of the topics we’’ll go deep on.
Consider this required listening for anyone who wants to be their best selves!
