QUOTES FROM THE PODCAST
“We have so much f*cking information, and what we’re lacking is wisdom…I don’t think people want wisdom, to be honest. Because wisdom, it also implies a level of action and experience; self-attained knowledge.”
“To understand what’s truly possible you have to sit in wonder, not in limitation”.
“The minute you start thinking big you tap out. Because you realise you only have so much time on this planet. You are going to die… It’s a cool bias to have, “It just won’t happen to me”, it’s a good feeling, but it’s something that people need to address that the whole point of having a vision, this idea of ‘What’s Beyond the Horizon?’, in a very specific direction, because a vision, much like wisdom, is a path you know when you’re off course.”
“As I was doing this [cleaning my room], a really interesting thought came into my head… it started to dawn on me: “Am I cleaning my room, am I cleaning my kitchen or am I cleaning myself?” So every time I make a change in the world, am I changing the world or myself?”
“If you exercise the path the path becomes clear”.
“It’s uncomfortable as f*ck to put your self second to what the world is calling for. And I say calling because if you sit and listen long enough to what’s going on without doing a spiritual bypass, you’ll start to come into full contact of what your calling is”.
