Episode 3621: Derek Sivers explores how hate and loss can serve as unexpected catalysts for self-discovery and personal clarity. By confronting what repels or devastates us, we uncover our deepest values and realign with what truly matters, sharpening our sense of purpose in the process. Read along with the original article(s) here: https://sive.rs/hate & https://sive.rs/loss Quotes to ponder: "I used to think hate was a negative emotion to be avoided. Now I see it as a useful alarm." "What you hate is a hint at what you value. What you hate shows what you believe should not be." "Loss feels like being stripped of everything, but then you realize what was underneath it all."
