Hi, welcome back to the Personality Hacker Podcast. My name is Joe Mark Witt.

And I'm Antonio Dodge. You know, when I was a kid, my parents would always say, the ends do not justify the means. You know, this whole

notion of when you're doing something in life and you want an outcome, you got to do, like the things you do to get the outcome have

to be appropriate. They have to be in alignment with your core values and with the right thing

to do. This is what I was always told growing up, right?

You might have been told something very similar from your parents basically and we

seem to be living in a time period right now and we're looking around in the world. There's a lot of

people into certain causes, things that they believe in strongly. And we've

noticed that a lot of people are willing to sacrifice oftentimes doing something

that might be in a core alignment with them or with their core values or with what makes sense

to them they're willing to put that aside right now in the world

in order to get a result, something they really stand for, something that's a result they want in their life

or they want in the world in general, they're willing to put aside maybe some of those key things

that they would think of as, I guess, I mean, I've already said it.

I'll say it again, core values in order to get that result.

So today we thought we'd talk a little bit about

the difference between just getting a result, you know the end point, the results in life,

versus the means to get those results, the process that you go through in order to get a result in your life.

Which one, as you're looking in life, which one is more important?

Which one should we as humans value over the other? Which one's

the appropriate way to move through the world and get things accomplished?

Well and I think going back to that old axiom the ends don't justify the means, I don't think that's always true.
