Summary

A meditation on the feeling of non-stop seeking and grasping toward things that exist on the outside – versus asking from the inside, how can my life become more meaningful. I think a lot of people look outward for a source of success and fulfillment: in what others say, in what we have, in all the proof points of “I am enough.” And that is reinforced by the systems in place: social media, devices, content, entertainment… This is an episode that invites you to consider: Maybe there’s nothing to fix, but the problem lies in our grasping and avoiding of discomfort. This episode also invites you to scan back on your life and look at what truer values are for your happiness – the things you don’t necessarily see reflected back to you on a phone. What are the moments that only you appreciate and how can you bring out more of them in your life? It starts with becoming aware of this habit loop in the first place.

0:41.1	kind of way.
0:42.6	I think that's because a lot of people look outward for a source of fulfillment and in what
0:49.1	others say or in what we have and all the proof points of am I enough?
0:54.9	And that is actually I think the result of all of the systems in place that kind of guide
1:02.0	or habits like media and devices and content and kind of this constant, we're in a constant
1:09.9	selfie mode in like a lifestyle sense.
1:13.9	So this is an episode that will invite you to consider, you know, just I guess recalibrate.

1:26.6	you know.
1:28.4	So with this episode it's not a what, why, now it's a long, long what and then a bunch

1:42.0	So if you are a person who is in that state of what I call grasping that you have kind
1:49.4	of like a constant state of I need something more, I need something, what's the thing that
1:54.4	will fulfill me?
1:55.4	It's kind of like another way to look at that feeling is like a almost like a resistance
