Summary

In these ‘Moment’ episodes of my podcast, I’ll be selecting my favourite moments from previous episodes of The Diary Of A CEO.

This week we’re jumping back to episode 47, a solo episode where I talk about a simple solution that can help us get out of our own heads and overcome a tough situation.

If you ever feel trapped by your circumstances, this is the podcast for you. What’s crucial to understand is that you can’t control your environment, but you can control how you deal with it.

It’s through hard and challenging experiences that I’ve been able to build my own resilience using these methods. I want this podcast to go out to someone out there who’s in a similar situation but doesn’t know what to do.

0:27.4	And it kind of begs the question, why was Buddha so obsessed with something so internal
0:33.0	when referencing external factors?
0:36.0	And I guess my question to you is, what is your experience?
0:42.2	What is the experience you have as a human being?
0:45.1	What is that?
0:46.3	What is the experience you have at work?
0:48.4	What is controlling that?
0:50.0	What is the experience you have within your romantic relationship with your girlfriend
0:53.3	or boyfriend?
0:54.7	What is the experience you have when you're just walking down the street when you're arguing
0:58.5	with someone?
0:59.5	When you're sad, when you're happy, when you're celebrating a winner or a victory, when
1:02.8	you're riddled with anxiety and you can't move?
1:05.6	What is that?
1:07.0	The irrefutable answer is, it's just a bunch of thoughts, both vividly conscious thoughts
1:13.7	and quite distant, intangible subconscious thoughts, right?
