I think we often have this idea that change comes from this one singular event, right?

People talk about like, oh, I hit rock bottom and then I knew I woke up the next day and I vowed I was never going to drink again or whatever or I had this

epiphany this vision. Sure sometimes that happens. But a lot of the time change

comes from like the thousand paper cuts of life.

And there's one day when a one thousand and one happens

and you're like, God damn it, I am so done with this.

But or, or not just injury, but like little gestures we make micro gestures towards change that maybe operate even below the level of our conscious awareness but over time these micro gestures accumulate so if you record each one of them you could look

back and reconstruct a narrative. All right, welcome back or welcome to the Finding Mastery Podcast.

I'm Michael Jervay.

And by Trade and Training, I'm a sport and performance psychologist,

as well as the co-founder of Compete to Create.

And if you haven't picked up the Audible Original

that we just dropped. I want to

encourage you to do that and if you have I want to say thank you and you can

find the audible original. It's only available at audible at audible at

at audible.com forward slash compete to create. Now the whole idea behind these

conversations is to learn from people who are on the path of mastery. We want to

better understand what it is that they're searching for,

not so that we understand them better so much, but so that we can better identify what

we're searching for in life.

And we want to dig to understand the psychological framework that they use,

how they see themselves, how they make sense of the events around them.
