We explore the dangers of society's expectation for us to live grandiose lives filled with lofty dreams and goals, often leading to overreaching and over-projection. Contrarily, we discuss how community cultures can lead to a better understanding of ourselves. In this episode, we critically assess the impact of traditions and their potential to divert our focus away from building the future we want. We emphasize the importance of understanding the driving forces behind our actions—our 'whys.' We discuss how I found my own 'why' and its transformational effect on my life. Sharing from personal experience, Erwin recount's how he established his life's mission statement three decades ago, seeking to be a voice of hope in a world seemingly drowning in hopelessness. Furthermore, we provide guidance on finding one's 'why' and the power it holds in giving our lives a gravitational core. We underscore that the 'why' can be found in what makes us feel most alive, what we cannot stop doing regardless of remuneration. Finally, we discuss the importance of elevating people's thinking, dispelling cliches and superstitions, and shedding light on dark thoughts. Tune in as we navigate the future together.
