Episode 2122: Jeff Goins challenges two common assumptions about achievement, revealing how both rigid self-determination and passive fatalism can prevent us from pursuing meaningful work. By exploring how limitations can uncover hidden strengths, he offers a practical path toward recognizing your calling, acting on it, and creating a lasting impact. Read along with the original article(s) here: https://goinswriter.com/lies-success/ Quotes to ponder: “Finding your calling is not some carefully-laid plan. It’s not a goal you set and plow through life to achieve. At the same time, it isn't a series of random events, either.” “Everyone has a right to do work that matters.” “What makes a life extraordinary aren't the chances we get, but what we do with them.” Episode references: The Art of Work: https://www.amazon.com/Art-Work-Proven-Discovering-Meant/dp/0718022076 Learn more about your ad choices.
