276. The Unsexiest Truth About Creating What You Want in Life and Business

Episode 276: The Unsexiest Truth About Creating What You Want in Life and Business In this episode, I dive into what I believe is one of the most overlooked ingredients in creativity, business, and life: patience. I share a passage from Rick Rubin's The Creative Act about how patience is required for the nuanced development of your craft, and how impatience paradoxically ends up taking more time and energy. I explore the difference between victim consciousness ("I've done everything right, why isn't it working yet?") and trusting the natural rhythms of your unfolding process.  I connect ideas from David Whyte's Consolations ("harvesting presence"), Eckhart Tolle's A New Earth, and a quote from Alex Hormozi: "People who love walking will walk further than the people who only love the destination." My invitation to you is to contemplate how you can cultivate more patience in your creative process, your business, and your relationships.
