39. Parveen Dhupar and Erin on Lovin' It, Livin' It and Finding Your Ikigai

"Lovin' It, Livin' It" is the motto of this week's guest, Parveen Dhupar, and as he explains, the order matters! As Parveen describes so beautifully, "You have to love yourself first, you have to love life first, before you can live it to its fullest".  Parveen shares a moment of regret in his life that forever changed how he evaluates his priorities and controls his time. He also describes his gentle, mindful approach to starting each day and why it's important in the mornings to not feel rushed. Parveen introduces me to the Japanese concept of Ikigai (a passion that gives value and joy to life) and it's easy to see through our conversation how Parveen lives his values through his own ikigai of contributing towards building a united world. He also continues to reinforce the lessons I've been learning around mindset and positivity with his insightful "I get to do the dishes!" story.  Finally, we build Parveen's equation: 2m + 2j + 3r + 6e + 15b + 15so + 15f
