#52 The Exploding Balloon Effect

We go in search of new ideas, new topics and new thoughts everyday. Always on the hunt for something new. Sometimes it can be our perfect next step, but other times it is just another distraction that we are using to fill a void. Just like when we are choosing a balloon to blow up as a kid, there is a multiple of things that happen. We pick the coolest one first, we worry that the balloon may burst, we run out of air before we even finish blowing up the balloon or we can even hold it in a way that the air escapes. When do we really know when to tie that knot? I have suffered from blowing up too many balloons, getting totally puffed out and then deciding that I never liked balloons anyway. Are you using your next 'big thing' as something to hinder your from your true path? And do you really need to know ALL of it? Join me in this episode of The Exploding Balloon Effect __ I’ve burned through enough identities to stop believing in a final version of myself. For a long time, I stood in the middle of reality demanding answers. Reality laughed, lit a cigarette, and left me holding the blueprint. Now I trace the patterns in identity, belief and human behaviour, and talk about what I find. My Ego Says Hi holds all my old podcasts, alongside whatever comes next. Different versions of me speaking from different points in the same life. My books, Money Surge, Body Surge and Love Surge, explore the patterns, beliefs and behaviours that shape our relationships with money, our bodies and love. Together they form the Surge Trilogy, three 21-day protocols available as full audiobooks on Spotify.
