E433 | When Wanting Something Safe and Stable Feels Wrong

Many of us have had moments where we feel like we should want more, when really we want something simple and straightforward. It creates a kind of cognitive dissonance. We want to make an impact. We want to do something people remember us for. And at the same time, the idea of a steady paycheck and not a lot to worry about sounds really nice.  We don't want to lose sleep staring at the fan all night, wondering if we're going to be able to pay the bills, wondering if we're ever going to get out of debt. But we keep wrestling with the other side of us — the one that says you have to make a bigger difference, you can't leave anything on the table, you only get one shot at this. This episode is a case study that unpacks exactly that. We get into an individual who was wrestling with himself, stuck in a shame loop he felt like he was never going to get out of. You're going to love this one. For more on this: Pick up more on the ideas behind this episode at theantiheroadvantage.com.
