Episode 71: On Abundance, Love, and Spirituality
from Beyond Fit · host Jake Parker
This podcast encompassed a lot. These three concepts have been at the top of mind for me recently and I wanted to clarify and get my thoughts out on them. It is my hope that you will find value in the things I have to say here as far as opinions, explanations, and advice. Major topics covered were the difference between an abundance mentality and a zero sum mentality, loving everyone with no strings attached and how selfishness plays into this paradoxically, and how to be spiritually healthy in important yet overlooked ways like focusing on what is under your control or doing what you say. Mentioned: Naval Ravikant on Joe Rogan https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3qHkcs3kG44&t=46s https://app-v3.wakingup.com/ https://jamesaltucher.com/ Ryan Holiday's The Daily Stoic https://dailystoic.com/what-is-stoicism-a-definition-3-stoic-exercises-to-get-you-started/ https://www.meetup.com/ "This is Water" commencement speech from David Foster Wallace https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8CrOL-ydFMI&t=448s Quotes I mentioned (and a couple I didn't mention that apply): “You can do anything but not everything” -David Allen “The mind is the limit. As long as the mind can envision the fact that you can do something, you can do it- as long as you really believe it 100%.” -Arnold Schwarzenegger "If you want success, figure out the price, then pay it." Scott Adams "There is no enjoying the possession of anything valuable unless one has someone to share it with.” -Seneca “For no one would choose to live without friends even if he had all other goods.” -Aristotle "“When your vision is powerful enough everything else falls into place: how you live your life, your workouts, what friends you choose to hang out with, how you eat, what you do for fun.” -Arnold Schwarzenegger
