How we lose track of Reality and where to find it

“You must not fool yourself… and you are the easiest person to fool” Richard Feynman We all have goals and ideas for our future, but things don’t always go according to plan. There is a mismatch between the idea when it is in the safe space of our mind and when we try to bring the idea into the world Most of our failures come down to a detachment from reality. This episode breaks down the psychological nature of ideas. Where the differeneces lie compared to the practicalities of life.  It then covers practical steps to level up your game plan and confront reality in the face as it happens.
