The 10-Point Drift Diagnosis: Modern Life Is Like a Lazy River

from Chasing Excellence

Are you unknowingly losing your edge — not in one dramatic moment, but through a thousand small, quiet compromises? In this episode, we diagnose the 10 forces of modern life that pull us toward what we call "the pool of dysfunction" — and, more importantly, we explore the countermeasures to swim against the current. Discover why drift is the true villain in the pursuit of health, happiness, and hearts on fire.From comfort everywhere and infinite digital distraction to food engineered for addiction and the erosion of awareness, we break down exactly where drift shows up and what to do about it. Learn how Thomas Aquinas's four idols and the concept of entropy frame the battle, why anything under zero compounds just as powerfully as anything above it, and how choosing useful discomfort is the first step back toward intention and action.👉 Get the full Listener's Guide here❤️ Free Newsletter & the Chase Club🏁 New to Chasing Excellence?
