Summary

We often get so caught up in the "doing" i.e. all of the things that we busy ourselves with in life, that we rarely stop to ask ourselves, "why?" Should I have done things this way or that way? This way of thinking gets us stuck in the past. We second guess ourselves based on the "should factor" whether imposed on ourselves or the pressure we may encounter from others. It's important to ask ourselves, "Why am I following a particular path?" Or why did I respond in the way that I did to a given situation? If we ask ourselves these questions we honor our inner personal journey of understanding what aligns with our true self. This helps us move beyond the "should factor" to the inner peace of knowing that we are putting our best efforts into each action we take and reminds us that we are enough.

Why Are Famous Mathematicians Not The Richest Gamblers? Tyler Ashcroft Picture the scene: Galileo, a true polymath and titan of science, sits in Monte Carlo, that most glamorous of gambling venues. But today, he isn't contemplating the spinning of the planets. Instead, his gaze is concentrated on a smaller spinning object: a roulette wheel.Ok, it's an unlikely scenario, but there's a real question here. Let's put it another way: if gaming is all about probability, why aren't all mathematicians insanely wealthy? There are plenty of theories as to why expertize in math doesn't necessarily make for gambling riches, but here are three possibilities: firstly, we might – just might – win big at the casino, but we can't escape our psychology. Secondly, it takes money to make money. And sometimes – just sometimes – there are more important things than cash.Read the whole article here: https://casinovalley.ca/facts/why-famous-mathematicians-not-the-richest-gamblers/ The Introvert 360 Podcast Rebecca Anderson / Kari White The Introvert 360 is a podcast that circles around the things that matter most to introverts.
