Summary

In high school they ask us what we want to do, but they never stop to have us consider our why (our purpose/our calling). This is why people can get miserable in jobs—it’s not in balance with their why. Simon Sinek talks about this notion a lot and today I’m going to distill it for you in my own words and offer up how I’m applying this notion in my life. It’s my hope that after checking this lesson out, you’ll not only have a greater understanding of why your why matters most (as opposed to the what or how) and you’ll start to think about what your why is. Make sure to write it down as you do. Even as you work through the process of figuring it out, write everything down. Saying it to yourself in your head is not enough. You must speak it to existence. Once you have it, allow it to be your guiding light. And please share it with me and others, whether in the comment section or hit me up on social media @PhilSvitek. I’d love to hear from you!

Green Millennium, The by Fritz Leiber (1910 - 1992) LibriVox From the classic science-fiction and fantasy author Fritz Leiber comes this intriguing tale of a green cat. From the author's introduction: "The world Phil Gish lived in was not a pretty one, and Phil didn't enjoy living in it. He was disillusioned, purposeless, hopeless, and haunted by the fear that a robot would take over his job. But then Phil was a timid person, not much given to adventure seeking. If he hadn't been so mild he might have found his kicks at All Amusements, the syndicated playground where anyone could find fun, providing he had the proper sadistic and otherwise aberrated elements in his personality. But Phil was good—and bored.And then one day a cat perched on his window—not an ordinary cat—a green cat. For the first time in years Phil was happy. He promptly named the cat Lucky because he somehow knew that as long as the cat stayed with him he'd feel fine. But Lucky didn't stay long. In a matter of minutes he had disappeared into All Amusements park. It Phil Cruise Cast Philip Suarez A short and entertaining podcast for the latest cruise news and reviews from the UK
