Albert Einstein famously said, “There are only two ways to live your life. One is as though nothing is a miracle. The other is as though everything is a miracle.” I had an experience last week that reminded me of the power of synchronicity. On this episode, I talk about how prevalent synchronicities are and how important it is for us to tap into them, especially these days.
I went to see a powerful one-man show this week in New York called Without You, by Anthony Rapp, the actor who originated the role of Mark in the musical Rent on Broadway. Anthony shared a moving story in the show about dealing with the loss of his mother and being told that “the only way out is through,” regarding his grief journey. This phrase and concept, while challenging at times, is so important for us to remember as we navigate various aspects of work, family, and life, especially these days. On this episode, I talk about why it’s essential for us to lean into discomfort, even when it’s painful or scary. I also share some specific things we can do individually and collectively to make our way effectively through hard things.
Having a beginner’s mind means we look at every situation we’re placed in as if it’s the first time we’re seeing it. On this episode talk about how this concept is easier said than done, and why it’s so important to our growth, wellbeing, and success. I also share some specific things we can do to cultivate this powerful approach at work and in life.
Work and life are filled with constant changes and challenges, especially these days. Our ability to navigate through uncertainty and difficulty has a lot to do with our level of success and fulfillment, both personally and collectively. On this episode, I talk about some of the ways life can throw punches at us, particularly right now. I also share some specific things we can do to more effectively roll with the punches and not just survive, but actually thrive, regardless of the circumstances.
As I turn 49 years old this week, I’m thinking a lot about my age and age in general. While age is just a number, it is a pretty significant one for most of us. On this episode, I talk about some of the things that can make our relationship to our age complicated and challenging, especially in our society. I also share some things we can do to make peace with ourselves and our age wherever we are in our journey of life.
