Magic 8-Ball: A tough love smackdown

<p>A while back, I happened upon a quote as I was scrolling through Instagram that felt like a benevolent smack in the face (if there is such a thing):</p> <p><em>“The true joy of life is being used for a purpose recognized by yourself as a mighty one; being thoroughly worn out before you are thrown on the scrap heap; being a force of nature instead of a feverish, selfish little clod of ailments and grievances, complaining that the world will not devote itself to making you happy.”</em> –George Bernard Shaw</p> <p>I mean, DAMN. That’s some deep wisdom and a <em>sick</em> burn rolled into one!</p> <p>I immediately took a screenshot and told Kristen that we MUST talk about this quote on the podcast.</p> <p>So, on this Magic 8-ball episode originally from August 2018, we’re breaking down this mic-drop moment by George Bernard Shaw and getting into…
</p> <ul> <li>Why your purpose doesn’t need to be impressive or seem purposeful to anyone else.</li> <li>How you can be fulfilled without needing to feel like the most significant person in the room.</li> <li>Why it’s critical for you to question the common definition of concepts like “success,” “enough,” and “impact.”</li> <li>Why living a thoroughly good life is about taking small, daily risks, rather than big, flashy ones.</li> <li>How to let go of feeling like a victim to your circumstances (and get off the endless loop of complaining).
