“What is the Advent season? And what exactly are we waiting for?
For so many in our world, the Advent is like waiting for the Amazon truck to arrive. It’s the anticipation for something that which change our present circumstances. In today’s podcast and post, I will challenge this assumption and reveal that this isn’t the Advent at all.
Join me now as we learn to see Beyond Everything with a look at our mundane, unspectacular existence to see if we can find the true experience of Advent.
“How do you know if you have found your purpose in life?”
Today we continue part two of our “Launch your Life” series with a closer look at discovering our purpose in life. The world’s conventional wisdom always points us to look toward our career, family, or religion in order to find our purpose. While these can be institutions from which our purpose can arise, today I will challenge the assumption that these are the same thing.
Join me now as we explore the sure-fire, but counter-intuitive, way of discovering our life’s purpose, and why chasing a purpose ultimately leads us to despair.
“Do you ever find yourself on the edge of despair?”
Has life not turned out like you thought it would? Did it not yield to you all that it seemed to promise while you were in your youth? If so, then you are not alone. In today’s podcast we take a look at the ebb and flow of life and take some advice from the wisest man that ever lived.
Join me now as we see beyond all of our effort and output and our climbing and striving, to discover what is really going on beyond it all.
We all know something about drinking the corporate Kool-Aid, but have you considered just how deep this subject actually goes? In this podcast and post I will show that drinking the corporate Kool-Aid is the price we pay in order to receive the identity and life that our organizations can give us. Unhappiness is the realization that the Kool-Aid is unavoidable and some people think the answer is to become anti-corporate or to go off the grid. Freedom is possible and it is found in a paradoxical way. We need not give up on society, or our dreams, but we must surrender the means. One rule replaces all the rules. One motivation replaces all motivations. A true identity means we are free from the one the system gives us. Freedom is to be in the world but not of it.
