FROM THIS SHOW...

 

Are you frequently frustrated by the result of your efforts? Do you feel stuck even though you’re fighting to stay in motion?

Once you have a compelling vision for how your life will function, you must keep yourself held captive by it. This is how a very resilient mind is developed, and it cuts through the sea of confusion and pressure like a sturdy ship’s bow breaking through the waves of the storm.

In this episode, Mike and Daniel open up about the friction in their work lives as a result of needing a vision for what it looks like in the future. Mike shares the story of patiently enduring his own need for a vision, the result of persistent self-refining.

TAKEAWAYS

  • Impatience reveals a lack of vision and leads to forcing results, producing unintended consequences and undesirable effects.
  • Patience is like a farmer preparing all year for a harvest. You have to put in the work on your vision even when it looks like nothing is happening.
  • When you seek out and wait for a vision for your life, it will come and it will fit you exactly. Patience is breathtakingly beautiful!
