#10: Waiting Patiently (For Better Results)
May 23, 2019
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.
