Choose, Practice, Recommit: This Is What It Takes to Have Great Things

Be. Play. Love.

We live in an instant gratification culture, so it’s not surprising that a lot of people want to just skip to the good part. We’re looking for that button that will magically fix everything wrong with our lives.

Well, the truth is, the journey is just as beautiful as the destination we wish to arrive at. We expect great things to just magically appear, but we don’t expect the same for athletes and musicians. Great things take work, commitment, practice and recommitment.

Then you have to do it over and over again.

That’s why we have to fall in love with the journey instead of the outcome. Getting to the thing you want requires you to both build something new while enjoying exactly where you are right now.

It’s not a matter of leapfrogging to the top of the mountain, it’s a matter of enjoying the climb. How do we befriend and accompany ourselves? How do we make sure we’re making self-loving choices even when we’re not yet where (or who) we want to be? In this episode, we talk about the only “magic button” for getting everything we want.

We have to learn to be with ourselves so deeply that no matter what happens, we can accompany ourselves through the journey. -Sophie Chiche

Three Things You’ll Learn In This Episode

-Don’t obsess over the outcome

The myth of life is that if we get the great relationship or the achievement we desire, it will solve all our problems. Why does this only set us up for disappointment?

-A sensory experience of self-love

We’re either making choices that affirm that we don’t matter or affirm that we love ourselves. How do these choices trickle down even to what we eat?

-Become your own ground

It’s easy to tie our joy to other people or some external milestone. How do we become so stable within ourselves that we don’t need that?
